This Is What Makes a Vogue Cover Model Feel Beautiful

Seven fashion wonders grace the cover of Vogue’s March issue—a joyful celebration of the industry’s embrace of individuality—and each model’s features project a sharply different yet equally striking sort of elegance. Here, five of those awe-inspiring women share what makes them feel most beautiful inside and out, from a post-gym glow and a perfect lip balm to the grounding influence of finding inner confidence and calm.

Ashley Graham

What makes you feel most beautiful?A post-gym glow, you can’t tell me nothin’! I hate going, love leaving!

Favorite feature?I don’t know if it’s a feature, but I love my hourglass figure. I like playing it up and using it as an accessory.

What is the one beauty product you can’t live without?Rose water! I spray it on my face morning, noon, and night—before and after makeup. I’m convinced that it’s kept my skin hydrated to the max, even in the brutal winter weather.

Liu Wen

What makes you feel most beautiful?I feel the most beautiful when I’m the most relaxed—for example, after a productive day of work or during a comfortable, rested afternoon. But I also feel great when I reunite with friends after a long time. When my inner mood is positive, I also feel great on the outside.

Favorite feature?My dimples and my eyes. Since my dimples only appear whenever I smile, facing everything in life with that smile is a wonderful feeling. Eyes are also the window to one’s self. Just a look can reflect your identity and experiences.

What is the one beauty product you can’t live without?Face masks. Because of my workload, my skin is constantly losing moisture—whenever I fly, shoot outdoors, etc. So having masks on hand at all times is a must.

Adwoa Aboah

What makes you feel most beautiful?Sexy underwear and a hot shower, because I like how fresh-faced I feel—natural and untouched.

Favorite feature?My freckles—they are random and unique. My scars, because they tell a story.

What is the one beauty product you can’t live without?Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula. Don’t do itchy dry skin…EVER!

Vittoria Ceretti

What makes you feel most beautiful?Sometimes a long, beautiful evening dress makes me feel really pretty, especially if worn with a dark red lipstick and a bit of mascara. Other times, just a comfortable pair of jeans with a simple cashmere jumper gives me the same feeling.

Favorite feature?I think my big green eyes. I love how particular the shade of green is.

What is the one beauty product you can’t live without?For sure, moisturizer! I have very dry skin, so I always have to have some facial cream with me everywhere I go, especially during the winter and while I'm traveling on planes. My skin dries out so much during these times that I have to apply it about once every two hours.

Imaan Hammam

What makes you feel the most beautiful?So much of one’s beauty originates with confidence, and often this comes with being comfortable with the person you are. Also, when I get enough sleep, because traveling can be tough.

Favorite feature?My favorite feature—I would say my eyes. I have the same eyes as my mom, which I am so grateful for. There is also the other obvious one…I bet you can guess what that is.

What is the one beauty product you can’t live without?My Elizabeth Arden lip balm. It keeps my lips hydrated.
