"  Photo: Courtesy of Calvin Klein, Caudalie, Deborah Lippmann  Last night, ELLE.com sat down with 28-year-old Dutch beauty, Lara Stone, face of Calvin Klein&amp;#039;s Euphoria fragrance at the Gotham Independent Film Awards to discuss all things beauty. Stone was all smiles as she chatted about her favorite beauty picks and dished about her totally real-girl habits: She copes with tangled morning hair, she longs for a quicker metabolism and a healthy glow, and she loathes drinking water. Read more, below. ELLE: What are some beauty products that you can&amp;#039;t live without? Lara Stone: My favorite would have to be concealer, which I don&amp;#039;t think anyone can live without these days. I use the CK One concealer as well as their One color face makeup. It&amp;#039;s brilliant. It&amp;#039;s super natural, and it makes it look like you don&amp;#039;t have any makeup on. I don&amp;#039;t really like the whole pancake look. I find hair things really hard because I can&amp;#039;t do my own hair. The only thing I use for my hair is a Tangle Teezer. It&amp;#039;s the best thing ever for everyone that has long hair. Every time I wake up I have this huge dreadlock in the back, and I don&amp;#039;t know why. It&amp;#039;s not like I sleep like a maniac or anything. It gets knots out really easy, and it&amp;#039;s handy. ELLE: What about for a good mani/pedi? LS: I did a really fun orange nail polish with my friend Deborah Lippmann. All of her nail polishes are named after songs so we called this one &amp;quot;Lara&amp;#039;s Theme&amp;quot; which is really cute. It&amp;#039;s a bright orange which is really good for summer or cheering yourself up in winter. I usually only wear it on my toes because it doesn&amp;#039;t always go with everything. ELLE: Do you have any beauty secrets that you swear by? LS: Just the boring ones. I do the clich\u00E9 ones because they&amp;#039;re sort of tried and tested, but then people get bored of them and try to look for something new. Water does help, but I don&amp;#039;t really like water. You just put things in it like lemon and stuff to make it a bit more bearable. It&amp;#039;s not like I&amp;#039;m sitting at home coming up with some secret beauty plan. I try to eat fruit and be healthy. If I&amp;#039;m feeling a bit sickly, I usually get a good spray tan. ELLE: Any tips you picked up from shows that you&amp;#039;d like to share? LS: They always, always, always curl your lashes, because it really helps open your eyes and make you look awake. Moisturizing is very important. And what they usually do at shows is they spray some water or Caudalie face spray, which smells really nice. They spray that over your face and make that a bit more fresh and dewy-looking so it&amp;#039;s a bit less powdered. ELLE: How important is scent to you? LS: I think it&amp;#039;s really important on a subconscious level. You don&amp;#039;t really realize why you get attracted to certain people, and I do think scent has more to do with it than we realize. You can definitely aid the message that you want to send to people by what scent you&amp;#039;re wearing. And also, you don&amp;#039;t want to smell bad! That&amp;#039;s very important. ELLE: What is your favorite beauty service to get done (hair, manicure, massage, etc.)? LS: I love to get a massage but I&amp;#039;m quite a baby with it. I don&amp;#039;t like them too hard or anyone walking on me or anything. When it&amp;#039;s good, it&amp;#039;s the best thing ever. When it&amp;#039;s bad, it&amp;#039;s an hour of absolute agony. You&amp;#039;re thinking &amp;quot;Oh, it&amp;#039;s gonna get better! I can&amp;#039;t leave because I&amp;#039;m naked. What am I gonna do?&amp;quot; In London, I really like going to the Mandarin Oriental. They can even do my feet without tickling me\u2014I just got over that a couple of months ago. Occasionally I like to have facials but I do think they rub too much stuff on your face. I don&amp;#039;t really like having my hair and makeup done because it&amp;#039;s a work thing. ELLE: If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be, if any? LS: I&amp;#039;d probably change my metabolism and make it a bit quicker. But it&amp;#039;s not a must because I&amp;#039;m quite happy really. I&amp;#039;d like to be a bit less pale because I feel like I look sort of ill sometimes. ELLE: But the pale look is so in! LS: I find it quite hard for me to pull off. It&amp;#039;s so nice to have a tan and look healthy and glowing. I&amp;#039;d quite like to look like Karen Elson\u2014she looks good pale. I feel like I look a bit washed out. ELLE: What is your workout regimen if any? LS: I work out sort of moderately. I did quite a bit of running before, but it&amp;#039;s getting really cold so I joined a gym. I do a bit of swimming and I&amp;#039;m starting to do yoga again. Before I did easy yoga and I found it a bit boring. I&amp;#039;m now doing a more difficult one now and I&amp;#039;m enjoying it a bit more. I occasionally still work out with my trainer Tracy Anderson. ELLE: Which brings us to ask, what is on your gym workout playlist? LS: It&amp;#039;s really embarrassing. I listen to all of my Dutch happy-hardcore songs from my raving techno days when I was about 14. It&amp;#039;s the most horrible music ever. I think it&amp;#039;s some kind of muscle memory that brings me back to when I was 14. It makes me bounce around the gym quite happily. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
