Feminin Sante (FR) – January 2010

Clippings from 2010

The kooky high-fashion shoot, called Kid Tested – Jessica Approved, is something a little bit different for the A-lister, pictured having a tantrum with a creepy looking doll. She looked uber-chic dressed in the likes of Lanvin, Marni, Kenny and Louis Vuitton topped off with Charles Albert jewellery.

We’re loving the beauty too. Her hair is piled on top of her head,the make-up is bold and bright and her nails a fiery red.

In the accompanying interview, Jessica revealed she has had to re-evaluate her priorities since having her daughter, Honor Marie.

‘If Im going to be away from her (Honor), it needs to be worth it,’ she said.

‘I dont want to be away from her doing some big silly movie where I’m running around in a leotard shooting people for six months.
‘I’m not saying Ill never do that, but right now, that’s not where my head’s at.’ (Instyle.co.uk)

High quality scan from ELLE (Korea)’s June edition are now available to view in our gallery. A huge thanks to Ginnifer for scanning it for us. Click on the previews below to view them.

Beauty editor Sophie Qureshi spoke to Hollywood A-lister Jessica Alba and our very own Cheryl Cole to find out who’s really the most high maintenance…

You’re now the face of Revlon but have you always been into beauty?
Yeah, always. I grew up watching my mom put her face on before she left the house and I used to walk around in her high heels when I was about two. I always used to play with make-up every Halloween I made myself up to look like my mom, but browner!

So your mum was a big influence?
My mom’s always been into beauty – she have me a perm when I was seven! She was going to cosmetology school and she needed a model to practise on! She did everything on me. She put a full face of make-up on me when I was 10 for the swim team picture – full-on winged eyeliner, the works. I looked ridiculous!

Eek, sounds traumatising! So what’s your off-duty make-up routine?
Concealer, Revlon’s cream blush, and a light tinted base or moisturiser. I usually steer clear of foundation on days off, or I use Revlon Beyond Natural Skin Matching Foundation, £9,99 – it’s a really lightweight base – and just curl my lashes to open my eyes.

What about skincare?
Cleanse, tone, moisturise – all the basics. Right now I like Weleda, or Dr Hauschka Rose Day Cream, £21, and Yon-Ka toners and cleansers (www.yonka.com). When I have a lot of build-up, I like to use Kate Somerville Clearing Mask, £42.

What make-up tips have you picked up from the professionals?
Spot coverage is a good one. You can do it either with a concealer or with a thicker foundation like Revlon ColorStay, £11.99, and you just go wherever you have a reddish tone or dark spots. Just target anywhere were the colour is a bit off. I usually do it with my fingers.

How does British girls’ style compare to the LA look?
London’s definitely a bit more fashion forward than LA! I guess LA is safe – they wear Uggs and mimi skirts. I like London’s style – it’s edgy, urban. Even if there’s someone doing hippy chic, it still feels appropriate for the city – it doesn’t feel like you should be running through a field in the south of France! It’s very cool – the girls are very cool here.

What about beauty maintenance? Do you think we Brit girls are lazy compared to American girls?
I don’t like overly-coiffed. I think girls in LA have too much time on their hands sometimes! I like it when a look’s not perfect – a bit of a smudgy eye is nice.

So what’s your red-carpet look?
I don’t really have one – it just depends on what I’m wearing. I keep it simple,  though. My high-maintenance make-up look is a dark lipstick, mascara and eyeliner. That’s my thing -  a dark lip!

Any beauty faux pas?
Oh, tons! A brown lipliner and brown eyeliner at the same time – and that’s all I wore! No lip colour – just the liner!

What are your thoughts on make-up for guys?
A friend of mine is a rock star and he wears eyeliner on stage and it looks good on him but, generally, guys should probably stay away from make-up. If my husband went near my liner, I’d kill him!

And are you an exercise fan?
I used to send a lot more time working out. Now I’d rather spend time either sleeping or playing with my daughter.

Are you an age-gracefully girl or a fight-it-all-the-way girl?
I think I might be an age-gracefully girl. My mom will do whatever it takes but my grandmother aged gracefully and I look most like her. Her beauty regime was bizarre – Vaseline on the face and lipstick on her cheeks! She had no wrinkles forever and was very beautiful. She always looked amazing.

So is it never say never with surgery?
Oh, for sure. Talk to me in 10 years!

People’s World Most Beautiful People 2010 this year includes a special section dedicated to the ‘Jessica’s, a name that first appeared as a character in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice in the late 16th Century.

‘In the 80′s when most of these stars were born, Jessica was the most popular girl’s name in America. It means ‘He sees’. Feast your eyes’. The Jessica’s featured in this section are: Biel, Simpson, Capshaw, Stroup, Szhor, Lowndes, White, Stam and ofcourse Alba.

Jessica reveals “On my birth certificate, my name was Farrahdawn Louisa Alba! After I was born, my parents took one look at my jet black hair, olive skin and round features and decided I was a Jessica Marie.” Click on the preview below to view the scan.

Jessica Alba graces the cover of the new issue of Tatler magazine, as mentioned in the dailymail. I’ve updated the gallery with 10 HQ scans from the June issue of Tatler Magazine. Click on the previews below to view then and read some of the interview highlights below. Enjoy!!

On her role in Machete
‘I have never played a Latina in a film before so this is my first time, I’ve always thought if I’m going to play a Latina character, I want her to be this dynamic and strong woman, like the women I grew up with.’

Michael Winterbottom on Jessica Alba
‘When I met her she talked very interestingly about the character. She was very keen to play the part and had a real understanding of what Joyce was like as a person. It would have been so easy to play her as a femme fatale but she gave her dept and made her real.’

Having daughter Honor
‘After having a child you instantly feel mortal. I believe you’re here for a reason and I had to figure out what that was. I mean, what I had been doing was fine, but I felt like I was going through the motions’. Having Honor made Alba ‘reassess why I was in this business. I have the luxury of being in an industry where I can sometimes be part of this artistic community and then I can shift to my family, where I am a mother and a wife’.

According to the Dailymail, Jessica Alba will feature in next months issue of Tatler magazine. Hopefully this will be a cover. The above photo was taken by Guy Aroch in March, and you can view 2 behind the scenes photos below which Jessica shared via twitter/facebook. Ill scan the magazine ones it hits the newstands.

Actress Jessica Alba has spoken of the anguish of playing a prostitute murdered by a serial killer.

The 29-year-old described filming the brutal scenes with co-star Casey Affleck for The Killer Inside Me and said: ‘It was horrible when he was doing that stuff.’

She defended director Michael Winterbottom, who has been heavily criticised for the film’s graphic violence.

She told Tatler magazine: ‘It’s difficult material to tackle.’

The film tells the story of a small-town sheriff who becomes a psychotic killer.

Scenes were so violent Jessica needed extensive make-up to disfigure her face. She said: ‘It was eight hours of make-up throughout the day. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t lie down, I couldn’t see out.’
