The Beautiful Bar Refaeli Talks Beauty
After just a few minutes into eating lunch with supermodel Bar Refaeli, it was easy to see why Escada chose her as the face of their new fragrance, Especially Escada. The flirty scent is one part zesty (pear), one part classic (rose), and one part insanely sexy (ylang ylang)—all qualities the Israeli model exudes. Over a pear salad and rose chocolate (get it?), we talked fragrance, makeup, and confidence.
Has your fragrance taste changed over the years?
"Not really—I've always liked gentle fragrances."
How would you describe Especially Escada?
"It's the kind of smell that makes you smile. It is delicate, feminine, and elegant but free-spirited. It is for a woman whose happiness is her confidence."
When do you wear this fragrance? Is it an everyday scent or one that you wear on special occasions?
"I wear it every day. I don't think there are special scents for special occasions. I like to have a smell that is mine—for both day and night."
What are some of your favorite beauty products that you always use?
"Right now, I love Nars stick blush in Orgasm, Armani mascara, and Clinique stick lip balm."
What's the best makeup tip you've learned on set?
"To put a light-colored eyeliner inside my eyes—it brightens and opens my eyes."
What does your skin-care routine consist of?
"Pretty much just cleaning it twice a day. I wash with facial soap and put on light cream after. I also try to drink a lot of water, since traveling dries my skin."
What's your favorite spa treatment?
"I don't like spas so much. I like a massage every now and then but it's usually at home."
How do you stay in shape?
"Well, I try to eat healthy. I don't stop myself from eating anything but I just feel better when I eat healthy things! I also work out, but not as often as I would like to. I travel a lot for work and I'm too tired to go to the gym in hotels. Whenever I'm in Israel, I work out four to five times a week."
Who are some of your beauty icons?
"My mom is my beauty icon! She is so happy at all times and that to me is beautiful! I like women who carry themselves with confidence but still are approachable. Princess Diana to me is a beauty icon—she had kindness in her eyes and elegance, but she was still so simple."
What's your favorite compliment you've ever received?
"I always like to hear I'm more beautiful on the inside. I also recently heard that Prince Harry likes me—that is a pretty cool compliment."
What do you do to get pumped before a big shoot?
"I sleep! I try to get in bed early, watch a movie, and rest to have energy for the next day."
