Inside Miranda Kerr's Beauty Cabinet
There’s nothing that does it in for the ol’ self-esteem quite like an afternoon with a supermodel, right? But seriously, aside from being otherworldly, jaw-droppingly stunning (among other hyperbolic declarations), Miranda Kerr was next level nice, too—just in case we weren’t fawning enough already. Greeting us at the door of her Manhattan home, she gave us a quick tour before we got to playing in her closet, which she told us was only the tip of the iceberg, “I’m living in New York. You make the best of the space that you have”.
Kerr’s abode has the whole pretty-as-a-Pinterest-board thing going on; clean white walls and furniture, antique trays, with plenty of pink accents and peonies blooming everywhere you turn. Virtually every surface is also littered with an assortment of candles and crystals—Kerr is big on all things organic, intuitive and natural, hence the abundance of rose quartz scattered around. That very same approach to all-natural-everything extends to her top shelf, too, which lead her to launch her beauty and lifestyle line, Kora Organics. Because, really, who’s going to say no to getting supermodel skin?

On bad hair days (yes, she has them)…
"My bad hair day routine is a slick ponytail or a low braid or plait… failing that, reach for a hat!"
On treating long-haul flights like a mobile spa…
"Before a long flight, I like to remove my make-up and apply KORA Organics Luxurious Rosehip Oil to keep my skin well hydrated and protected throughout the flight. Just before touch down, I mist my face with KORA Organics Energising Citrus Mist to brighten my complexion, apply KORA Organics Tinted Day cream – a lighter alternative to foundation which leaves skin with a fresh even skin tone, KORA Organics Vitamin Enhanced Lip Balm to my lips and as a highlighter on my cheekbones, curl my lashes (which helps open up the eyes) and apply two coats of mascara. This ensures I disembark [the plane] looking and feeling fresh. Also, remember to hydrate from within by drinking lots of water and herbal teas."
On looking alive in a snap…
"If I’m feeling tired I like to put cool fresh organic cucumber slices on my eyes to sooth and revive them. I also sleep with organic coconut oil or olive oil in my hair once a week as a treatment – it nourishes the scalp and leaves my hair super shiny! I use my KORA Organics Vitamin Enhanced Lip Balm to highlight my brow and cheek bones – it creates a fresh luminous appearance."
On her favorite drugstore buys…
"Revlon’s Ultimate Liquid Lipstick in Top Tomato is a great shade of red that suits most skin tones. Its clever formula stays put so you don’t have to worry about smudging or bleeding. I like to apply KORA Organics Lip Balm first to hydrate my lips whilst I do the rest of my make up, then apply Liquid Lipstick in Top Tomato as my last step. If I could only spend $20 at a drugstore for my beauty bag, I would get: tweezers, a small magnifying mirror and Maybelline Great Lash mascara."
On the power of organic skincare…
"The incredible results KORA Organics is having on people’s skin from all over the world. We receive amazing testimonials and before and after pictures showing skin problems such as Rosacea, Dermatitis and Psoriasis clearing up on adults, teenagers and babies. It’s so heartwarming to know my products are making a difference."
