Kaia Gerber Reveals Her Mom Cindy Crawford's Best Beauty Tips: 'Less is More'

Kaia Gerber looks as gorgeous as ever in her latest shoot for Byrdie, where she discussed her new modeling gig for Marc Jacobs.

Here’s what the 15-year-old model, actress, and daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber had to share:

On the term “supermodel”: “I think supermodel is a term used a bit lightly now, but back in the ’90s, it was my mom, Claudia [Schiffer], Naomi [Campbell], Linda [Evangelista], Christy [Turlington] – this whole group of girls that everyone wanted to be just like. They did a lot of work together, but they were all individual, which I really liked about them. No two of them looked the same. Each girl represented a different person that one girl could relate to, so if you couldn’t relate to my mom, you could relate to Christy or to Linda or to Claudia. I think it was cool for young girls to have all those different role models. And I look up to all of them, the image they’ve created for themselves, this group of really strong, powerful women. I think that is actually starting to come back with this new group of models … like Gigi [Hadid] and Kendall [Jenner].”

On her mom, Cindy: “I’ve always been really into the ’90s. I always love going back and looking at photos of my mom when she was closer to my age. You can’t deny that we have similarities. And I’ve always tried to be more like her. I’ve always looked up to her in the way that she hasn’t let anything in the business affect her. In my eyes, she’s the coolest, nicest person in the world. And I understand that she’s ‘my mom,’ but we’ve actually become really good friends. As I get older, we get closer, so I haven’t really experienced that teenage angst against my parents, which I’m glad about. There are definitely days where I’m like, ‘Ugh, OK, Mom.’ But I won’t lie: We’re pretty close, and I’ve always wanted to be just like her.”

On the best beauty advice from her mom: “My mom has had a big influence on my beauty routine. The best lesson she’s taught me is that less is more. Because she’s very simple herself. She doesn’t need a lot of time to get ready; she’s very go-with-the-flow. I’ve taken that from her – just not to be a diva in any way. That less-is-more idea also applies to your skin, where the more you do sometimes almost makes your skin angrier. So it’s just about keeping it really simple. She teaches me tricks, like using vitamin E oil for glowy skin, which I would have never thought of. What she’s learned in the beauty world, she passes on to me.”
