Get the Look: Jessica Alba

There are so many reasons why this works; the simple lines, the almost careless tousled hair do and the fact she’s kept it simple. Proof once again that nothing can beat a white shirt and a black high waist pencil skirt. Doing ‘the classic’ can really be a beautiful thing, and covering skin can be just as alluring as not.

This strapless LBD is its own best accessory and Jessica knows this; choosing to keep her hair, makeup and accessories simple, allowing the classic lines of the dress to show through. We love the sweetheart neckline of Jessica’s strapless dress, so found a dress that replicates the feel but has a more figure flattering loose cut. A great bronzer gives the skin the necessary colour, whilst our accessories are simple and chic!

Jessica Alba always looks fantastic and it’s not due to packing on the makeup. Jessica knows what enhances her olive skin are simple natural colours that just sharpen her own gorgeous features. A great blend of caramels and bronzes means she literally glows. My favourite product to achieve a great rosy glow on the cheeks has to be the Revlon Beyond Natural Liptint, use on the lips or blend into the apples of the cheeks to get a beautiful natural rosy glow.
