The Victoria's Secret Angel - who has two children, Anja and four-year-old son Noah with her husband Jamie Muzur - has been getting beauty advice from her youngest child, who has knack for applying a good amount of colour to her lips.

Asked what advice she gives Anja on make-up, she said: "She loves make-up and she does her lips really well - like, better than me. I don't know how to do red lipstick but she knows exactly how to do it! She's really good."

And the Brazilian beauty, 34, says she likes to educate Anja on natural products such as using coconut oil for good skin and eating healthy foods, when she goes back home to Brazil.

She added: "I like taking her to Brazil and putting coconut oil all over her skin, and showing her how to eat fresh. I think that's very important."

Meanwhile, Alessandra - who has been made the face of L'Oréal Professionnel's DIA Richesse Hi-Visibility hair dye - says the best tip she's ever been given is hitting the pillow for as long as possible.

She told Vogue.co.uk: "It's hard to choose because I've worked for so long, and learned so much! I think sleeping is the best beauty advice. If I get eight hours I'm good to go. Rest is the best thing for feeling good and looking pretty."
