If, like us, you harbour a serious girl crush on catwalk queen Karlie Kloss and spend hours lusting over her shiny tresses, radiant glow and incredible body, then you’ll be pretty psyched to hear that we’ve got the inside scoop on Karlie’s hair and beauty secrets. In a recent interview with Into The Gloss, the 21-year-old model revealed the products lurking in her make-up bag that keep her looking oh-so-fresh, exactly how she keeps that body in such tip-top shape and her quest for straight teeth. Read on to discover the things we learnt about Karlie’s beauty regime…
1. She describes herself as more of an athlete than a model
“I’m six feet, one-and-a-half inches—at least, last time I checked… and I think that’s why I treat myself more as an athlete than just a model. I love to challenge myself physically and mentally.”

2. She has a holistic approach to beauty
“I feel healthiest and most beautiful when I take care of myself in everything from what's on my top shelf in my bathroom to eating well and doing exercise. To me, beauty is so much more about how you feel than products, and that comes down to what you're putting in your body and how you take care of yourself.”
3. She keeps her body moving
“I try to do something every day, even if it's just stretching or a one-mile run. A body in motion stays in motion.”

4. Getting a good night’s sleep is always one of her top priorities
“Source Naturals Liquid Melatonin is really, really good. It's a homeopathic solution to help you sleep. I'm knocked out in like 10 minutes; it's really potent stuff, so it's the last thing I'll do before going to bed.”
5. She prefers natural beauty products
“I love… beauty products that are cleaner, more natural, or organic alternatives that I was never exposed to growing up. Like coconut water—there wasn’t much of it in St. Louis. But being conscious of all of that, I feel different, I feel completely different.
6. Moderation and variety are key to her health and beauty
“I think everything in moderation, and variety is key. It’s the same thing with products I think it’s a combination of both switching up what you’re using and the specific product. I see the same thing with exercise: when I switch up exercises, I feel and see a difference in my body.”

7. Less is more
“In terms of my beauty routine… it’s about how quickly I can get out the door, which is why I like Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser… it doesn’t clog pores.”
8. She likes to take the redness out of her lips
“I have really red, bright lips and I like to mute it sometimes… RMS Un Cover-Up in 22… has a bit of green in it, which cuts the red down but not in a drastic way that makes it look crazy, like I have no lips.”
9. She prefers her nail polish to be nasty-free
“When I started doing research into nail care and nail polish, I found out that being 'five free' is really important - it means the product doesn't have the unhealthy additives. Deborah Lippmann's are 'five free.’”

10. She uses natural oils on her face
“I love all oils, coconut, olive—I actually use olive oil on my skin weirdly enough. I like taking a basic cream, like Embryolisse, and mixing in a drop of the Decleor Neroli Serum or Rodin Oil.”
11. She’s on a quest for straight teeth
“I kind of fell off the Invisalign (invisible, removable braces) bandwagon and didn’t complete my first round so I had to do it again; this is Invisalign: Round Two.”
12. Her haircare is pretty lax
“My hair grows really slowly, so I’m not trying to do anything intentional to it, but it’s taking forever to grow out. Right now, I’m liking the Après Beach Wave and Shine Spray by Oribe, and also the Bob Recine Hair Oil, which gives it shine but doesn’t make it droop.”
