Isabeli Fontana

I was a tomboy growing up. Even after I started modeling at thirteen, I didn't learn how to do my makeup.

The fashion industry, like others, is constantly changing.

I like a shoot when I feel strong and sexy, a little hard, with a darker edge. That's what I do best. I like giving a photographer what they want, working with the art director. And modeling is all I've ever known.

I grew up as a tomboy. I hated posing and things like that.

Brazilians love to seduce, to have fun, to dance, to charm. We like a little bit of attention.

In Brazil, no matter your shape, you're comfortable walking around in a bikini. You feel good in your body. We know you're never going to be perfect. If you get caught up in worrying about this and that, you're going to spend all your life working on these little spots.

I try to eat right. Every three hours, small portions. It helps to keep you fit.

I'm Latin, and my family is originally from Italy, so we're a loud group. There's always a lot of food, a lot of talking, a lot of fighting.

It's always nice to be home and be able to see my family. It's the best feeling.

Being on an airplane a lot can dry out your skin, so it's important to bring a good mask to help refresh it. Also, I never go without SPF. It's one of the most important things to include in your daily beauty routine, no matter where you are in the world.

I do the functional stuff. I go to the gym and do all these things by myself. I don't have a routine. I like to do new stuff all the times.

It's a tough world. One moment, you're the hottest thing; there aren't enough hours in the day - you can barely catch your breath. The next moment, it's all about how many Instagram followers you have.
