10 Beauty Hacks Models Swear By
Ever wondered how models manage to look flawless off the runway too?
Spoiler: It’s not just makeup or expensive facials.
It’s a mix of smart habits, weird tricks, and time-tested hacks they swear by.
Here are 10 beauty secrets models actually use — and how you can steal them for free (or cheap).
1. 🧊 Ice Water Dunk to Shrink Pores
Before a shoot or glam session, many models dunk their face in ice-cold water for 15–30 seconds.
✅ It tightens pores, reduces puffiness, and gives an instant glow.
Used by: Kate Moss, Bella Hadid
2. ✨ Vaseline on Eyelashes Before Bed
Models often apply a tiny bit of Vaseline to their lashes at night.
✅ Result: Thicker, glossier, healthier lashes — without mascara.
3. 🍵 Green Tea on the Face
Soak green tea bags in cold water and place them under your eyes for 10 minutes.
✅ Reduces dark circles and calms puffy eyes.
Bonus: The antioxidants give skin a nice reset.
4. 🧴 Mix Highlighter with Moisturizer
Want that lit-from-within glow?
Models mix liquid highlighter with moisturizer and apply it under foundation.
✅ Natural radiance with zero cakey makeup.
5. 🥄 Chilled Spoon to De-Puff Eyes
Keep two metal spoons in your freezer.
In the morning, press them over your under-eyes for a few seconds.
✅ Instantly tightens and brightens tired eyes.
6. 💦 Hydration > Makeup
Models often drink a litre of water before sitting in the makeup chair.
Why? Because hydrated skin = better base = less makeup needed.
7. 🥑 Face Masks You Can Eat
DIY masks with honey, avocado, yogurt, or oatmeal are model favorites — they’re gentle, natural, and effective.
✅ No chemicals. Just glowy skin from the kitchen.
8. 👃 Petroleum Jelly as Highlighter
Forget expensive glow sticks.
A dab of Vaseline on cheekbones, eyelids, or lips = instant glass-skin finish.
9. 💤 Silk Pillowcases for Skin & Hair
Models travel with silk pillowcases to reduce breakouts, frizz, and sleep wrinkles.
Regular cotton soaks up moisture — silk keeps it where it belongs: your face.
10. 📵 No Phone on Face
One underrated hack: they never press their phone to their cheek while talking.
✅ Avoids bacteria transfer = fewer breakouts.
💬 Bonus Tip:
Many models say this is the real beauty secret:
“Less is more. Let your skin breathe.”
