What are your top 5 beauty and makeup
hacks?
I truly believe that everyone looks better
on the outside when they feel confident
on the inside. To boost my confidence, I
utilise these 5 tips below so that I look and
feel great.
1. A great smile is imperative to feeling
confident! I regularly use the White Glo
Diamond Series, at least once a week to
maintain my white teeth; it leaves them
looking flawless and feeling fresh! - It’s my
secret weapon!
2. Being on photoshoots can be very
hard on my skin. Healthy skin is also
super important to feeling confident, and
I use the Elucent Skincare Whitening
range every day to cleanse, exfoliate and
moisturise- it’s amazing! It is so important
to have a skin regime!
3. I always feel super sexy and confident
when I’ve got a tan, but I’m also a
firm believer of protecting my skin
from the harmful effects of the sun - so
thank goodness for spray tans! My tip -
“I think the crucial thing is that you need
to embrace your uniqueness and love
yourself and everything that makes you
different–that’s what makes you YOU!
When you learn to love yourself, the
confidence will naturally come.”
Mediterranean tan self-tanning mousse
for the most natural looking tan
skin so smooth, and I smell like I’m on a
tropical Island!
4. I usually go for a really simple makeup
look for every day, but I love wearing a
bright lip when I want to glam it up. My
fave lipstick at the moment is the Lip
Quench lipstick in ‘Electra Pink’ by Face
of Australia Cosmetics. It’s bright and fun
and instantly makes me feel special when
I wear it.
You are also a model. Do you have any
insider tips on how to look great in
photos and make them Insta perfect?
5. I’m really obsessed with coconut oilnot just for cooking with (it’s so good for
revving up your metabolism and helps
with burning fat), but also as a body
moisturiser! I lather myself up with it after
a shower, and let it soak into my skin for a
few minutes before dressing. It makes my
My number 1 tip is to smile! Everyone
looks better when they smile; they look
happier, more at ease and more confident!
In terms of making them ‘insta-perfect’,
a great filter always helps (Valencia is my
go-to).
