The model shares her gotta-have beauty products.
At 22, modelAdut Akechhas already conquered the fashion world.
Theres a lot more of us now, Akech tells me via Zoom.
She radiates an effortless confidence.
Theres a lot more models of color, specifically African models and even South Sudanesemodels.
It makes me really happy to see that, and we need more [representation].
But I think fashion is on its way.
Akech tells me the industry has changed leaps and bounds since she started.
Foundationwas the biggest issue, she shares.
Her favorite bit of advice: applying products with her fingers.
I don’t really use makeup brushes, Akech says.
I do everything with my fingers.
Akech senses my skepticism (Im wary about sticking my fingers into my palettes) and she laughs heartily.
Give it a try, she urges.
Sheisa bonafide beauty expert, after all, so Im more than willing to take her advice.
