This fashion icon and face of La Perla for autumn/winter 2016-2017 treads the catwalk for the biggest names in couture and ready-to-wear. AFP Relaxnews caught up with Russian model Sasha Luss to find out what fashion and beauty essentials will be slipping into her suitcase this summer, and what vacay makeup looks the season has in store.

Beachwear, casual or glamorous? What’s your go-to look on vacation?

This is very much dependent on where I am going. Glamorous and casual are both good options.

What accessories do you always take with you on vacation?

That’s simple! A La Perla hat, a pair of sunglasses, a nice scarf to cover myself up with if the sun gets too strong… But I love to use a lot of bracelets, rings, go a bit crazy with it. It’s vacation, it should be fun! And I always have golden or silver high heels with me!

What are your holiday beauty routines?

I don’t really do much on holiday with my skin however I do apply face creams that I mix with aloe vera as that is helpful for dealing with sun exposure. I drink a lot of water. The first few days I use SPF 50 and I use coconut oil as this helps to give me a nice glowing tan.

What are your favorite makeup looks for day and for night?

During the day I use a bronzer and highlighter and lip balm. But I always bring a full cosmetic case, just in case. Red lipstick (as it looks good on a tanned face), golden eye shadow and mascara when going out at night. And I put shimmering oil on my body (it makes it sexy).
