 ‘It’ girl and model Alice Dellal has become a regular face on the London party scene and is always front row at the hottest fashion events. Along with pals Daisy Lowe and Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco (whose brother Pierre she’s rumoured to be dating) Alice makes up a group of elite trendsetters. Her style is inspired by 90s grunge, but she keeps her make-up very simple to show off her naturally striking looks.
Half-Brazilian Alice spends her free time chilling on the glamorous Copacabana beach and topping up her tan. If a trip to Blackpool is the closest you get to the sunshine then try using Estée Lauder’s Quick-Dry Sunless Spray. Your tan will begin to appear in less than an hour and it leaves the skin feeling soft with an even tone. Her near perfect skin can be achieved with the use of a reliable base like 17’s Long Wear Long Lasting Foundation. It covers up blemishes and won’t fade throughout the day.
Alice’s smokey eyes are the result of a good eyeliner like MAC’s Eye Pencil in Ebony. It is soft and rich to provide that all important smouldering effect - perfect for a good night out. To soften the look use MEMEME’s Advanced Wear Eyeshadow, which has a shimmery irridescent quality. Finish off the eyes with lashings of Blinc’s fabulous Mascara. It is water resistant and forms individual tubes around the lashes rather than painting them like regular mascaras. It won’t run, clump or flake leaving you free to flutter to your hearts desire.
2true’s True Colour Blusher in Shade 1 is great for giving your cheeks a dusky pink texture like Alice’s – don’t use anything too bright or feminine as her look has more of an edge. She doesn’t use colour on her lips, but a clear gloss instead like L.U.C.I. Color Fever Gloss by Lancôme. It magnifies the lips providing them with an all-over shine for that essential model pouting. Nail Inc do a great range of colours that are perfect for the grunge look, including this bright orange Hans Place. It doesn’t matter if it’s chipped as it will add to your rock-and-roll chic style.
Finally try Jerome Russel Bblonde Cream Peroxide to add some streaks to your mane, but remember shaving one half of your head is not essential!
