Priyanka Reveals her Beauty Secrets.

Priyanka Chopra is one of the most successful models out there – originally from India, she’s starred in over 40 films, models for GUESS! & other top brands, covered VOGUE India, and was the former Miss India World. The stunning supermodel sat down with VOGUE to talk about makeup tips, bathing with greek yogurt, advice & more.

This buxom beauty doesn’t need a lot of makeup to accentuate her looks, but she does have a few ‘go-tos’:  “When I’m tired, I do dark eyes and a nude lip. Shhh! [So] you’re never going to be able to catch the dark circles. And when I’m not tired, I do a bright mouth and nude eyes.”

Less is more, plus her fail-safe beauty regiment: “An eye is great, a lip is great, but when it comes to foundation, less is more. If you take care of your skin, then you just need to worry about concealing the little things. I have a rule: No matter how tired, sleepy, or drunk I am, I have to take my makeup off at night. It’s my routine no matter where I am in the world, no matter how much sleep I do or don’t get. Shiseido has this really great eye makeup remover. I use a foaming face wash from Chanel. [My routine] takes five minutes, but it goes so far.” 

Fragrances are an essential touch to any woman, even Z Management founder, Thomas Zeumer, says, “Fragrance is a must for any girl. Whatever makes you feel best, wear it to your next casting. Your scent makes you memorable.”

Priyanka changes her perfume constantly, “some women cut their hair. I change fragrances. I’ll stick with one for a year or two, and then suddenly something will happen in my life where I’ll be like, “I want to be a different person.” Right now I wear Flora by Gucci, but Dolce & Gabbana The One and Ralph Lauren Romance are my all-time favorites.”

Chopra’s beauty secret from India: “Bathing with Greek yogurt. It’s really hydrating. Make sure you do it at night, because it leaves a little bit of a scent, and don’t do it if you’re spending the night with someone. [Laughs] If you’re in the shower, just rub it into your body like you would soap, then step out of the shower, let it sit for three minutes and wash it off.  [Three times] a week. If you rub it into your scalp, it will even heal dandruff. It’s magic. I believe in natural therapies. I use so much ayurveda in my day-to-day life.”

On the best advice she’s ever received, “It’s the hardest thing to do, but if you feel happy and confident, you will look beautiful. When you walk out the door and feel like you’re the only girl in the world, people will look at you that way. It’s an amazing, miraculous thing that happens.” Preach girl, preach! 

Model of the Year: GiGi HADiD.

»GiGi Hadid« From ruling the runways of CHANEL to Marc Jacobs to Jean Paul Gaultier & more, gracing the pages of VOGUE, Harper’s Bazaar, V Magazine, Sports Illustrated, ELLE, Schön, CR Fashion Book, starring in ad campaigns for GUESS!, Tom Ford, and now named as the face of Maybelline — homegirl GiGi is beyond just hitting #SupermodelStatus. It’s no wonder this blonde beauty was named Model of the Year at the Daily Front Row Fashion Awards in Los Angeles.

Gigi tweeted, “Thank you @dailyfrontrow for a beautiful night and for the honor! Congratulations to all the other winners, who inspire not only me but the entire fashion world every day and thank you @nicolerichie for being you and for your beautiful intro. I love you!”

She rocked a red Calvin Klein gown on the red carpet, “It’s kind of surreal, because I feel like if you were to ask me who deserves model of the year I could name a hundred people that I think deserve it as well. It’s such an honor, and I love the whole team at Daily Front Row. I feel so lucky that they think that I deserve it.”

And of course, her model mama, Yolanda Foster (also star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) helped GiGi with the infamous Maybelline contract, she said, “Well my mom kind of was involved with the whole contract. She actually knew a lot of it with my agent [Luiz Mattos] before they told me. Luiz gave me my Christmas present. I opened it in front of the whole agency and it was my contract. My mom was there when I opened my present. And my whole family’s so excited. It was the best Christmas present I’ve ever gotten in my life.”

Girl had some serious supermodel competition from Cara Delevingne, Kate Upton, Kendall Jenner, Joan Smalls … the list goes ON & ON.

She chatted with E! News — on BFF Kendall,  “We’ve only been friends for like a year now, but she’s one of my best friends. She’s so awesome.”

Gigi had modeling in her genes: “I was always kinda told that when I was becoming a model, don’t live with a model because you get competitive…but I don’t really find that I get competitive with my friends, especially with someone like Kendall…we look nothing alike. So someone that’s gonna want a Kendall is not gonna want a Gigi.”

On her mom’s (Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Yolanda Foster) illness: “You know it’s hard, especially with something like Lyme Disease, not a lot of people know about it, especially doctors so they don’t really know how to help, medical wise. So it’s really hard for me and my siblings to know how we could help, but I guess just being supportive is the best way we can do it.”

Adding, “You can tell how much it means to her when, during a lunch break on a shoot, I’ll FaceTime her and talk to her about how my day’s going. I think just the little things like that is what’s helping her get through it.”

On body image: “”I’ve kinda had an easy time with the whole body image thing, just because from the second I walked into IMG, I was like, ‘This is what I wanna do with my career, but the one thing is that I’m not gonna lose a certain amount of weight. I’m not gonna be extremely skinny.’ I just don’t want to do that,” she explains. “I’ve always been an athlete. I’ve always had a certain body type that I’ve always been happy with and I didn’t wanna let that go for a career.”

The 19 year old’s younger sister Bella Hadid is also following in her sisters modeling footsteps. Congrats Gigi!! Can’t wait to watch you continue your fabulous reign over the modeling & fashion world! XOXO »Z.

Snapping selfies on Instagram to modeling for GUESS!

From snapping selfies on Instagram to becoming the face of GUESS!

Australia’s Next Top Model’s 2011 second runner-up Simone Holtznagel has just been announced as the face of clothing brand, Guess. What’s interesting about her new fab modeling gig is HOW she was discovered. Paul Marciano, CEO & founder of the brand, spotted the blonde bombshell on Instagram after she moved to LA.

Marciano said, “[Simone’s the one] I was talking about that I found on Instagram from Australia! She is 21 and now moved to Cal[ifornia]. She will shoot for Spring Marciano or Guess!’ he wrote next to one of her bikini shots. ” The company, which has over 500,000 followers posted a pic of Simone on Friday – making it official.

The 21 year old is beyond excited – she has over 25,000 followers on IG. Whether she’s chilling in her car or behind the scenes at a photo shoot, she’s great at snapping some pretty babely shots of herself. Plus, she’s always giving shout-outs to fellow top models, like Gone Girl’s Emily Ratajkowski.

Simone tweeted,  ‘The secrets out! So excited!’, adding, ” ‘Love to my LA family @twomanagement, the whole @guess family and of course Mr @paulmarciano’. It’s a win-win situation all around.

Founder of STORM Model Management Sarah Doukas, has said about Cara Delevingne, “For Cara, it just comes naturally to use social media and it’s just part of the way she lives,” she said. “I mean the other day she took a selfie on the catwalk. Nobody else from another generation, perhaps Kate’s, would even consider doing that.”
