LOS ANGELES:
Actor Katie Holmes works with the best make-up artists in the world, but prefers advice from her mother Kathleen.
The Batman Begins star said that from a young age, she had been taught by her mother that natural beauty and light make-up are best. She now tries to incorporate her mother’s minimalist ethos into her work with cosmetic brand Bobbi Brown, reports femalefirst.co.uk. Holmes has just been replaced by Kate Upton as Bobbi Brown’s celebrity spokesperson.
Holmes told ELLE magazine: “My mother, Kathleen, is a decorator. She’s always told me that looking natural is the most beautiful. Make-up should make us refine our beauty.”
The actor is almost always dressed down, and her paparazzi shots usually show her in low-key looks. However, Holmes insists that she doesn’t care about what people think of her. She said, “Even though I’m in an industry where what people think of you has a huge importance, I’ve stopped worrying about it. The only thing that matters to me is feeling good and living life with serenity.”
The actor had earlier confessed that her seven-year-old daughter Suri, from her previous marriage with Mission Impossible Actor Tom Cruise shows interest in make-up, and said that she has been trying to pass on her less is more mantra to her own offspring.
Adding to that, the 35-year-old said: “My daughter Suri loves make-up. Usually I can’t find my make-up when her friends come over. I tell her to be subtle with it. You can always put more on. Start with one product. You wouldn’t wear all your jewellery at once.”
