De 19 jarige Gigi Hadid zien we steeds opduiken en shoots en editorials. Het prachtige model begon met commerciele shoots voor Guess en Sports Illustrated maar weet intussen ook high-fashion campagnes als die van Tom Ford te strikken.
Gigi woont in New York waar ze naast haar modellen carriere Criminal Psychology studeert aan The New School.
Gigi vertelt dat ze verrast was dat Carine Roitfeld iets in de jonge Gigi zag en haar de hoofdrol in een grote editorial in CR Fashion Book gaf.
Gigi is de dochter van het Nederlandse topmodel Yolanda Foster. Ze vertelt aan één van onze favoriete sites,
Into The Gloss over hoe ze haar looks onderhoud.
Ookal staat Gigi bekend om haar sensuele shoots is ze zelf vrij laid-back; "It’s funny because in real life you’ll see me at a party in, like, boyfriend jeans and a t-shirt and heels. I’m not really one to put on a push-up bra or short shorts or tight little mini dresses, I get all of that out with work. That’s how I use up my girly-girl side; I’m not as feminine in my everyday life."
Gigi's haar routine is vrij simpel en ze heeft een aantal trucjes zodat haar kleuring er zo natuurlijk mogelijk uitziet; "I don’t wash my hair every day, which is what keeps it healthy because that way it doesn’t dry out. Being on the beach all the time gave me my original highlights, but I get some balayage highlights on top so then when it grows out you can’t tell it's been colored. It’s definitely LA, balayage. It’s a low-maintenance way to be blonde—way easier than having to go to the salon all the time. I only go every six months or so."
"I’ve always used John Frieda; their blonde stuff is really good. The Sheer Blonde Everlasting Shampoo makes my hair really soft andI use the ghd Style Smooth and Finish Serum. Also I use Wella Ocean Spritz—you spray it in and then just mess your hair up. For baby hairs, I have a face brush from Sephora that I spray with hairspray to push back anything leftover from when I pull it all into a ponytail, but I guess you could use a toothbrush. And I have my big jar of Emi-Jay Hair Ties, which is a company started by two girls I know from childhood. They’re cool because they’re colorful, so you can match them to your outfit. Oh God, I really am so California."
Ook Gigi'shuid verzorging is vrij simpel en ze heeft geen 4 aparte cremes of serums maar gebruikt gewoon haar favoriete producten op meerdere manieren:"I wash my face with the cheap stuff from CVS. (Amerikaanse drogist) Whenever I run out I just go and pick whichever one I think looks the coolest or smells good. Right now it’s the St Ives Apricot Scrub. Then I use Eucerin lotion for my body…and for my face [laughs]—that’s embarrassing. For deodorant I like the clear gel because I can’t have any whiteness when I’m working. Secret Flawless Clear deodorant has really good scents, so I use that mostly. Crest Cinnamon Toothpaste is another thing I always get at CVS; I really like it. The only product I’ll spend money on is Fresh Sugar Lemon Bath and Shower Gel. It’s my favorite thing in the world, it just smells so good."
Gigi gebruikt niet heel veel makeup waardoor ze er jong en fresh-faced uitziet, dit is haar dagelijkse beauty routine:"I start off with Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation in OC3. My mom uses it, so I just went along. I put it on with a Tarte Foundation Brush; they actually work really nice together. The Aqua Foundation is nice because it doesn’t cake and it just brightens my skin—and it’s light enough so that you can still see my freckles. If I have blemishes I use Maybelline Super Stay Concealer, which I bought it at the drugstore a few years ago. For blush, currently it’s Jouer Powder Blush in Blossom simply because I like the color. My favorite mascara is the Iconic Overcurl Diorshow in Black—the brush is bent! I use it with a Covergirl eyelash curler."
"If I’m going to an event, Charlotte Tilbury has a contouring and highlighting palette that I love, and I’ll also use the MAC Clear Waterproof Brow Brush. Sometimes I do a liquid eyeliner—Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner is nice because it has such a pointy end that it kind of makes the line for you. Then, after I do all my makeup, if it starts feeling a little dry or flat, I will use this Epicuren Protein Mist to make my skin look fresher and break it up a little bit."
