Canada's top models spill their beauty secrets.
Irina Lazareanu Bio Born in Montreal, Lazareanu studied ballet in London and went on tour with British musician Pete Doherty before scoring a modelling gig for Chanel in 2004. Since then, Lazareanu has walked in shows for Fendi and Christian Dior and played muse to Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld and Balenciaga’s Nicolas Ghesquière.
Off-duty makeup “I try to let my skin breathe because I wear so much makeup all the time. If I’m going out, I’ll wear a bit of blush, Clé de Peau concealer, Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes mascara and Chanel black eyeliner.”
Favourite fashion designer “I started with Karl Lagerfeld, who has been very present in my career. He just has the most amazing knowledge and can talk to you about anything.”
Favourite makeup artist “My personal favourite is French artist Stéphane Marais. He has a way of making women look beautiful.”
Memorable makeup look “Probably my first photo shoot for Italian Vogue with Pat McGrath. It was all about rock ’n’ roll, and Pat did really amazing black eyes and red lips.”
Model-perfect photo tip “Turn your face so that you have a slight profile and smile with your eyes.”
Flawless-skin secrets “I just discovered Lush — their Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub is really amazing! I have oily skin that’s dry in spots, so I use Clé de Peau and Estée Lauder hydrating masks to moisturize. To remove makeup, I go for something very simple, like Neutrogena or L’Oréal face wipes.”
Irina's beauty must-haves: Clé de Peau Concealer in Ivory ($85); Maybelline New York Dream Mousse Blush in Rose Petal ($9); Neutrogena Deep Clean Oil-Free Make-Up Remover Wipes ($10); Chanel Le Crayon Yeux in Noir ($25); Lush Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub ($17.95).
