It’s all in the skin. “Great skin is the foundation of a beautiful pregnancy,” says Ramirez, who shares her beauty tips with the girls in her agency. Moisture is of the utmost importance for healthy, beautiful skin: this means drinking plenty of water. Also, applying moisturizer all over your body and using a special cream to help it maintain its elasticity can help avoid stretch marks. Ramirez recommends using Bio-Oil from head to toe, then concentrating on the belly area in the morning and at night.

Minimalist makeup, neutral colours. During pregnancy, your skin is already glowing, and you don’t need much to enhance it—you definitely don’t want to cover it up with heavy foundation or powders. Go with a tinted moisturizer with SPF, a bit of bronzer to highlight your jawbone and cheeks in your growing face and to elongate your neck, and some neutral lip gloss to put emphasis on your pout. Finish off the look with a coat of mascara, and you’re good to go!

 

Flaunt that belly! “The pregnant body truly is a beautiful body—the curves look amazing!” says Liza. The idea is to take the focus off the extra weight you’ve gained, and put it on the main attraction: your belly. Go ahead and wear form-fitting clothes that highlight your baby bump; choose solid colours for a sleek look and bold accessories that stand out. Empire waist tops are awesome during pregnancy, since they give your growing breasts good support, while flowing nicely along the belly, and can be dressed up or down for different types of activities and occasions.
