One pre-show ritual in particular seems to be huge this year: gold face masks. Models, like Irina Shayk, Alessandra Ambrosio, Elsa Hosk, Iza Goulart and Sara Sampaio, have appeared in Instagram photos wearing gold sheet masks on their faces.

 Let's start with the fact that having a website is crucial. I don't know about you, but if I Google a company and can't find them online, my first thoughts are, "It doesn't exist" or "They're sketchy," and my last thought is usually, "Oh, maybe I misspelled it."
