Models spend countless hours in the makeup chair, becoming experts on the best products out there. See what lotions and potions they think live up to their promises and price tags as they share favorite picks with Modelinia.
Julie Henderson
“One of my favorite moisturizers is from Chanel, the Chanel Beaute Initiale. It has sunscreen in it, which is very important. I put it on every morning and night, and it actually smells pretty nice!
For my eyes I use two different things because I’m trying to not get wrinkles when I’m older and I’m trying to control that as much as possible. In the morning I use Kiehl’s. It helps with puffiness or dark circles. I just discovered Meaningful Beauty by Cindy Crawford. After I wash my face I put it on.”

“For hair, I use this product called palm tree oil. It’s a bit thick, you wear it before you wash your hair. My hair gets very dry. I also use Doux me, it’s a very small French brand. It was the first to have organic certification, and you keep it in the fridge because it needs to be conserved at a good temperature. Once in a while I’ll use a basic mask that comes from mud, that’s very important.”
Masha Novoselova
“For my eyes I use La Prairie, and Shiseido—I think it’s the best cream, actually. SK-II mask I use when I travel a lot. Normally I just do it in the evening when I arrive from the airplane. It really makes you feel fresh and hydrated. We have to sleep a lot! There’s this brand in London called Neal’s Yard Remedies. They’re 100-percent organic. That’s the most organic thing I’ve used so far!”
Dree Hemingway
“My must-haves are the Kiehl’s face cream. It’s my favorite. Also I just bought the new Givenchy mascara, which I’m really excited about because it has this very cool ball on the end that makes all glorious things happen with your lashes. And concealer. My favorite is the Shisheido line. I’ve had it almost for a year and it’s still lasting, so it’s worth every penny.”
Lisa Cant
“I try not to scrub my face too much. I try to mostly clean it in the shower with a light cleanser, like the Shiseido one is very gentle. I have sensitive skin, so this takes away everything without making it look like you scrubbed and scrubbed. My favorite cream is this one from Whole Foods called Egyptian Magic—I get very dry skin and this keeps it perfect. I always carry Clinique Almost 
Makeup—I dot it on and it takes away the redness that I get. I love Fresh Eye Shadow Trio and I always put that on my eyes every day. I use mascara every day, no matter what. I like CoverGirl Lash Blast. It’s from the drugstore, but it works really well.”
Alessandra Ambrosio
“An eyelash curler—especially for those of us traveling around. If I have a good curl I look less tired. And I’m addicted to Victoria’s Secret lip gloss called Intimate. And Heidi just came out with a lip gloss called Heidi that’s the perfect shade of pink!”
