MAKARI Magazine - Issue #5

I’m hoping to see continued diversity to encourage a strong voice in our models and for them to showcase the unique point of view. I believe that beauty is confidence, no matter your size, shape, height, or ethnicity. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE FROM YOUR AGENCY IN THE FUTURE? Recently I’ve noticed with the skin care campaigns casting and clients are requesting more diversity of all ages, sizes, and ethnicity. I am so very excited to see that. CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT BOOKING MODELS FOR SKINCARE CAMPAIGNS? Yes, I’ve certainly seen clients looking for models with imperfections. I am very happy that women are being represented on a more level playing ground. ARE YOU SEEING MORE CAMPAIGNS LOOKING FOR MODELS WITH SKIN IMPERFECTIONS?

I think the industry has come a long way and certainly there was a time where retouching was out of control, but recently clients in the beauty industry have become less focused on retouching and more on representing models with all skin types. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY BEING HONEST ABOUT RETOUCHING IMAGES FOR BEAUTY CAMPAIGNS?

WHAT WAS YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE AS A MODEL?

I miss my routine of very simple and natural products. I also loved fragrance free products. I would wash, tone and moisturize evening morning and evening religiously. I drank lots of water!

I continue to drink lots of water, and I am still using natural products without fragrances, but as I’m getting older I’ve begun to notice that my skin needs a little more so I have added a few more products. HOW HAS IT CHANGED SINCE?
