Australian model Jessica Hart has walked in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show (somewhat controversially), appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and has worked with a long list of brands during her decade-long career, including Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana and Max Mara. Known for her gap-tooth smile, Hart is currently focused on her beauty venture, Luma, a growing range of skin care products and makeup. We caught up with the Aussie beauty and asked her our quickfire questions
- The first thing I do in the morning is… think, “Where am I?” Well, I did this morning. I’m in Cabo. Second thought is “coffee,” then I go through my phone, email and texts before I can get out of bed.
- The last thing I googled was… something about continuity bloopers in movies.
- If my days had one extra hour… I’d read more.
- The best (surprising) beauty advice I ever received was… wash my face less. Too many soapy products strip your skin’s natural oils AND let my skin breathe from any products at all every once in a while. Constantly moisturizing stops our body from producing our own natural oils, too.
- My desert island beauty product is… my LUMA beach body oil and sunscreen.
- When I hear that girls/women are down on themselves because they can’t live up to the image models project… I would ask them to look inside. Happiness is found on the inside, which coincidentally, is where beauty lives.
- When I’m stressed… I stop. Take a breath. Hang out with Floyd @theadventuresoffloyd.
- When my self-confidence has taken a hit… I try to look at why my ego is holding onto that belief of myself and remind myself it doesn’t matter.
- My guilty pleasure is… junk food.
- My most memorable career highlight was… shooting my first Vogue cover for Australian Vogue. I couldn’t believe Vogue was going to put me on the cover!
- When it comes to working out… I mix it up. Try everything.
- A career achievement I’m dying to check off is… I’d love to shoot for French Vogue. I’m also dying to start a fashion line.
- If you looked at my desktop you’d see… a photo of me and my sister, Ashley Hart.
- My most memorable travel experience… might happening right now in Cabo.
- I’m dying to splurge on… supercars and hotels.
- One thing people don’t realize about the fashion industry is… that it’s nowhere near as vicious as people seem to think.
- My favorite place to shop is… Amazon.
- The best advice for looking great in a photo is… find your light and direct your chin at it.
- My most treasured possession is… my Patek Philippe watch is up there.
- My biggest fashion regret is… dressing how I thought I was meant to instead of what I’m comfortable in. NYC has given me the freedom to find my true fashion sense, but you have to give everything a go to know what you feel most comfortable in.
- One thing I wish people knew about me is… I’m a true tomboy at heart.
