Alba, however, felt explaining the tattoo that she got in the wake of a breakup was “unnecessary.” Colbert dropped the subject, but moved on to taste-testing the Honest Company’s hair and beauty products, which are not for eating. As Alba watched in horror, [Colbert](http://time.com/4011585/stephen-colbert-interview-transcripts/?iid=sr-link1) spritzed the sea salt spray in his mouth, while teasing her: “That’s really salty,” he said, adding, “Jessica Alba says you can put it on popcorn!” At last, Alba meted out her revenge by giving Colbert a very public—and very silly looking—makeover: “I turned you into a [hipster](http://time.com/3658544/carrie-brownstein-portlandia-sleater-kinney/?iid=sr-link3) millennial!” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4485312/stephen-colbert-jessica-alba-makeover-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4485312/stephen-colbert-jessica-alba-makeover-video/"},"headline":"Jessica Alba Gave Stephen Colbert a Hipster Makeover","datePublished":"2016-09-09T16:33:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:36:21.160Z","description":"Stephen Colbert also taste tested The Honest Company’s beauty products","url":"https://time.com/4485312/stephen-colbert-jessica-alba-makeover-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","beauty","fashion","stephen colbert","Hipsters","the late show","jessica alba"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4485312/stephen-colbert-jessica-alba-makeover-video/","name":"Jessica Alba Gave Stephen Colbert a Hipster Makeover"}}]}] ```
