Interview: Model Gee Burridge (UK)

Can you tell us a little about you?

I’m a 25 year old British International Fashion Model and Presenter. I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world and have lived in five countries, and now currently live in New York City. I’m the current host of Macy’s Live and work in the football industry here in the US as a presenter.

How did you start modelling?

I was scouted at 16 years old in Manchester, UK. And then became a full time model when I turned 18 years old, just as I left school. My international career shortly followed, and the rest is history!

What do you think of the work as a model?

I love my job – as cliché as it sounds, I really do have my dream job! Working as a model is nowhere as glamorous as most think; in reality we work very long hours, continually travel and it’s hard work. The more effort you put into your career as a model, the more you get back, and because of that I feel very grateful that I get to do what I do!

What is your beauty regimen?

I like to keep it simple, less is always more. I love my skin to be glowy and hydrated, so hyaluronic acid based products are my go to. I double cleanse always, and then add vitamin c to the skin.

What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others?

Definitely my eyebrows!

What are your plans for the future?

I’m loving the direction that my career is going in right now, and it feels like my future is being pathed in that aspect. But mainly, I plan for my future to be filled with nothing but love, hard work and my favourite people; anything else is a bonus.

What are some of your favorite experiences so far?

My first international job in Paris, working for Victoria Beckham at Paris Fashion Week, that will forever be a career highlight!

Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling?

Just to go for it! You will receive hundreds of no’s, but keep you head held high and learn to deal with the rejection – there will be a lot of it! One day you’ll receive a yes that may just change your life. Be prepared to work hard and go after what you want, nothing in this industry will just come to you, you have to work for it.

What do you think of the magazine?

The magazine is so fun, I love the versatility of the interviews and spreads!
