Diana Nekoye;Face of Africa finalist

My style is…

Very feminine; I have always considered myself a lady and I make sure I look the part. I prefer wearing dresses and high heels. I like carrying clutch bags and wearing my hair long.

In my bag you’d never miss…

Lip balm, eyeliner, eyebrow brush as I have very bushy eye brows. I addition I carry wet wipes and hand tissues, a small purse, daily planner and a pen and a note book, ipod, phone and a shawl.

What part of your look can’t you live without?

I am a longhaired person, I don’t like short hair and since I consider myself girly, girls always have long hair.

My worst habit is…

Wearing heels all the time, I wear heels even to school, it makes me stand out so much which can be a problem to other people.

What makes you different from other models?

I am very frugal with my shopping. I am a simple girl and I don’t buy expensive clothes. I budget but still manage to look smart.

I look up to…

Nigerian Oluchi Onweagba, not only was she a top model, she is also an established businesswoman and co-owner of O models agency in South Africa.

My daily morning routine…

I cleanse tone and moisturise with Clinique products every morning, I rarely put on make-up these days, unless I am going for photo shoots or fashion shows.

Since the competition, I have learnt…

Not to be a diehard in matching the same colour. I am learning to experiment more with different colours on my look besides being more artistic with my dressing. I am also learning to dress in flats and still look good.

What is fashionably unique about you?

I carry clutch bags most of the time instead of big bags like most ladies in town.

My fashion rule is…

To emphasise my eyes, I have small eyes so I make sure I use eye pencil to widen them and mascara to make them pop out.

My favourite fashion designer is…

John Kaveke, I have worked with him for a long time. His clothes are very creative and I like the way he mixes fabrics that you would not have thought can go together.

What look for chicks puts you off?

Wearing bare backs during the day, it looks inappropriate for chicks to walk around town with bareback tops during the day.

Style mantra?

Natural beauty is best.
