Alessandra Ambrosio - When you think glowing skin, cascading curls, and
flawless faces we're guessing a particular subset
of supermodel comes to mind: The Victoria's
Secret Angels. We don't mean to play favorites,
but after catching up with 10-year VS veteran,
Alessandra Ambrosio, the Brazilian bombshell is quickly becoming our number one girl crush.
Alessandra is one hot mama-literally. When she's
not in total glam mode gliding down the runway,
you can find this mother of two in full-on mom
mode-most likely with either daughter Anja or son
Noah perched on her hip. And she does it all looking seriously stunning. We were lucky enough to snag
an exclusive interview with Alessandra where she
spilled some of her supermodel (and supermom)
beauty secrets. Who is your biggest beauty inspiration?
My biggest beauty inspirations are definitely my
mom and grandmother. They both taught me at a
young age how important it is to care for your body
and treat it right. We all have those photos we look back on
that make us say "What was I thinking!?"
What is the biggest beauty mistake you've
ever made?
I have plenty of childhood photos of my sister and
me testing out different hair and makeup tricks. We
were young and just playing, but sometimes I look
at the photos and laugh at how overboard we
went! As your daughter Anja grows up, what
beauty habits do you hope she learns from
you?
I am trying to instill an overall healthy lifestyle into
both of my children's lives. Growing up in Brazil we
ate very fresh, great foods, and I really want to
encourage proper nutrition and pass on healthy
everyday habits to my kids. What are your makeup bag staples when
traveling?
I always make sure to have the basics with me
when I travel. A good bronzer and mascara can go
a long way. Soleil Tan de Chanel Moisturizing
Bronzing Cream, Benefit "They're Real!"
Mascara, RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek, Rodin Olio Lusso Lip
Balm, and Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Radiant Touch. On the VS runway you rock some pretty high
glam looks. How would you describe your
day-to-day beauty routine?
My day-to-day beauty routine is a lot more low-key
than when I am working. As a busy mom it's all
about simplicity, but I do love a little bit of glam
when I go out at night! With photo shoots and fashion shows we
have to imagine your hair sees a lot of heat
styling. How do you keep your locks healthy
and shiny?
Kerastase Hair Masque and Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray are lifesavers for my hair with all of the
styling it goes through! Do you have a signature nail color?
Do you
like to switch it up or do you have a standby
favorite?
I love to switch it up! Nails are such a fun way to be
creative with your look, so I love to try different
designs and colors based on my mood. Right now, I
am really into white nails though.
