As 2019 comes to an end, we have many beauty trends to be thankful for—neon and diamond-studded liners are now a must thanks to HBO’s Euphoria, bangs are back and better than ever because although we’re about to enter a new decade, we still can’t get enough of the early 2000s and most importantly, this year, we learned that as many skincare or beauty products we use, self-care is crucial when it comes to showing off your best self. One celeb who has taught us all a lesson (or two) in 2019 about all things beauty is Eva Mendes .
In the last year, the Cuban-American star has opened up and shared with her fans just how down-to-earth she is when it comes to her beauty. From bargain haircuts to her everyday skincare routine, these are Eva’s best beauty moments of the year!
So 80s
For Halloween, Eva debuted a faux bob which she described as being perfect for a “suspicious Cuban Tia” costume. The wig featured wispy, layered bangs colored in a honey caramel shade.
Facial Roller Sessions
In 2019, Eva taught us that a face massage roller is a must for your beauty cabinet. The actress keeps hers in the fridge and uses it to “de-puff.”
Headband Babe
During the Toronto International Film Festival Eva wore a gorgeous updo with a royal blue headpiece. She also accessorized with pieces from her past. “Wearing abuela’s earrings and ring that I’ll treasure forever,” she shared about the look.
Blast from the Past
Eva isn’t afraid to doll up dramatically. For one her looks, she and her makeup artist María Vargas-Guzman decided to go extra glam with bright pink eyeshadow and striking lashes. Many fans thought she got plastic surgery, but she assured them it was all makeup and hair. “No. Wig,” she responded to a fan asking if that was her real hair. “And my face is done up to look like I’ve had you know, enhancements ...ha."
Bargain Haircut
One of the star’s most popular posts featured her getting a haircut at Supercuts. “Ok this is a terrible angle but thought you guys would like to know that yea, I stop into @supercuts every once in awhile. Y que?!”
She Woke Up Like This
The cardinal beauty rule is to never go to sleep with makeup on, but it’s hard to follow, especially after a night out. In this beauty moment, Eva woke up with her full makeup on from the night before. “No, I didn’t wash my makeup off last night,” she wrote adding that she likes having her falsies on the next morning. “I know, I know so bad, yadda yadda but I like the ‘next day of the night before’ eye make up look. My skin disagrees tho.”
Waves that Stay
Eva shared a behind-the-scenes picture of her getting ready before an event. The trick to her natural waves looking flawless for hours? Wearing several rollers around her head!
Hydration, Hydration, Hydration!
One beauty secret in Eva’s routine is keeping her lips mega hydrated. The star shared a hilarious selfie of her lips getting a moisturizing mask while she was getting ready.
