What was the biggest cosmetic disaster you've experienced?"At the beginning of my career, during a photoshoot, they piled on so much makeup that all my pores got clogged, and my face was covered in terrible acne."

Is there a cosmetic surgery or treatment you really want to do but don't have the courage?"If I really wanted to do it, I would have already done it."

If you could splurge, would you choose a branded bag or branded shoes?"I'd prefer a bag; you use it more, and it lasts longer."

Makeup in five minutes: what's your routine?"Concealer, tint, and eyebrow pencil."

Who does your eyebrows, and do you touch them up before seeing them?"My eyebrows are so light that I don’t mess with them too much. I clean them up myself every few months."

Cosmetic procedures/Botox - are you into it, or not there yet?"I haven’t done it before, but I’m all for doing whatever makes you feel good."

Three beauty products that are a must for you?"Vichy's Liftactiv Day Cream, Vichy's Mineral 89, and sunscreen."

A winning haircare tip?"It’s important to match your shampoo and mask to your hair type. I use JUL's REPAIR series, which is a restorative line for hair, along with vitamin capsules and a treatment for colored hair."

Your favorite store to shop at abroad?"Zara Home - I always end up coming back with a set of plates or cutlery."

Favorite Israeli brand?"The JUL haircare brand is Israeli-developed and manufactured! It’s a flagship brand by Gideon Cosmetics, which imports haircare products. JUL was specially developed for the Israeli climate and audience. And, of course, Bonita de Mas for lingerie and swimwear—there’s nothing like Israeli-made products!"

Nails - long or can't stand the trend?"Long, long until they break."

What's your beauty sin? What do you neglect and regret?"None anymore, but I used to sometimes fall asleep with my makeup on - a big no-no."
