Jessica Alba wears many hats. Mother, wife, entrepreneur, actress and of course, natural beauty. Never one to over do it on the eyeshadow or be too heavy-handed on the bronzer, Jessica has always been an advocate of the ‘less is more’ approach when it comes to her makeup routine.
Which is why it came as no surprise that her contour technique was one of deliberate placement and minimal product.
In a video posted to her TikTok account, Jessica demonstrated her daily face sculpting routine. Captioning the video (which has already amassed over 200 thousand views) “my easy way to contour using concealer.”

Jessica Alba’s contour technique…
To “add dimension to her face,” Jessica takes a concealer up to two shades darker than her skin, Jessica dots it across her forehead, down her cheekbones, on each side of her nose and along her jawline.
After some vigorous blending, she then follows with a lighter concealer, dotting it at the centre parts of her face, to ensure the final product looks “flawless and seamless.”
And which concealer does Jessica use? In a surprise to, well, no one, it’s the Fresh Flex Concealer from her own range, Honest Beauty.
Sadly for us Aussies, Honest Beauty don’t currently ship down under. However, to successfully execute this technique, you can use any concealer you like.
A favourite of ours? The Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lift and Firm Concealer ($50, Myer).

I wish I had flawless and stunning skin like her to begin with.
Same. Not a pore in sight.
or a wrinkle or dark circle
She does have beautiful skin. So lucky
Yes Saffy86 so do I but she has added to her look with this technique
Yes, she always looks stunning!
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
She does have great skin but I think the lighting also really helps!
Looks so easy with fantastic results.
I reckon I’ll give it a go. Looks easy enough.
Do you have the different coloured concealers on hand? Let us know how it goes!
I just bought Kosas concealer which I’m yet to open so I now know what I’ll be doing with it first! How fun!
good on you and good luck
Interesting technique, the result is great.And she looks gorgeous.
Wish I could put a lot of dots on my face and then look like this!!
Haha! Yeah, me too!
I agree Normap -I would have to go back a long way in time
She made that look so easy!
yes I agree it makes me feel like giving it a go
Wow Jessica you are lovely and this really looks great
I’m too fair for regular bronzers or contours, so I sometimes use a foundation that’s too dark, & apply it strategically to contour with. A concealer would do the same job.
The dark foundation for contour is a good idea!
I contour with blush. Called draping.
Her brand looks quite nice
Jessica Alba looks absolutely beautiful love her contouring trick.
I cannot contour. I’d need proper lessons before I even attempted it.
I love this technique and would give it a try.
this techique does give a nice lift
That just looks like too much effort
nah, prefer no makeup, or just a lippy atm
I think everyone has very own contouring techniques.
I often use a concealer only too
I think it looks really good and natural looking
I’ve been seeing the contour trick in a lot of those Vogue Beauty routines videos.
Interesting technique. It helps having great skin like hers
nice, I really like it. That’s kind of how I do my makeup. but I don’t use a lighter concealer
Beautiful skin makes contouring easy.
She has great bone structure already
She makes this look easy.
Jessica is lovely
