Models’ Secret: 10 Beauty Products Every Woman Should Have

0 184

Models may be pros at walking with authority, wearing clothes well, and looking good doing practically anything—but if there is one thing that exceeds their fashion prowess, it’s their command of the world’s best beauty products. Backstage each season and on set throughout the year, they road test a mind-boggling assortment of mascaras, foundations, hairsprays, and more. Between having their hair teased within an inch of its life, their makeup applied and reapplied a dozen times in a day, and their skin pushed to its absolute limits, it’s safe to say they’ve figured out which are the most gentle, effective, and transformative formulas on the market. From the world’s sexiest (and most healing) lip balm to the original French pharmacy face cream, here are ten beauty products you can find in almost every model’s medicine cabinet.

1.
Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micelle Solution
Spotted in the makeup bags of Malgosia Bela and Anais Mali, Bioderma’s scentless cleansing water is quite possibly the world’s gentlest (and most effective) makeup remover.
2.
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré
The French pharmacy moisturizer and Fashion Week staple creates a perfect, dewy, fresh-from-the-facialist glow, retaining theskin’s moisture, without leaving a trace of grease.
