Coco Rocha Doesn’t Get Why Other Models Don’t Wear Makeup

The way we usually tell a “real” model from a “wannabe” model is by how much makeup they’re wearing. A “real” model is usually bare-faced, bags and all, and no less stunning (if somewhat eerie looking) for it. A “wannabe” model (a.k.a., most 14-year-old girls with access to an unnecessary amount of makeup) will have eyeliner, mascara, blush, glitter, the whole shebang! It was a foolproof system. Until Coco Rocha came along and ruined it.

As Rocha told Into The Gloss:

It’s funny when I see other models that I’ve worked with on the street and they say, surprised, ‘Were you working? Why do you have makeup on?’ almost like, ‘Why would a girl ever wear makeup?’ And I don’t understand, because every other girl does, at least something, but models don’t wear anything. I mean, they will not even wear cover-up. I just don’t understand because you learn everything… you learn all the tricks of the trade, why not use it on yourself?

This is a valid point! We love makeup! And though we don’t have to spend all day having it slathered on and off us, we love using whatever tricks of the trade we’ve managed to shmooze out of the people we interview.

Anyway, the main point of this is: you can’t judge a model by her makeup. The end.
