WHILE we weren't all fortunate enough to be born Brazilian, these lifestyle tips give us some insight into what it's really like.

The new face of Maybelline explains why Brazilians do it better and where she finds a slice of home in New York.

What I learnt from my mother… 

“I was always told to drink lots of coconut water! Coconuts are a very important part of the culture where I’m from on the Brazilian coast.”

 The beauty secret I imported from Brazil is…

“Putting iced coconut water in cotton pads and applying it to your face for five minutes is a really great way to hydrate your skin.” 

My favourite food is…

“Nothing compares to Brazilian food – it’s my absolute favourite!”

Where I eat in New York… 

“Churrascaria Plataforma has great Brazilian food, and I also love Nobu for Japanese food.”

Where I would take my next holiday… 

“I am so grateful to have the opportunity to travel all around the world for my career. These days, if I’m travelling by choice, I always go home to Brazil.”

The difference between New York and Bahia is…

“When I’m in New York, I miss Brazil’s music, the exotic food, and of course my family. In New York, convenience is everything – you can get anything you could possibly need 24 hours a day. That’s definitely not the case in Bahia!”

I’m listening to…

“Brazilian music; bossa nova is my favourite genre, but I also love Beyoncé and Jay-Z.”
