Katie Holmes is promoting her Olay ambassadorship, which is a good fit for her gorgeous skin (as this new ad image shows). She’s done several interviews lately and always comes off calm and collected. There’s a running joke amongst some gossip bloggers that Katie isn’t the most interesting interview. She used her super exclusive People cover to rave about glitter and pancakes. Last week, she met with Yahoo’s Style Sessions to detail her sock obsession. After years under Tom Cruise’s thumb, I imagine she’s relieved to maintain normalcy. I get it (and still suspect she’s more interesting than she pretends to be).
Katie’s latest interviews include a talk with E! about how a Dawson’s Creek reunion wouldn’t work because the show “was of a certain time. It was pre-Internet. There was an innocence there.” She also spoke with Into the Gloss about hair and makeup. Katie admits doing her makeup in the car. I hope she doesn’t mean she applies it while driving. Nope, she had better not:
She likes low-maintenance makeup: “My schedule is pretty busy, so I’ve learned to do my makeup quickly because I prefer to sleep. I’ll wait until the very last minute to wake up and get ready in about 20 minutes. First thing, I drink about a liter of water … And in New York, I’ll actually wash my face more because I feel the city’s a dirtier place. Whereas in California, it’s very dry, so I actually drink more water and moisturize more when I’m there. I’ll do my makeup in the car sometimes. In the summertime, it’s all about putting the sunscreen on, then some mascara and maybe a light eyeshadow that’s in the same shade range as my lipstick–something really natural. Tom Ford has a good lipstick called Blush Nude … I do wear purple eyeliner instead of black. It makes my eyes look greener.”
Her hair habits have improved: “When I was a little girl–if I could have–I would have gone a year without washing my hair. I hated it, to the point where my sisters had to pay me to wash my hair. I think after experiencing that, I like to wash it every day.”
Her Met gala wig: “I put my hair in a wig for the Met gala this year, and people thought I actually cut it again, but no. Sometimes it’s tough with the internet–you’ll do something different and get dressed up just to get cut down because they don’t like your new haircut or something. But that’s probably a bigger problem. Either way, if I were to cut my hair again, I wouldn’t cut it so short that I couldn’t put it in a ponytail.”

The internet really thought Katie chopped her hair off for the Met gala, which I didn’t understand. The new ‘do looked so costume-y and fake. That was the plan, right? The part about Katie not wanting to wash her hair as a child is gross but cute. Now she washes her hair every single day. Some people (not me) think that’s an overkill move.
