The Trick Miranda Kerr Swears By for Super Shiny Hair

I’m obsessed with mascara, but have a love/hate relationship with it too, so maybe I’d screw that. I’d marry lipstick since I like a red lip. I guess that leaves highlighter to kill, but we have a really great one at Kora that I love. Unless I just kill lipstick and go for the real clean look? Then I’d need to stick with the highlighter. Maybe that’s where I’m heading at the moment? This is hard.

What’s the best beauty advice your mom ever gave you?

Since I was little, my mom used to say, “:et your little light shine.” That just meant shine your heart, your light, into the world. I feel like no matter who you are, when you do that, you’re the most beautiful.

Which women are inspiring you the most right now?

My grandmother because she’s the epitome of grace, has a generous spirit, and an infectious laugh.

If you could change one thing about beauty perceptions, what would that be?

Every single person has so much beauty inside of them, and when they feel confident within themselves and comfortable in their own skin, that beauty really can shine through. I just feel like that needs to be captured more in all areas, all shapes and sizes, all backgrounds. When someone’s comfortable in their own skin, they really radiate on the outside.

What’s your favorite way to take a moment for yourself?

I’ve practiced meditation for a long time, so I can just recenter and focus on my breath. Even if I’m in the middle of chaotic situations, I can kind of zone into my quiet place. Obviously it’s great when I can meditate in a quiet, calm place, but it’s not always possible.

How much time do you spend getting ready?

I’ve never timed it, but I have a theory that it takes me seven minutes to get ready from literally in my PJs to out the door. That doesn’t include my shower, though. Let’s say I’ve already done that and cleansed my face. It takes me seven minutes to do my skin-care routine, add some concealer, a little highlighter, and there you go! I’m pretty quick.
