MOST EMBARRASSING MODEL MOMENT: My stiletto coming off on the runway for a very big designers show.... won’t say who but they know who they are!!!!

I LOVE MODELING BECAUSE: Modeling is something that just happened for me, I didn't set out to be a model. I was scouted when I was 15 and it just went from there. I have always loved fashion and knew that something in it was always going to be a career possibility for me, so what better way than modeling to get contacts and get a feel for the industry! Modeling has given me the opportunity to make great friends, wear beautiful creations, meet such interesting and talented people, to see the world and of course not work conventional hours!

How do you stay in shape? (Aoife, 17, Mayo) I not very disciplined about exercising religiously, I hate the gym. I find it really boring and monotonous. I do love walking; I try to walk 3 times a week. I especially enjoy going for hill walks in the countryside. I do that most weekends. I also practice yoga every week. I find it really beneficial for calming my mind down and strengthening my core area.

How do I get my makeup to stay all day long without smearing? (Gemma, 15, Enniscorthy)

I'm not a massive makeup wearer when I'm not working to be quite honest, however when working on shoots etc the makeup artists tell me that a good primer is really effective for long lasting coverage. Laura Mercier do a great one that you put on before your base.

Which products do you use to keep your face clear? (Rachel, 14, Tullamore)

I don't have a particular product that I use, I'm always rushing or trying new products all the time. I would recommend drinking plenty of water-about 6-8 glasses a day minimum. Also eating lots of fresh fruit and veg is a must to flush out any toxins that may be giving you spots etc.

Models' skin always looks so soft and clear. My skin is rough, and lotion just doesn't seem to help. How do I get my skin to have such a healthy glow? (Sinéaid, 17, Listowel)

Well, what you see in magazines is never a true reflection of the models skin in reality. Lots of the time Ad campaigns and editorials are airbrushed giving the illusion of flawlessness, lighting and a great makeup team also are imperative for the overall look. However having said that models entire career is based on their appearance- they must be a blank canvas for the "artist" to work on. Looking after your skin is imperative and a must in this business. I would recommend exfloliating 3 times a week, if you don't have a good exfoliator or don't want to the spend money, use a wet warm face cloth and gently scrub it over your face. It should get rid of any gunk from daily debris. Then use an alcohol free toner to close your pores and finish with a light moisturiser.

Spotlight On...Rosanna Davison

So I'm sure we all know the basics about Ms. D (and then some) but for those who don't, here goes;

Born in Dublin on the 17th of April 1984, Miss Davison is a highly successful print model based in Ireland. Not only did she hold the Title of Miss World in 2003 but she will always hold the (sometimes dreaded) moniker of Socialite, as she is the daughter of the highly successful singer/songwriter Chris DeBurgh.

Not content with just being a pretty face or well known-name Rosanna went ahead with her education and in 2006 she graduated from University College Dublin with B.A. in Sociology and Art History. The following year she finished up at the Fitzwilliam Institute with a Diploma in Event Managing.

Rosanna has done endless promotional photo calls and was at one time the Face of Holiday on Ice as well as campaigns for Rally England and Newbridge Silverware. She is managed by Storm in the UK and the great Assets of Dublin. Shes has over 17 television appearances as herself for both interview and presenting duties such as Xpose, Podge and Rodge and an upcoming series for RTE entitled 'Who Do You Think You Are'. Rumors have also swirled that she recently finished filming the lead in the Indie Irish Film 'Vena', directed by Kevin Abosch, though the project is yet to appear on eithers Internet Movie Database profile.

In November of 2008 Rosanna released a fitness DVD so we may all strive for her enviable figure. She is actively involved multiple charities and a paparazzi favourite.

So that was the boring stuff...Rosanna is a tabloid dream! Every where she goes she is pap'd (whether she calls them and tells them where she will be or not ;) Of late her love life has been more of a nightmare though, even with her well maintained dignified silence. She hasn't had much to say about her rift with former boyfriend Wesley Quirke (the wes half of her Brangelina like nickname Wesanna) other than they "need time a part" and the oft used "space" Good look getting space from an ex and a past relationship when every time you have a night out or a chat with a different fella a journo writes an article about 'what this might mean' the next morning.

Rosanna is safe, which apparently is what the world wants in a beauty queen judging by the recent fire storm in America over a pageant contestants answer to a question about same sex marriage. We will never see Roz falling out of a night club, showing too much skin or probably ever truthfully speaking her mind ( a la the late great Katy French).

Additionally, her fashion choices are always safe -whatever is the current trend she will wear but she is not one for setting trends herself. You can't blame her though. She is a beautiful and bright girl but for some women, a sense of style (or even basic fashion sense) evade them. Her recent outing to Peter Homan's art exhibit Rosanna tried to step away from the "over-glam-barbie doll -pageant girl of Dublin models look" for something a bit edgier and more chic, but she totally missed the mark. We applaud her for taking a chance and stepping outside her clothing-comfort zone but come 'Anna, less is more. Over styled, over accessorized and still overly made up, Rosanna looked more like she jumped head first into a TopShop Half Off bargain bin than a fashion forward young lady.

Love the shoes, but not with the hue of that coat. Love the bag but not with the printed hat and shirt. She nailed it with the smaller the details (i.e. the shades, the bangles) but they are lost in translation with everything else that is going on =Trend Overload! The oxford styled shoe, the skinny shiny-pant, the fitted jacket, the hat, WHOA! Calm down girl! There are people taking your pic everyday, spread it out!

Look below to see Rosanna at her 'I'm going to Krytstle but I look like I'm going to a grown up Debs' Best in a few sots below and Rosie, if you're reading, keep at everything you are doing you are a totally fab lady and such a role model just maybe, pick up a copy of InStyle once in a while?
