I've been sticking with a skincare routine that’s really kept my skin looking fresh and lively, even with all the stress and tiredness over the past few months. I've indulged in quite a few Mint Magnums, but the little changes I've made seem to have done the trick. Oh, and taking Vitamin D daily has…
If you've been following A Model Recommends for a while, you'll know I'm a proud founder of the Colab dry shampoo brand. It feels like just yesterday we launched it, hosting a glamorous party in East London. That day was especially emotional for me because I had just found out I was expecting Angelica the…
I've been talking a lot about the Becca Ombre Nudes palette lately, and I wanted to share why I like it so much and why it’s worth considering. There are plenty of matte, neutral-toned eye palettes out there, but the Ombre Nudes stands out because its shadows are densely pigmented yet easy to blend—not a…
There's a debate in the beauty world about whether eye creams are worthwhile. Some people think it's unnecessary to buy a separate eye cream and just use their usual face serum and moisturizer around the eyes. Others, like me, prefer having a specific product for that area.
I have two main reasons for using a distinct…
Is there anyone who procrastinates more than someone with mid-length hair wondering whether to cut or grow it? It's like being cursed! When my hair is stuck between jawline and shoulder, I constantly debate the pros and cons of going shorter—it looks so good styled—or longer—it’s easy to manage and tie back. I'm always asking…

Enter exfoliating, resurfacing face masks. They might seem a bit old-fashioned now with their AHA…
Let's chat about the BBC drama "Gold Digger" and a striking red lipstick. Odd combination, I know, but I was sidetracked while filming a makeup video. Throughout, I somehow veered into talking about Tom Hardy, morning breath, and some questionable storylines. Hang tight, we'll tackle the lipstick first. After all, the holiday season is nearing,…
I've been wanting to write about Chanel's Jumbo Longwear Lip Crayons for some time, and the arrival of what might be my perfect lipstick shade—"Discretion" from the AW18 collection—made it more pressing. This shade is simply amazing; it's a pale peachy-nude that looks creamy and full even with its matte finish.
Chanel’s Jumbo Lip Crayons are…
Using cream eyeshadow with your fingers feels incredibly satisfying, perhaps because it’s reminiscent of the playful experimentation of childhood. The small pots of color and the carefree way you dip a finger in to swipe it over your eyelid make the process feel easy and relaxed. Even though it requires similar effort to applying powder…
I might be a bit late to update my makeup for the season, but with the UK expecting a mini heatwave next week, I'm not ready to let go of summer just yet! I mean, who says we have to strictly follow the seasons? For me, autumn doesn't really start until October rolls around.
