Yes, Doutzen Kroes is
almost inconceivably beautiful. She’s also intelligent, humble, and deeply
thoughtful, especially considering we’re talking to the Dutch model and mother
of two (a three-year-old boy and two-month-old girl) about being the new
face—and body—of Calvin
Klein’s new fragrance, Reveal.
“It’s almost a complement to your own body scent,” she says of the perfume. “It
has a hint of salt, almost like sweat. It’s human.” Turns out,
so’s she.
Kroes spilled
her thoughts on everything from career regrets to motherhood to orangutans
in her delightful interview.
Did you pick up any beauty tricks while shooting this campaign?
Well, over the years, I’ve picked up a lot of beauty tricks: curling your eyelashes, contouring your face. I love makeup. I love doing it if I have time. I had a friend who came over and said, “Wow, you’re wearing a lot of makeup. Were you just at work?” And I said, “No, I was just in the bathroom.”

Has your beauty routine changed since you’ve become a mother?
Yeah, because I don’t have the time anymore. With one kid, it was okay. Now, I’m happy if I get to take a shower. I appreciate it more when I get makeup done. If I’m working, it’s very nice. I get to go home and my husband will be there, and I come home with makeup on. It’s almost like I’m a different woman.

And you get a break from being the caretaker! Someone is taking care of
you for a change.
As a model, when you have a kid, it’s actually really nice coming back to work because you’re getting hair and makeup. You feel pretty again, you know? Most moms don’t get that. They go to work, or they’re full-time parents. It’s a treat, and I appreciate it.

As far as eating and fitness, how do you stay healthy?
Well, I have always eaten healthy — even more so when I was pregnant, because I was thinking about what I was putting into my body and what my baby was eating. I try to stay away from processed foods and refined sugars. I’ve done it my whole life because my mom and dad were mindful of raising us healthy. I think that has a lot to do with getting back into shape. My body has been healthy my whole life, so it knows how to get back to its old shape pretty fast.

Were your parents unusual in that way? Or is that approach the norm in
Holland?
Yeah. Here in the States, people eat out a lot, especially in New York where they order delivery. In Holland, we have restaurants, but people are like, “Why should I go to a restaurant if I can cook myself?” They don’t like to spend money in that way. Regular families go out for dinner maybe once every six months. They don’t eat out. It’s fun, too, sometimes more fun than going to a restaurant.
