Especially when everyone is saying there's a look for the season, try it out and see if it really looks good on you and be good at it before you go out there wearing it.”

"My beauty tip is bronzer. Regardless of whether you're light-skinned or dark-skinned, wear bronzer. Put it on the periphery of the face, the décolletage, and the cheeks. It always makes you look like you just came from Ibiza! As for my fitness tip: Corsets!" said Zara Mohamed Abdulmajid, also known as Iman, a Somali-American fashion model, actress and entrepreneur.

I don't think it's very becoming for a woman to have a body like a man's, which is super cut. I prefer to be a little more on the softer side, so I just keep it light with a lot of walking, yoga, and an occasional jog. But even that's a lot of work!"
