Get the Manga-inspired look of Rita Ora

Rita Ora’s retro lashes, luminous skin and bubblegum-pink bob are surprisingly easy to emulate. Rachel Marie Walsh has the scoop on her Manga-inspired look.

Pink hair is a fun and flattering look, especially if light blondes suit your skin-tone. A temporary version of this look takes a lot of hair chalk. L’Oreal Professional Hairchalk in Sweet Sixteen Pink, €13.99 at Darcy’s salon, Paul Street, Cork and allbeauty.com, is relatively easy to apply and remove. Keep in mind that your base colour needs to be very fair for the pink to take on Rita’s pastel hue. The chalk will show up any dryness so is best for well-conditioned locks. Fudge Paint Box in Pink Moon, €10.27 at www.lookfantastic.com , is a semi-permanent option that lasts about 20 washes.

Rita owes her Rich Tea-biscuit complexion to James Read.
