Jessica Alba’s out-of-character beauty look
She ditched her go-to bronzed look, and we love it
Bronze smoky eyes. Earthy, glowy cheeks. Sun-kissed, tousled brunette waves. This is how one would usually describe Jessica Alba’s look on the red carpet. It is her signature look, after all
Jess' usual go-to makeup look
Not today, though. Yes, the mum-of-two and founder of The Honest Company has ditched her staple hair and makeup combo, opting to hit the Billboard Music Awards red carpet looking superbly fierce.
Gone are the go-to flowing waves; in their place is a sleek, high updo complete with a twisted plait pinned up at the crown. It’s super hero-esque, really.

And look at that striking navy blue eye makeup! It’s a far cry from the neutral bronze tones she’s usually sporting, but the finish is outstanding. By taking the contrasting bold blue hue around her entire eye she’s creating a ‘halo’ effect, which makes her brown eyes stand out tenfold. Add to that the angular cat eye shape of the shadow and you’ve got one sexy, edgy look.
To copy Jessica Alba’s bold blue eye makeup look, arm yourself with one of these deep blue eyeshadows: Revlon ColorStay Shadowlinks in Periwinkle; Max Factor Wild Shadow Pot in Sapphire Rage; Rimmel London Scandaleyes Eye Shadow Stick in Blamed Blue.

Cherie is somewhat of a digital dinosaur, having kick-started her beauty writing career back in 2009 at PRIMPED alongside industry expert Zoë Foster Blake. Since then, her words have appeared online and on paper for BEAUTYcrew, POPSUGAR, beautyheaven, New Idea, and Fitness First, while her marketing know-how has helped brands such as L'Oréal Paris, The Body Shop, A’kin, and Dr. LeWinn’s add a journalistic flair to their digital content. She is a vocal advocate for (physical) sunscreen, is rather fond of a bold lip, and is utterly terrible at styling hair.
