Model Georgia Fowler might be a three-time Victoria's Secret [1] Fashion Show model, the face of the Azzaro Wanted Girl fragrance, and the host of Project Runway New Zealand, but the 27-year-old is also down-to-earth enough to share her beauty secrets.
"Growing up in New Zealand, we didn't use too much [makeup] at a young age," Fowler said in an interview with POPSUGAR promoting Azzaro's newest fragrance. But that didn't stop the future model from experimenting with glam looks [2] like the ones she'd become familiar with after moving to New York City and becoming a model. "I got into Mom's red lipstick numerous times," she said.
However, the two locations have very different approaches to beauty. "In New Zealand, we're pretty relaxed and low-key," Fowler said. "Getting a facial or even a manicure is a luxury at home. But in New York, there's everything at your fingertips, all these crazy things that people are doing, butt facials and peels and LED lights."
Moving to the United States as a teen to pursue modelling may have been a bit of a culture shock, but it seems like the model has fully embraced the New York City approach to beauty and has become a full-on cosmetics-lover. Ahead, read about Fowler's favourite products.
How Georgia Fowler Styles Her Bob Haircut
Fowler has been wearing a bob [3] since June and has picked up some great tips for styling it. "The Bumble and Bumble Brilliantine is quite good for giving it a little messy texture without drying it out so much," she said. "I love also just using a Kérastase hair mask. I often do it when I'm travelling."

How Georgia Fowler Takes Care of Her Skin
Fowler spends a lot of her time travelling around the world, which can dry out skin. "I think it's super important to thoroughly moisturise your skin," Fowler said. "There's a CosMedix moisturiser called Rescue Plus which is great for on the plane because it's very thick and almost acts as a barrier."
She also recommends the Chanel La Solution 10, SK-II sheet masks, and Chanel under-eye masks to aid in hydration.

What Beauty Tips Georgia Fowler Learned From Victoria's Secret
From walking in three Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows, Fowler has picked up a few tips. "Use a lip liner in your natural colour so it doesn't look obvious, [and] surround the edges of your lip just to really give them some added fullness," she said.
The show also taught her how to achieve glowing skin. "I make sure I moisturise really well underneath any foundation," she said. "I'm actually trying to stay clear of anything too matte because that just ages you."
Although Victoria's Secret is rumoured to be "rethinking" its event and not televising it this year, Fowler has always loved participating in it. "It would be heartbreaking if it's not happening; we all have so much fun doing it."
