Soraya Naomi is a contestant of the 12th season of Germany’s next Topmodel. She is now an influencer who travels all over the world and shows her followers the most beautiful places in the world. We interviewed her exclusively for you and asked her how she came to GNTM, why YouTube is important to her and, of course, her ultimate beauty and make-up tips.

Soraya Naomi: Career start with Germanys Next Topmodel

FIV: Hi first of all dear Soraya. We are happy to have the opportunity to interview you today. In 2017 you were a contestant on Germanys Next Topmodel. How did you get the idea to apply there?

Soraya: My family gave me the idea back then and encouraged me to take the step. I myself would never have expected to be allowed to take part for the first time and then to get so far.

FIV: Do your plans for the future include a modelling career or do you want to go in another direction?

Soraya: I would like to continue working as a model and be successful there. Modeling is my great passion, so I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful job for me.

FIV: Also in 2017, you uploaded your first YouTube video. How did you get started?

Soraya: I want to be close and authentic for my community. That’s why I try to share my modeling life with them as much as possible. I find YouTube to be a good channel to place the video footage of my travels and share it with my followers. Unfortunately, I have neglected my YouTube channel a bit lately, but will soon upload videos again regularly.

Tips: Skin Care & Makeup

FIV: You have several makeup videos on your YouTube channel. What are your ultimate tips that you would recommend to every girl?

• A good skin care with SPF or even a sunscreen as a base
• A BB Cream instead of a foundation

FIV: You also share skincare tips on TikTok. What are your tips for clear skin?

Soraya: Four tips for good skin:

1. Cleanse the face well every evening, but not too aggressively.
2. Use a good moisturizer.
3. Put lemon slices with salt on skin blemishes, this will dry them. But be careful and leave on the affected areas for no more than 10 minutes.
4. Drink plenty of water!

FIV: Your Instagram highlights reveal that you travel a lot. What were your highlights of 2020 despite Corona?

Soraya: My highlights were that I spent a lot of time with my family and I became more creative. I also got my vocational baccalaureate and my driver’s license this year.

FIV: You are also active on TikTok and your most watched video has almost 800,000 views. What is your recipe for success?

Soraya: I think my recipe for success is that I am who I am. I never pretend and share even the funniest moments with my followers.

FIV: What is your favorite vacation destination?

Soraya: My favourite holiday destination is Bali. I love the culture and the warm people there. It feels like home every time I am there.

FIV: What’s your favorite thing to do when you’re offline?

Soraya: When I’m offline, I love spending time with my family. There is nothing more important to me.
