"My approach to beauty is constantly changing," she said.

In fact, Kaia Gerber told

magazine on Monday July 18 that she had been avoiding makeup since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and the successive confinements.

“When I was younger, I really wanted to look older (…), explained the daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.

But during the pandemic, I didn't wear makeup.

It was so nice not to feel any pressure on my appearance, and I'm trying to keep it that way."

Before continuing: “I wondered why I could only be natural when I saw no one.

Why can't I just wear jogging?

Why do we have to wear makeup on the red carpet?

I find it nice sometimes, I like it, especially after such a long time without makeup.

But I don't think it should be a requirement."

I love Françoise Hardy and Jane Birkin - the look of these cool French girls has always inspired me."

The model also sang the praises of “actresses like Gena Rowlands”, with “incredible personalities”.

“And then, of course, there is my mother, whom I admire, and to whom I can ask advice, she indicated.

I sat and watched her put on makeup over and over.

She is much better than me, because she worked in the 1990s – now nobody knows how to do their own makeup anymore.”
