Beauty Tips from a Sports Illustrated Cover Girl

Written by Lauren Mellor on Fri Feb 09 2024

Hey there, lovely ladies! It's your favorite Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, Lauren Mellor, here to spill all the tea on beauty tips that'll have you feeling flirty, fun, and provocative. So sit back, relax, and get ready to channel your inner bombshell.

Skin Deep Beauty

Let's start with the foundation of it all - our skin! As models who spend a lot of time under harsh lights and in various weather conditions (hello beach shoots!), taking care of our skin is an absolute must. Here are some tried-and-true skincare tips for that coveted SI glow:

Hydration Station

Water is your best friend when it comes to achieving radiant skin. Start each day with a big glass of H2O – trust me; it works wonders!

Sunscreen Siren

Sun protection should be non-negotiable for every woman out there. Always slather on sunscreen before heading out into those glorious rays – no excuses!

Moisturize Like There's No Tomorrow

Moisturizing isn't just about making your skin feel soft; it also helps maintain its elasticity and youthfulness. Find a moisturizer that suits your skin type and make sure you're applying it religiously.

Makeup Magic

Now let's move onto makeup because sometimes we need a little extra oomph to enhance our natural beauty.

Perfect Base Potion

Before applying any makeup products like foundation or concealer (if needed), always prep your face with primer first! This magical potion will smooth out imperfections while ensuring everything stays put throughout the day.

Luscious Lips

Want plump-looking lips without going under the needle? I've got you covered! Exfoliate them gently using a mix of sugar and honey once in awhile followed by hydrating lip balm application daily – voila!

Sultry Eyes

They say eyes are windows to one’s soul… and I say, let's make them pop! Use a good quality mascara to lengthen those lashes and create that sultry gaze. And don't forget the power of a well-defined brow – it frames your face like nothing else!

Hair Flair

Let's not forget about our crowning glory - our hair! Whether you're rocking luscious locks or prefer to keep it short and sassy, here are some hair care tips for all my fellow bombshells out there:

Show Your Locks Some Love

Invest in high-quality shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair type. Trust me; this makes all the difference in maintaining healthy, shiny tresses.

Heat Styling Savvy

We love experimenting with different hairstyles but remember to protect your precious strands from excessive heat damage by using a heat protectant spray before grabbing those hot styling tools.

Embrace Natural Beauty

Embracing your natural texture is so important! Letting those curls bounce freely or embracing beachy waves can be just as stunning as perfectly straightened locks. Embrace what you've got, babe!

Confidence is Key

Now ladies, listen up because this part is crucial - confidence is key when it comes to feeling beautiful inside out. Remember that true beauty radiates from within; no amount of makeup or skincare routine will replace self-love and acceptance.

So stand tall, embrace every curve (or lack thereof), flaunt what mama gave you with pride because YOU are the true masterpiece here!

That's all for today's beauty chat session! I hope these tips help unleash the confident bombshell within each one of you. Until next time lovelies,

XoXo, Lauren Mellor
