Magazine Preview | Nadia Bester Interview

Here is a little preview of our interview with Australian model Nadia Bester. She is signed with Neon Model Management and has over 14 thousand Instagram followers. She also has a successful Tumblr blog and Youtube channel and is only eighteen!

What has been one of your personal favourite photo shoots?

That would have to be my first ever shoot. It was on an old boat with my boyfriend at the time. It’s the shoot that got me where I am today. 

Where do you get the inspiration for your photo shoots?

Majority of what I do is simply to match my feed, however I do it in a way that is fresh, new and different than from what others are used to. The latest images I've been posting were all ideas invented by the photographer. The images are part of her new portfolio. @kasiasykus is her handle!

What's your most worn clothing item at the moment?

To be honest it’s a pair of shorts and a plain white t-shirt that I bought from Kmart.... it added up to cost me $13.50. I pair it with my Alias Mae suede lace up sandals!!!

The Maybelline shine-free foundation stick is an excellent foundation with medium coverage. Paired with our amazing beauty blender sponge it gives a beautiful airbrushed look.

Sephora White Eyeliner
This white kohl pencil is super pigmented and longlasting. It's great for putting in your inner corners to brighten up your eyes and it's creamy consistency means it glides on smoothly, especially along your lower lash line.

This shimmer powder from Sportsgirl is great for highlighting the contours of your face for a pretty glow. Use this compact powder to highlight your cheekbones, inner corner of the eyes and the cupid's bow.

Kit: Makeup Brush Cleaner
This brush cleaner from Kit: is so simple and effective. You simply spray it on the brush fibres and gently wipe the brush onto a tissue until clean. The strong smell of the cleaner soon evaporates leaving your brushes soft and revitalised.
