Heart Evangelista has been taking the global fashion scene by storm. While she does often share snippets of her everyday adventures on social media, we know well enough that one's feed is usually a curated representation and doesn't reflect life in its entirety. As the old adage goes, you'll never truly know someone unless you've lived with them—and it turns out one of Heart's IG mainstays actually did.
Justin Louise Soriano has been a staple on Heart's page for quite some time now. When they're not goofing around together and enjoying some quality time, he is often credited for doing Heart's makeup or taking her photo or even both.
It turns out, Heart is actually quite the muse. Not only is she beautiful with features that make for a perfect canvas, she also inspires Justin to take his craft to the next level. She encourages him to be creative and even opens more doors for him. Oh, and the best bit that we learned about the style maven? She's an open book and is exactly like her charming online persona. Scroll on to read the full exclusive interview!
