INSIDE HER BEAUTY KIT

True to her fierce nature, Lima once said, “I won’t cry for you. My mascara is too expensive.”

Fortunately, she jokes, that’s no longer a concern thanks to Volum’ Express Colossal Waterproof Mascara. A few sweeps of the mega brush makes all the difference. 9x the difference in volume actually. Plus, rain, shine, sweat or tears have no effect on those stunning lashes.

And good thing too. Because according to Lima, “Modeling is a tough job.” Still, she’s learned a lot of tricks of the trade just by being on set and chatting with makeup artists.

Here are the other products Lima can’t live without:

Color Sensational Lip Color in Neon Red is her go-to lip look. The honey nectar formula and sensuous finish give any woman a perfect pout.

“I love red lipstick,” Lima says. “It can completely change your look so I always carry one with me.” Sometimes, she confesses, she dabs a bit of it on her cheeks for a naturally-tinted glow.

Next, she gushes about Great Lash Mascara — Maybelline’s most recognizable product. The pink and green tube was, Lima confesses, her first makeup purchase as a teen.

“I always love bold lashes and a good mascara,” she says. “So I’m really excited that look defining lashes are an upcoming trend for fall.”

Perhaps it’s the nature of her job, or the essence of her Brazilian roots, but Adriana Lima prefers relaxed, comfortable clothing and makeup for any occasion. She explains:

“Evening makeup usually means applying more, but I always feel more comfortable in less.”

Finally, Lima rifles through her makeup bag to show us the key to her confidence — good skin. Her favorite product? Maybelline’s Dream Velvet Foundation. The refreshing, gel-whipped formula makes for enviable skin-perfection.

“It keeps my skin hydrated all day. So when I’m on a shoot, or at a show, or doing a press event, I can focus on what really matters — and let Maybelline do the rest.”
