S

he is one of the few models who steadfastly refuse to wear makeup off the ramp.

"Don't ask me about makeup. I am so not into it!" she says.

She has an amazing sense of style and, as one industry person says, would look "sexy even in a sack."

Carol Marie Gracias is one of the country's leading models.

She was Femina Look Of The Year 1998. Since then, she has gone on to do innumerable shows both nationally and internationally.

Here's what Carol suggests for the summerÂ…

What every girl must have this summer!

1. A pair of flip-flops; they are my favourite.

2. A pair of cool shorts. You can wear a longish one to cover part of your legs if you think it looks indecent.

3. A comfortable cotton t-shirt. You could have it fitted or loose, structured or not.

4. One white ganji (vest).

Summer skin care

All you need is a good face wash. Nothing more. No makeup.

I hate wearing makeup off the shows.

This summer, stay away from makeup!

Smart tips to get dressed in five minutes

1. Get a good tinted lip balm.

2. Wear a nice mascara.

3. Slip on a pyjama and vest (I am serious!).

Oh well, if you want to be a little more dressy, wear a nice cotton shirt and a pair of loose jeans.
