HER MAKE UP

Though Alexa is known for framing her gorgeous eyes with perfectly drawn cat-eye flicks,makeup artist Sha Shamsi gave her a different look for our cover, layering on eye shadow in three hues – dark brown, light brown and soft pink – to create a gradated effect. She finished with a poppy blusher and nude pink lipstick so as not to detract from Alexa’s eyes.
