Chrissy Teigen Talks Long Bangs, Social Media, and Casseroles

"I always love when my bang is longer. There's something really sultry about a deep side part and very long hair. For me, it elongates my face and I feel nice with it. If I'm off a red-eye [flight] or something, though, it is going up, nice and tight on the sides so it pulls my face back. My hair and makeup people want to try new things all the time . . . we want to be different and think outside the box, but sometimes it's so mood-based for me. I want to feel really good and confident, and sometimes, that means going back to the old things that you love and playing it safe."

"I love browns. It's a mom thing. Remember when you'd get that free gift at Lancome or whatever and you could pick [a lipstick]? They would have two colors, the pink one and the brown one. My mom always went brown; I used to make so much fun of her. But yeah, now I love a brown lip, that's definitely my favorite. If I'm wearing a color, it's because the makeup artist forced it on me."

"If my skin is bad, I'm out for the day. Like, I really mentally am not there. I hate that feeling. My esthetician Shani Darden has this thing called Retinol Reform ($95), which is like a spot treatment, and I love it so much. I used to use it all the time, 'cause I used to have bad skin when I'd get periods, but now I haven't seen one of those for awhile so I don't really remember what it's like to have bad skin, thank god. I will in a couple of months, though."

"I don't do very much. Honestly, I like effortless, easy. My shower is 15 minutes. I'm very neurotic with my products, I really stick to what I love — shampoo, conditioner, razor. That stuff I'm very particular about — I'm crazy about men's razors — but I don't really do too much. I keep things very simple."

"I wear so much makeup on set — stage makeup is pretty crazy — and taking off the eyelashes is the best feeling. I wear two strip lashes on top and then I wear individuals on the bottom for television, and removing those is a must. As soon as I walk in the door — it's like taking your bra off, it's so good."

"I love casseroles. I love family-style anything. I grew up on those giant lasagnas that you just pop in the oven. John and I had a family-style wedding, there's just something about passing around a big dish of food. And casseroles get better as they sit; they're better the next day. So anything nice and hearty that can be scooped out of a casserole, that's my ultimate comfort food — my mom's scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole, I have a tuna casserole that I love. But I'm not a huge leftovers nut so I need more family members . . . that's what we're trying to do [laughs]."

"I love working out, I really love doing Body by Simone. It mixes barre and dance, but I don't do the dance part, 'cause I can't dance. I'm notoriously bad at it. Even if it's like two steps, I can't remember them. But I really love doing that because for me, working out is truly about endorphins and that feeling afterwards. Because [in] my family, it's mainly about diet. You can work out all you want, but if you go home and eat like crap, it's not really going to do anything."

"When I get worked up, the only thing that helps is saying something [laughs]."
