Niamh Kavanagh Model- Interview
After becoming an amazing model and following her dreams, a new mom and an all round fabulous lady, you have to read this interview I did with model Niamh Kavanagh....
W
hen did you start modelling?
I started modelling just after my 15th birthday
Did you always want to model?
My whole life I wanted to model, there's pictures of me posing in my wellies at 4!
How do you build the confidence and self esteem in yourself to do that?
You don't, you just grow a thicker skin. I never thought 'omg I'm a model now I'm so beautiful' I've always said to people if modelling does anything to you, it rips your confidence into shreds. You're constantly being judged and told you're not good enough, you're not skinny enough, you're not tall enough you're too tall etc.. But in the end you just get on with it and tell yourself your unique. There isn't one person in the word who is me. My qualities, my looks, my personality. That's all me
You’ve recently had a beautiful baby girl Mia, how do you juggle motherhood and all its demands while building a career?
I started back to work just when she was 2 months, it's hard and demanding but it's all for her. I'm only part time. I have my first shoot since my baby in December so I need to tone back up. It's crazy how much your body changes and that can dent your confidence but when I look at her she's just all worth it. I'm back to my pre baby weight so I'm happy enough and I have a beautiful healthy daughter so life is good
What is your beauty regimen?
I constantly get facials. They keep my skin amazing and healthy. I always make sure to remove every single bit of makeup at night too and I exfoliate weekly.
What is your favourite beauty product right now?
Dermalogica eye cream. It keeps the tired baggy eyes at bay!
What are you’re 5 fashion staples?
Chunky necklaces
Brown suede winter ankle boots
kaki structured coats
Fur scarfs
And anything black. I love my black (I'm not a goth) but it keeps everything looking smaller than it actually is!
Who first signed you as a model?
Rebecca De Havalland
How many agencies have you been with?
2
Who right now is your favourite designer?
Balmain, sooo amazing
What is a top beauty product for you that you’ve been using?
Glam glow face mask
Why do you love It?
My skin is like silk afterwards and I'm a germ freak! I feel like every spot is gone after I use it, it leaves your skin fabulously clean
Who does your hair? Because it is simply AMAZING
I'm so bad with my hair! I haven't even got in trimmed in about 3 years! I just trust noone.. I don't believe it hair dye and I smother it in conditioner to keep it extra healthy and shiny. I hate the idea of roots and unnecessary damage
How do you keep it so healthy?
Hair masks and brushing my conditioner through in every shower
Any up and coming projects you’d like to talk about?
Everything is pretty quiet at the moment and I'm in no hurry to be honest, I just want to embrace every single moment being a mother. The days go by so quickly!
What are your future goals?
To be the best mother I can, and to be the face of a huge campaign! (A girl can dream eh!)
