Carrie Underwood
To say Carrie Underwood is busy these days would be a huge understatement. Not only does the country superstar have a new album, Storyteller, dropping October 23—she’s also prepping for her eighth time(!!) as co-host of the Country Music Awards (CMAs), which take place November 4. 和, oh yeah, she popped out a baby boy, Isaiah, with hockey player hubby Mike Fisher just seven months ago.
At a press event for cosmetics brand Almay (Carrie is a spokesperson—when does this woman sleep?!), 俄克拉荷马出生的美丽给了我们的低下来的第一次父母, 有趣的方式, 她的美丽的例行改变, 现在她是一个母亲, 和更多.
对妈妈的职责和工作有什么感觉: "我是一个问题规划者,” 嘉莉说. "有时, 我坐在这里, 我认为, "我能做什么, 只是让它更容易对我们大家?’ 我不知道是否有任何明确的答案. 没人给你一本书说, "这是你如何回去工作,’ or ‘Here’s how everybody’s happy.'” 幸, Carrie and Mike share parenting duties and take over for each other when the other one is swamped at work. “I’m lucky that I have a husband that I can give and take with,” 她说. “If he has four [hockey] games this week, it’s like, ‘I’ve got this—you’re going to be sleeping through the night, and I’m going to be getting up [with the baby].'”

On maintaining a positive body image: In a recent interview with People, Carrie said that she after she won American Idol, she took diet supplements to lose weight—but that she now takes a healthier approach to body image. That’s especially true for her post-pregnancy. “Bodies can do the most amazing things, and I feel like being a first-time mom, I gained a whole new respect for my body,” 嘉莉说. “It created another human, and it’s amazing, and he’s just the best thing ever.” Her message to other new mamas? “We place so much emphasis on looks and less on how you feel and how you’re engine’s running,” 她说. “I think if we did more of that, more people would be more accepting and probably even treat their bodies better.”
On how her son has made her change her beauty routine: “A lot of mornings, I’ve got him on my hip while I’m putting my makeup on, [和] I’m trying to keep his hands from grabbing at stuff—it’s a little chaotic,” 她说. Carrie considers a smoky eye her favorite makeup look (“I’m from the South, so I love me some eyeliner!"). But these days, she opts for Almay’s new gel liner (available January 2016 为 $8 at drugstores) instead of liquid liner. “When I’ve got my kid on my hip and I’m trying to put my liner on, a liquid’s not going to work because I’m going to end up with it on the other side of my face.”
On getting ready for the CMAs: One of the reasons the show gets huge ratings (16 million people watched last year) is Carrie’s natural chemistry with co-host Brad Paisley. “I just got a first rough copy of some of the opening monologues and stuff like that,” 她说. As far as her wardrobe goes, Carrie recently had a fitting but won’t know until right before the show goes on which outfits she’ll actually wear. “It’s a lot of fun,” 她说. “I can technically have nine [wardrobe] changes.
