Oh La La Laetitia.(Laetitia Casta, fashion model)(Interview)

This is the sixth time the luscious Laetitia Casta has graced Cosmo's cover. Her appeal is undeniable and universal--she has represented some of the largest fashion and beauty companies in the world (she's currently a face for L'Oreal), lent her image to the coins and stamps of her native homeland, France, and recently starred in her third motion picture, Les Ames Fortes (translation: Savage Souls), which premiered at the 2001 Cannes International Film Festival. In it, Laetitia plays Therese, a beautiful young woman who discovers her power to seduce people. Hmmm...doesn't sound like much of a stretch, does it? Here, this enchantress extraordinaire reveals the down-to-earth charm that lies beneath her glamorous exterior.

What do you do in your free time?

I love to have dinner parties and cook for my friends.

Any favorite foods?

I like simple food, like mashed potatoes, fried eggs, and sausages. When I'm traveling, I always order that meal from room service.

What are your makeup secrets?

In the evening, I often wear a hint of shimmer on my brow bone (try L'Oreal On-the-Loose Eye Powder). And when I want more glamour, I always use L'Oreal Rouge Virtuale Lipcolour, which is so light, you can hardly feel you're wearing it.
