Nefertiti Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Lauder face and model Hilary Rhoda is much more than just a pretty face. During a group interview to promote Tom Pecheux’s new Pure Color innovations, she reveals herself to be articulate, engaging, warm, witty – and mighty disciplined about what she does for a living.First and foremost, though, she is totally complimentary about Pecheux. “I started working with Tom a few years ago when I started modelling,” she explains. “It is so nice that he is now here at Lauder and a familiar face to work with. Tom is so sweet and so easy to get along with. He is really talented and brings a whole new dimension to the Estée Lauder brand.” Rhoda is equally enthusiastic about the new Pure Color products. “I just love the eye shadows,” she gushes. “The Palette is so rich with those shades of blue and grey and black; they really add depth and make the eyes pop. There’s a coral lip gloss I’ll be using a lot this summer too, I’m sure.” Rhoda is generous enough to share a few insider beauty tips. “Pro make-up artists have shown me how to contour my cheekbones with highlighter,” she reveals, “and there’s a great trick Tom does with eye shadow. He starts with light colours then takes it darker at the outside to make the eye look really big.” And her best bit of advice for mere mortals not blessed with supermodel looks? “I think that moisturising is really important, especially for young girls.” She laughs: “That’s what I my mom taught me, and starting young is really important in order to keep looking young.” The must-have make-up products Rhoda says she can’t do without are Lauder’s vibrating TurboLash mascara, and one of the new Pure Color glosses in shade Nude Rose. “Mascara and gloss is pretty much all I wear during the day,” she shrugs. “For evenings I take it up a notch with Double Wear foundation and make my eyes a little darker.” When asked what would be her three desert island essentials, she shoots back with a grin: “Well, I wouldn’t need bronzer, that’s for sure. I’d take a moisturiser with SPF, killing two birds with one stone. And Re-Nutriv Body Crème.” Rhoda claims she is restrained when it comes to shopping, splashing out on classic, timeless pieces that can be worn season after season, such as the Lanvin outfit she is wearing for the interview. But – travel retail take note – she is rarely tempted to shop at airports or inflight. “There are some good shops at airports, and I browse but never buy,” she replies apologetically. “I’m such a light packer to begin with, that anything extra is a no, as I try to stay as light as possible.” In addition to being a global face for Estée Lauder, Rhoda is still a firm runway favourite, following her big break during the Paris Spring/Summer 2006 shows, when she was personally cast by Balenciaga’s Nicolas Ghesquière to walk in his show. But Rhoda remembers how tough it was when she first started out in modelling – and how the support and belief of her mother helped her stay positive. “My mom was always there for me,” she declares. “She’s my manager now and still travels with me a lot. When I first started modelling, there was a lot of rejection. When I first did castings for the shows in New York it was no, no, no everywhere; then more nos for Milan; but then finally in Paris I did Balenciaga and everything went from there. “So it was hard at first but I didn’t let the rejections get me down and my mom was a big part of that, helping me stay positive and determined. Eventually things happen and you just have to remember that if one person doesn’t like the way you look, sooner or later another person will.” Now, of course, everyone seems to love the way Rhoda looks – and she freely admits she is disciplined about staying in shape. “I work out every day,” she acknowledges. “I have a trainer or do a class, and even when I travel I try to work out in hotel gyms. I do spin, I run in Central Park around the reservoir, and I make sure I eat well too.” She adds: “But I was always active growing up; I did a lot of sport when I was younger, so exercise is natural to me and something I enjoy doing.” Rhoda also appears to be vice-free in beauty terms. “I’m pretty good about wearing sunscreen…and at the end of the day I always take off my make-up too,” she grins. “But of course I haven’t always looked like this. When I was younger I wore braces for a long time, and in school I was always one of the tallest, with huge feet. None of the boys caught up in height until they were 14 or 15!” In terms of role models, Rhoda cites Cyndi Crawford and Christy Turlington as her inspiration. “Christy actually works out in my gym and still looks amazing,” she notes. “Both of them have been around for so long and are still doing these amazing ad campaigns. They have had such great careers and that’s what I would like too.” Rhoda declares herself happily settled in New York (she grew up in Maryland), and although well travelled she has yet to tick off Australia and the Maldives from her list of countries to visit. The interview concludes on a somewhat giggly, girly note, when Rhoda is asked who she would like to look like if she were a man. “I think [the British actor] Clive Owen is a pretty good-looking guy – I like that rugged look.,” she replies. And her secret celebrity crush? “Clive Owen again!” she laughs. “Probably because I just saw him in the film The Boys Are Back and he was amazing in it.” Quote
