Lima is always traveling which is why she always makes sure that she eats the right things and stays away from alcohol, especially during a flight. She stays away from drinking alcohol, especially salty margaritas which can cause you to retain water and in addition, alcohol causes you to stop digesting food. “I learned that from my trainer. It’s tough for your body to digest whatever you eat if you take alcohol. Your body kind of freezes,” says the supermodel to InStyle.
She admits that she loves wearing makeup and that she’s always trying new makeup tricks she learns from makeup artists that do her makeup. “My favorite thing is applying mascara. I love mascara on the eyes. I like it to be very black, and I like when you just apply lots of layers,” she says. One of her favorite products is Maybelline Falsies, which only cost $6! This is her secret for having big lashes that make her beautiful blue eyes pop.

Lima seems very down to earth and connected to her Brazilian roots, so much that she doesn’t use fancy hair masks, instead she uses avocado. “I tend to really take care of my hair, but it’s very dry, so I do hair masks,” explains Lima. She uses her favorite conditioner and then she takes an avocado and mixes it in and rubs it in with her avocado. Then she puts on a shower cap and leaves the mixture on her hair for about 15 minutes, when she rinses it off, her hair is super shiny and hydrated!
