What I Love About Me: New York City

"I took a risk and bleached my naturally black hair four years ago. It's an eye-catching color that really gets me noticed."

"As a born and bred New Yorker, I'm always in a rush, but I never leave the house without a few swipes of mascara to bring out my almond-shaped eyes."

"Most women sport sun-kissed tans in my hometown of Bregenz, Austria, but I prefer my porcelain complexion."

"Growing up in the south of France, I learned that exfoliation is the key to glowing skin. I show off my supersmooth legs as often as I can."

"I have the same button nose as my mom, who's from Nigeria. It's just the right shape for my face and pairs perfectly with trendy shades."

"Cosmetic surgery is popular in my native Brazil, but I'm lucky that my pillowy lips are 100 percent natural."

"It's interesting to me that people can never pinpoint my ethnicity—I'm Greek, Italian, Cuban, and Irish."

"In Korean culture, high, sculpted cheekbones are coveted. I use a bit of blush and highlighter to accentuate mine."
