Portuguese beauty Maria Clara stars in MOJEH’s April issue. Here, the Next Models Management favourite walks us through her beauty regime and more
The first thing I do when I wake up is…
Stretch and enjoy a bowl of nice warm porridge with cinnamon, banana and homemade granola.
The one beauty product I can’t live without…
Lip balm. It’s my travel essential to endure all the different types of weather I have to face.
My go-to lip shade…
A classic red from Chanel like Rouge Coco in Carmen.
My go-to nail colour…
I like pretty and simple nails, so something nude. Blanc White from Chanel for example.
What’s in my bag…
Wallet; passport; healthy snacks (always!); sunglasses; phone charger; keys; lip balm; hand moisturiser; a bottle of water; and a 100% cacao chocolate bar.
My favourite travel partner…
Most of the time I always travel by myself for work…so can I say my neck pillow? It comes everywhere I go and changes into a teddy. Easy to carry and hangs onto my backpack!
My must-visit for April…
April is the perfect month to visit Tokyo and see the Cherry Blossoms live. A really beautiful experience!
My favourite city is…
Lisbon – it’s my hometown and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in this world. The light, the people, the weather, the views, the traditional music and street decorations… I would recommend them all, anytime.
Go-to cheat meal…
Anything chocolate related. I have a sweet tooth so deserts are always the best part of the meal for me.
G0-to workout…
Pilates.
Song on repeat at the moment…
Not Afraid, Eminem.
The first show I ever walked was…
Fashion for Relief by Naomi Campbell – it was a charity event that she hosted in London and we, the models, were allowed to have some fun on the runway, show our personalities and enjoy ourselves by dancing and smiling. It still is my most memorable runway show to date.
My favourite show ever was…
This is a tough one! Each show I do is completely unique and has it’s special appeal. It’s very hard to choose only one but I would probably say the Gucci Cruise 2018 in Florence. It was on the day of my 20th birthday and I got to wear the most dreamy dress. I felt like a real-life painting goddess dressed in blue and carrying a gold leaf ringlet. The show space was at Pitti Palace and the fact that my mum flew to Florence specifically to share those moments with me made it completely unforgettable.
My favourite look from the shoot with MOJEH…
I’m obsessed with the Louis Vuitton jacket. I think its really edgy and cool looking, and goes well with any outfit.

The most amazing piece of jewellery on the shoot was…
The fox necklace really caught my attention. We shot it with a matching ring. I loved them both!
