As a longtime model and television personality, Heidi Klum knows a thing or two about putting her best face forward. And Heidi, recently shared with us some beauty tips and tricks she’s garnered over the years. Let’s see her favorite products, her go-to look, and a what fashion accessory she counts as a beauty must have once you keep reading.

What have you learned about hair care from working with Clear?

Heidi Klum: “What I thought was amazing is that no one has thought of nourishing the scalp before. Once the hair is already split, it’s split. You have to cut it. But because I have colored hair, I think it’s especially important to nourish hair from the scalp. Even if you don’t color your hair, it’s good to do that, because your hair gets stronger and shinier. You’re basically feeding your scalp and therefore your hair.”

Do you like playing with your hairstyles?

HK: “I always like to play with my hair, with my styles, and haircut — I go from bangs to growing it out again. I usually cut it and then I want to grow it out immediately! I think hair is our accessory. It’s like a great pair of shoes, like a great purse, or a bracelet. So I think you should take care of your hair and play with it and not always have it the same. You don’t always want to wear the same shoes or the same handbag either, so I think it’s fun to change it up.”

What’s your go-to look when you’re not working?

HK: “When I go on the red carpet or if I go to dinner, I dress up. I always try to do something special with my hair. When I’m just running around during the daytime, not so much. I’m usually wash-and-wear; I put it in a bun or ponytail.”

Any makeup tips for the real woman?

HK: “What I think is most hard for women is to find the right foundation. I think the BB creams really help because they’re much lighter with SPF, and they have coverage. My favorite is from a European company called Astor. It enhances your beauty, but it’s not necessarily completely covering you up. You don’t have to go crazy and wear too much makeup. Just pick a brown or shimmery eye shadow, always a little bit of mascara, and I think an eyelash curler is key. Have a nice glossy lip, and maybe a little rosy cheek. If you have a special date night or event, then try a little bit more with a cat eye or something, but not too much.”

What’s your favorite skin care product?

HK: “I do like Mario Badescu Buttermilk Moisturizer ($18) because I don’t like a lot of perfume on the skin. It’s not very complicated and fake and heavy.”

Is there a beauty product you always have in your handbag?

HK: “Not really so much but I have a lipstick that I like, just to have a bit of sheen on the lips so they don’t look too dry. I’m low maintenance. One of my biggest beauty products are my sunglasses.”

Kendall Jenner may be one of the world’s highest-paid models [earning a cool $10 million this year alone) – and taking over every major catwalk show this season – but when it comes to her beauty buys she prefers to keep things very low-key.

So, how does she get her million-dollar locks to look so good? “I wash my hair every day and for some reason it works for me. I’ve been doing it since I was a baby,” Jenner shares, recognizing that her hair care secret isn’t all that groundbreaking, but one that she swears by.

Another reason? She loves her bedhead. Because Jenner was born with such straight strands, her other hair trick is sleeping with her hair wet. “I already was doing it all the time, but this hair stylist on set [reaffirmed that] if you just go to bed with your hair wet, you wake up in the morning and have texture. I have an issue with volume, so it always falls really flat. When I go to bed [with wet hair], I get little bumps and I love that,” she explains.

Additionally, ‘Kim [Kardashian West] likes Finesse shampoo, and now so do I,’ Kendall revealed. ‘I’ve tried all the expensive things, too. It just works for my hair and makes it so silky.’ Finesse shampoo contains active silk and soy protein, promising to ‘penetrate deep into the hair shaft to help restore and strengthen hair that’s damaged, dry or just straight up stubborn.’

Adding: ‘My hair has held up so much that every hairstylist has been like, ‘Why is your hair still so amazing?’ And I’m like, ‘I literally don’t do anything. I just use Finesse.’ And everyone’s like, ‘What?’”

Jenner has always looked to Kim and her other sisters for guidance, ever since she was little including skin cares and hair tips. But although she looked different than they did, in no way did they make her feel like an outsider, contrary to what was concluded in a recent interview she had with The Telegraph.

“I never said that in a way of like, trying to pull a pity party. I just meant we had different body types. I had to figure out what suited mine and what made sense for me,” Jenner explains of her interview. “My sisters were obviously, [and] still are, the people that I looked up to and when I was younger. I was much more impressionable, so I was trying to dress like them and then I’d [be like], ‘Why isn’t anything fitting me like it fits them?” she tells me.

And Kendall’s not the only A-lister who prefers to keep her beauty cupboard basic. Blake Lively admits to using mayonnaise in her hair to strengthen her bleached ends. And Miranda Kerr gives herself a weekly tea-steam facial to tighten her pores.

Dry, brittle strands may well be an indication your hair needs some TLC, and weather during the colder months can be making it worse. Enter hair masks. Although all hair types can enjoy an honest mask, these deep-conditioning, nutrient-rich formulas are especially great for dry hair, which may more easily split or break at the follicle.

Like face masks, hair masks aren’t necessarily for everyday use but as another step once you notice your hair could use a lift. Start by masking once per week, and adjust frequency looking on what your hair needs.
