Style at every age. It’s safe to say that iconic supermodel, Violeta Zuvela, lives by this adage. The mother of five and Instagram supernova is going full throttle in 2025 with numerous new campaigns and runway shows under her belt. As we advance into the second half of the year, Zuvela reflects on the skincare and wellness practices that has made the biggest impact on her psyche; the make-up that works for her mature skin; and more.
Three make-up holy grails
First, the Urban Decay Big Bush Volumizing Tinted Brow Gel in Dark Drapes. Tinted brow gel is a must for shaping, building and keeping my brows in place. Second, the Rose Inc Satin Lip Color in Graceful. One swipe is all that is needed for it to stay on and it doesn’t dry out my lips. And last but not least, the Chantecaille Future Skin Oil-Free Gel Foundation in Nude—it is a total game changer.

A wellness practice I swear by
Getting in 15 to 20 minutes of morning sunshine. It gives me a solid dose of vitamin D and leaves me feeling both energised and alive.
My non-negotiable skincare step
Splashing water on my face in the morning—because why wash away all the benefits of last night’s skincare?
A song that gets me in the right headspace before a big job
‘Get Ready for This’ by 2 Unlimited.
Signature fragrance
The Michael Kors Eau de Parfum has been my signature scent for 25 years. I’m heartbroken it’s been discontinued, so I’m on the hunt for a new one.
A make-up look I’ve always wanted to try
That would be a bold graphic eyeliner in a striking colour, but I need a tutorial first.

A skincare tip I wish I knew about earlier
If I had started incorporating a gentle exfoliation step into my skincare regimen earlier, it would have made a noticeable difference in my skin’s appearance and health.
The hair look I am obsessed with
A middle part and a sleek, pulled-back bun. It’s elegant and perfect for my long hair.
Must-have haircare products
I can’t live without the Kerastase8-Hour Magic Night Serum, the L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Protecting Concentrated Oil which is a godsend against hair breakage, and the Ceremonia Guava Rescue Spray which acts as my go-to heat protectant and detangler.

Life-changing beauty hack
I use eye cream around my mouth to minimise fine lines—and also to give my lips a plumper look.
My beauty philosophy
Be your own kind of beautiful.
