Star Exclusive: Heidi Klum On Makeup, Motherhood & More!

Heidi Klum, 34, is already a supermodel, the host of Bravo’s hit reality series Project Runway and a jewelry designer for Mouawad. Now she has added makeup guru to the list! The German-born mother of three just launched the limited-edition collection called The Heidi Klum Very Sexy Makeup Collection at Victoria’s Secret stores nationwide. The line includes a glitter eye liner, an eye shadow, a lipstick and a lip gloss. Heidi, who has been married for two years to singer Seal, tells Star exclusively how she stays sexy.
What sexy look does your husband Seal like best on you?
He’s pretty unusual because he doesn’t like it when I wear my hair down. Like, today I spent an hour getting my hair to look full and sexy. But all he wants is for me to pull my hair back in a bun or ponytail. He tells me he likes to see my face and the hair just gets in the way! That makes it easy for me because it takes such little effort. I’m a lucky girl!
Which Hollywood icon do you think is the sexiest?
Definitely Marilyn Monroe. I’ve never tried to look like her, but I admire her greatly. She was always so feminine and sexy. She had these great curves that she loved to show off. She wore these tight dresses that always made her look so good. It’s difficult to find dresses like that these days because so many of them poof out, but Dolce & Gabanna has a few. Now and then I like to slip into a dress that hugs my curves.
You look incredible, especially considering that you’ve had three children. How do you do it?
I work very, very hard at it. It’s not just the exercise. It’s having to say no so often. Like, this morning I had to say no to these delicious-looking muffins. It was so hard! It’s not easy sometimes.
You now live in L.A. How is it different from New York?
The style is very casual and beachy. It’s all T-shirts and flip flops, so it’s very different from what I am used to. But the look is deceptive because that shirt that looks 10 years old probably cost $800! It’s casual but expensive.
What style tips do you have for women?
Don’t follow any trends, do what works for you. You have to know your own style and be true to that. Never force a look.
What is the theme of your makeup line?
Sexy! I used a lot of neutral colors because I don’t like bright makeup. I like neutral tones so the eyeshadow is a bit beige-y and the lips gloss is light pink. All this makeup is super easy to use and it all blends together so well.
Why have you decided to create a makeup line?
I’ve loved playing with makeup since I was a little girl and this was my opportunity to create my favorite looks.
Does your daughter Leni play with your makeup?
Yes! She’s three and likes to have fun with makeup. But she doesn’t put it on her face like we do. She likes to use makeup to make characters, like the kind they paint on your face at the Halloween pumpkin patch. Her favorite character is a mouse so she puts a big dot of black eyeliner on her nose and she draws whiskers. She also does a pretty good cat face. We have a book at home on making faces with makeup that she uses. So she’s already very good at applying makeup! She’s an early beginner!
What is the one makeup product you can’t live without?
Mascara, because I like to bring attention to my eyes. Full lashes are like frames to your eyes and they help bring out the color. I wear it all the time, even when I go to the grocery store!
What is your everyday routine for makeup?
Moisturizer, mascara and lip gloss. That’s the minimum I wear. I keep it simple.
