“In my private life, I almost always go without make-up,” reveals Rebecca Mir and explains why her grandmother is her greatest beauty role model.
As a model and presenter, Rebecca Mir (31) is used to styling herself. In her private life, the 31-year-old “goes almost exclusively without make-up,” as she said on the sidelines of the first L’Oréal Paris shopping event. As part of the Amazon Prime Big Deals (October 10th-11th), Mir will moderate a one-hour stream from the beauty brand in which experts will explain, among other things, skin and hair care – with useful tips for everyday life.
When it comes to beauty, the mother of one son currently relies on “lots of sleep”. The presenter and her husband, “Let’s Dance” professional Massimo Sinató (42), have been married since 2015. Their son was born in April 2021.
Dear Rebecca, how do you manage to always look so perfect?
Rebecca Mir: It’s relatively easy to always look well-styled at work because I always have the luxury of working with professional make-up and hair artists. Accordingly, at least professionally, I don’t have to do that much. When I’m at home, I take it easy and relaxed, so I don’t have to look perfect. I think that’s a good thing too.
How much time do you invest in your appearance?
Rebecca Mir: When I’m at home, everything has to be relatively quick and practical, especially when I’m traveling with the family, with my son or my dog. I would say I don’t need more than five minutes to look good. However, if I go to work or to a red carpet, it can take one to two hours – my hair in particular takes a lot of time because I have a lot of thick hair.
Do you always leave the house with make-up on in your private life?
Rebecca Mir: In my private life, I almost always go without make-up and let my skin breathe. When I do, I tend to wear subtle make-up because I’ve always been very glamorous at work. I just like the balance.
When do you feel most beautiful?
Rebecca Mir: I think when I’m on vacation, in the sun, on the beach with my family. When I’m completely relaxed.
What beauty trends do you swear by?
Rebecca Mir: The best beauty tip is probably a lot of sleep, which as a mom I don’t really get right now. When it comes to skin care, I would definitely pay attention to sun protection, always very important: in summer and winter! Many people neglect this in winter. When it comes to your hair, it is of course also important to have a good conditioner and a good treatment. I also love applying a leave-in conditioner to my hair afterwards, for example from L’Oréal Paris.
What beauty trend are you loving right now?
Rebecca Mir: I think it’s just become a trend that people are really thinking more about which products suit them, what the right order is and what they should use and when. I think that’s really good because I’ve learned a lot for myself too.
Do you have a beauty role model?
Rebecca Mir: My beauty role model is definitely my grandma because she always has style and class.
What was the nicest compliment you’ve ever received?
Rebecca Mir: I think the best compliments I received weren’t about the outside at all, but rather about the inner values. When you have laughed together or when you have had a good time together and the other person expresses how good that feels. That’s the most beautiful thing you can hear.
What are you doing for your inner beauty?
Rebecca Mir: For your inner beauty, you should of course eat as healthily as possible. I try that too… I don’t always necessarily succeed, but I do my best.
