Filipino-American model Kelsey Merritt is having a moment.
After walking the runway for Victoria’s Secret last week, Merritt was featured yesterday on the official Vogue website where she showed off her beauty routine in a video.
Merritt’s beauty routine consists of using coconut oil to moisturize her skin and aloe vera to take care of her hair. And get this — she grows her own aloe vera in a plant pot.
She shared that she likes using a foundation that’s darker than her natural skin color because she likes to appear tanned. Merritt also had a tip for ladies who have no idea how to apply mascara.
She said: “[Just] wiggle at the bottom and then drag [the wand] up.”
She makes it sound so easy.
In the video, she also talked about her journey as a model and what a big deal it was for many Filipinos.
She said: “It means a lot to me and the people back home because they love Victoria’s Secret so much. And they’ve always wanted a Philippine model to walk. It’s not just success for me — it’s also success for them.”
Watch her entire video below:
Merritt is in good company. Other celebrities who have shown off their beauty routine on Vogue include Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
And Merritt just added another achievement — she now has 1 million followers on Instagram.
Here’s a screenshot that she shared on her Instagram Stories right before she hit 1 million.
Many rejoiced with Merritt.
Writing on her Instagram post of her Vogue video, one fan said that everyone (like, all Filipinos) are proud of Merritt.
Someone said she’s obsessed with her.
Another can’t get over that Merritt was featured on Vogue.
Someone told her what so many others have said — that she’s so pretty.
As of this writing, Merritt’s Vogue feature was the second most shared page on the website.
