Get The Look: Eva Mendes

One of the hottest Latina actresses on the planet, Eva Mendes easily claims the crown for her relaxed, ‘I’m on holiday’ kind of hair and understated make-up. Her signature voluminous waves and subtle smokey eyes are easier to master than you’d think.

Eva Mendes’ Relaxed Waves

Start with the basics: Shampoo, Conditioner and Heat Protecting Spray or Cream.

If you are not blessed with natural thick hair, grab some thickening spray to boost your hair volume before blow-drying. You can also rough-dry your hair by blow-drying them upside down whilst massaging the roots for extra volume.

For this wavy look, use a round brush, the longer the hair the bigger round brush. After rough blow-drying, when the hair is about 80% dry, start wrapping medium-size sections of hair around your brush and keep blow-drying with the nozzle close to each curled strand.

Use big Velcro rollers to wrap sections of your blow-dried hair and let them cool down. Take them out afterwards and fix with the hair spray.

Eva Mendes’ Make-up

Eva’s makeup is all about the perfect skin. Her foundation base either has a velvety texture or a slight glow. Use warm, earthy colours and peachy tones. Smokey brown eye shadow and a subtle liquid eyeliner flick on the eyes, with few layers of mascara. Apply peachy blusher on the cheeks with a subtle highlighting effect. Eyebrows are also a focal point for Miss Mendes, they’re perfectly arched, use a pencil and brown eye shadow combo with angled brush to achieve this shape. Eva loves nude lips, this time there’s a hint of a pink colour, apply lipstick and dab it in or subtle pink lip gloss and take off the excess shine.

Eva Mendes’ Secret Beauty Tips:

To keep her skin gorgeous, Eva cleanses hers with rose water instead of tap water. For the beautiful, shiny hair Eva applies extra amount of a hair conditioner but instead of washing it out, leaves it in overnight wearing shower cap and washes it out in the morning.
