SEYFRIED

The actress on her obsession with scents,

spa treatments and toning her butt

BEAUTY RULES

PHOTOGRAPHED BY GETTY IMAGES; EDWARD URRUTIA. INTERVIEW BY CHARLOTTE CLARK

When I was 11, I used to sneak out

and put mascara on before school.

Mum would catch me, of course! My

blonde lashes have always been a big

deal for me – you can barely see them

without mascara. I tint them every

three weeks and curl them, too.

I’m always working on my butt.

That’s why I love Barre so much. The

combination of Pilates and cardio is

so good for toning, and you can target

specific areas like your thighs or bum.

A Korean spa treatment is the best

thing to do before the red carpet.

I’ll have an all-over skin buff and then

go straight into the sauna afterwards

• it’s a nice way to get rid of toxins.
  When I like a scent, I stick with it
  and Givenchy Live Irrésistible
  Délicieuse is perfect for me. In high

school, I used to like Clinique’s Happy;

now Live Irrésistible Délicieuse’s

sweetness and energy reminds me

of that time in my life. [Seyfried is

an ambassador for Givenchy.]

Dry shampoo is my saviour. I only

wash my hair once every six days, so

I use it a lot. If my ends get dry I rub

in a little coconut oil. I try to leave my

hair as long as I can before washing

it, but when I have to, I love using

Acure’s organic shampoos.

I’m obsessed with candles. I have

them all over the house. I burn incense

all the time, too.

I whiz up fresh fruit and vegetable

smoothies every morning. Since living

in New York and LA I’ve gotten into

organic food and products – city life

makes me want to be a bit more eco.

“Warm floral candles like

Diptyque Figuier [$74]

help me relax.”

“Kevin.Murphy Fresh

Hair Dry Cleaning Spray

[$38.95] has loads of

essential oils in it, so

it smells delicious.”

“I use a dry body brush at home

and exfoliate the hell out of my

bum and legs.” Pictured: EcoTools

Bamboo Bristle Bath Brush, $14.

“Cutting my bangs was a spur-of-the-

moment decision. I always keep a set

of mini straighteners with me so if I get

any annoying kinks from sleeping or

travelling, I can smooth them out.”

“For a big event, red

lipstick makes me feel

classy.” Pictured: Rimmel

London The Only 1

Matte Lipstick in Take

The Stage, $15.95.

“Givenchy Live Irrésistible

Délicieuse [EDP 75ml,

$165] is floral and feminine

but still similar to the

original Live Irrésistible

scent, which I love.”
