The hectic pace of a model’s life can mean taking care of your looks sometimes takes a backseat. Find out how some of Canada’s top models plan on making over their beauty regime
Sure, they’ve been blessed with willowy physiques, long legs and beauty that makes them stand out from the crowd, but even top models have to work at getting gorgeous and taking care of themselves. Take a cue from the beauty resolutions these five famous faces have made for themselves to wake up your regime.
Decompress with a DIY spa Tori L., who graced Elle Canada’s July 2009 cover and has strutted the catwalk for Canadian design darlings DSquared2 three times, has a hectic schedule for 2010 and so she’s made a promise to make time for herself with an at-home spa. Her spa essentials? “A bath using Crabtree & Evelyn Mineral Revitalizing Soak, candles, magazines and no phone!” says the green-eyed beauty who has eight years of modeling experience under her belt.
Invest in makeup you love You’d think catwalkers would get bored with makeup, having their faces done and redone for the shows, but Addison Gill still gets excited with discovering new products to add her cosmetics bag. Addison just started modeling last year, but has been a very busy girl: She was not only named Best New Face in Canada at the P&G Beauty Awards, she also won the V magazine/Supreme Model Search, has been photographed for Elle Canada, Italian Vogue, Teen Vogue, Flare and Glow, and she’s done a ton of runway shows, including Jason Wu, Emporio Armani, Marchesa and Nanette Lepore. As for Addison’s new favourite beauty collection: Laura Mercier. “The tinted moisturizer is light and fresh and the natural colour palette adds that extra little glow to complete my look,” says the Caledonia, Ont., native. Another staple of hers is Burt’s Bee's Radiance Day, Night, and Eye Creme. “I like the line because it is 99-percent natural and it soothes my skin even after a long day of makeup changes during Fashion Week.”
