Jessica Alba: Honest Beauty enhances who you are

OHMYGOSSIP — Jessica Alba’s beauty “philosophy” is to use make-up to “enhance who you are”.
The 35-year-old actress – who co-founded her brand The Honest Company in 2012 – has revealed she was inspired to create her own label, which includes a cosmetics line, to ensure her customers don’t “cover up” their natural beauty but to show off their assets.
Speaking in a video with Glamour.com, the brunette beauty said: “Hi I’m Jessica Alba.
“My philosophy around Honest Beauty is instead of covering up who you are, it enhances who you are.”
And the star has admitted a nude and gold eye-liner pencil are her make-up essentials, because her all-time favourite beauty trend is a smoky eye.
She continued: “We are going to show you some of my favourite beauty products.
“I love a smoky eye, this is a great way to get a smoky eye.
“This is an eye opener, what I like about it is it’s the colour of flesh, so it’s not so stark.”
The ‘Into The Blue’ star – who has daughters Honor, eight, and Haven, five, with her husband Cash Warren – has advised people to double up your lipstick as a blusher for when you’re on the go.
Speaking about her beauty tips, she said: “Sometimes if you only have your lip with you and you have a little bit of a stronger colour, you can use that as a cheek to act as a cream blush.
“And usually if you don’t have a cheek, you only have your lip, you only have your fingers and you don’t have a brush.”
Although the star has admitted there are ways to still look beautiful with minimal cosmetics to hand, she has admitted she cannot apply mascara when she is in a rush after having a beauty mishap.
Speaking previously, she said: “I don’t always commit to a mascara, especially if I am in the car driving with the kids, because I have been known to poke my eye, and it is not fun.
“[But] I don’t like to spend more than 20 minutes. I am a 20-minute girl.”
