Modeling Wasn’t My Plan…
Chemistry always interested me as I wanted to get into cosmetics. But modeling just snowballed and I decided to dedicate myself to it. I have no regrets; I’ve learned so much about life, people and myself from being in this industry.
I Still Love Beauty Products…
I use Embryolisse moisturizer and primer, Bobbi Brown stick foundation and a Tom Ford Beauty contour palette. The best tip I’ve picked up is to use more highlighter than contour – you should always enhance lightness, not create shadows. All the top makeup artists say ‘less is more’; the ‘no-makeup makeup’ look is definitely the most flattering.
I’m Finally Embracing Color This Season…
I used to only wear black, but I recently bought a red bomber by Petar Petrov. It’s really opened up my eyes to how modern and chic color can be.
Jumping Rope Is My Secret Weapon…
You can do it everywhere and it’s such a good workout. I do it in my hotel room – sometimes I do just five minutes jumping and then some sit-ups and push-ups.
Modeling Has Taught Me…
That you’ve got to learn to accept yourself and be nice to yourself. Your differences are what make you who you are.
