Q: You always look stunning on the red carpet, but what's your everyday makeup look?
A: Since I'm always travelling and taking care of my kids, I like to have a natural yet polished look. Sometimes less is definitely more when it comes to makeup.
Q: How do you take care of your skin? Any tips?
A: The best way to take care of your skin is to make sure you're eating healthy foods. What you eat makes a big difference when it comes to your skin!
Q: What are your secrets to great looking hair?
A: I have naturally curly hair, so I like to use natural oils to keep it under control. My favourite is Moroccanoil. I also like to make an avocado hair mask - you simply mash up an avocado and apply it straight to your hair, cover with a shower cap, and leave in for 30 to 40 minutes. It makes your hair so hydrated and shiny.
Q: Which makeup essentials do you always carry in your handbag?
A: Tinted lip balm and black eyeliner are always a must!
Q: You're in amazing shape. Do you do anything out of the ordinary to mix things up, or work with a personal trainer on target areas?
A: I used to do the Tracy Anderson Method, which works on training the small muscle groups. I'm now working with personal trainer Gunnar Peterson, whom I love because he keeps me really motivated.
Q: Tell us about your handbag range MUXO. How involved are you in the design process?
A: My mother and I started the line and both remain very involved in the design process. We use a lot of inspiration from the places we have spent a lot of time - Brazil, New York and Los Angeles. I also take inspiration from the beauty of the water and the mystery surrounding it. It's very rewarding to see the final product of something we have created, something that's so personal to us.
Q: How would you incorporate these handbags in to your everyday look?
A: The collection has numerous bags to suit different needs and everyday looks. Each bag can be customised to your liking, colour and style, so there is something practical and fashionable for every woman.
Q: Who would you love to see wearing your bags?
A: Everyone! It doesn't matter where you're from or what you're doing - my bags complement anyone's unique personal style.
