LONDON – The 26-year-old model-turned-television presenter always looks radiant, and says she achieves her natural glow by limiting the amount of make-up she wears.

Alexa is blessed with a naturally pretty face and good skin, so her cosmetics bag is fairly small, although there are a few key products she swears by.

“Décleor oils, pawpaw lip balm, my Mac blusher and some mascara. I pack light,” responded the star when asked by Stylist magazine for her beauty essentials.

The British celebrity does like experimenting with lipstick sometimes too, especially for a night out. Alexa particularly appreciates vintage glamour, and cites 60s film siren Brigitte Bardot as one of her beauty idols.

Alexa is also a fan on the cropped hair sported by many women in that period. She says looking back at old pictures from the era inspires her to consider going for the chop.

“Julie Christie, Brigitte Bardot, anyone from that Sixties era. I love the whole short bob, big eyes, pale lips thing,” she answered when asked whose style she admires. “It makes me want to crop my hair again.” — COVER MEDIA
