Model Moment with Cape Town Beauty Daniela Osato
A newbie in the modeling industry, well known for her natural beauty and flawless face, Daniela Osato shares some insights into the beauty routine of a working model!
1. What are the three most essential products in your daily beauty regime?
My routine is really basic and includes these three products:
a) A gentle, water-soluble cleanser, I’m currently using Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser for Normal to Combination Skin (R295 for 125ml).
b) an anti-wrinkle day cream with an SPF like Clarins Multi-Active Day Early Wrinkle Correcting Lotion with SPF15 (R590 for 50ml), and
c) MAC Face and Body Foundation (R330 for 50ml, MAC) (R330 for 50ml, MAC), which provides just the right amount of light coverage for every occasion.
2. What’s the secret to maintaining your flawless skin?
Eating healthily, drinking lots of water, and maintaining my morning beauty regime.
3. What beauty product/s are always in your handbag?
a) Lucas Pawpaw Ointment is the ultimate moisturiser for lips.
b) MAC Lipstick in Modesty (R195, MAC) for a natural lip that lasts all day.
c) Perfume. I’m always rotating being brands, but right now I’m wearing Euphoria by Calvin Klein (R1245 for 100ml).
4. How do you keep your tresses in tiptop condition?
I wash and condition regularly with Hask Monoi Oil Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner (R115.95 each, Clicks), and I always try trim my dead ends every six to eight weeks.
5. Your beauty icons?
Jennifer Lopez for her flawless skin and the way she uses the right makeup to enhance her features; and Kendal Jenner, the new face of Estee Lauder and Calvin Klein. I love her natural look and makeup style – especially when she wears winged eyeliner and loads of mascara!
6. How do you maintain balance working in the corporate world and as a model?
It’s all about time management. I get to enjoy the best of both worlds in that I love working and dealing with clients, and modeling gives me a chance to play in front of the camera and enjoy the girly side of life. I mean who can resist the allure of getting paid to have your hair and makeup done?
7. What is your secret indulgence?
Ice-cream! Especially Italian Gelato.
8. What’s your antidote to ‘ugly days’?
Going to the gym, or for a run outside. It always gets me glowing and boosts those good endorphins. Sometimes a lick of lipstick in a bright colour does the job too.
