Christina Aguilera’s Makeup Tips

Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera revealed some of her most coveted beauty secrets with Elle Magazine.

On creating the perfect cat eye:

Make sure you have a very steady hand! Also, I sit Indian style right in front of the mirror so I can see exactly what I’m doing. Oh, and I use an angle eyeliner brush.

On upkeeping her blonde locks:

Baby powder for blonde hair. When you don’t have time to shampoo, it makes hair smooth and soft, and it lightens up the color. Klorane Dry Shampoo works great too.

On maintaining clear skin:

I never go to sleep without washing my face. I swear by M.A.C. Wipes. I like to keep it pretty basic – take care of my skin, drink water, and get plenty of rest.

Her new beauty regimen now that she has a child:

Moisturizer, foundation, lop balm, and lipstick are my daily essentials. M.A.C. Hyper Real foundation has a touch of shimmer that makes my skin glow.

On her new Mod look:

For my last album my image was inspired by the 20’s and 30’s – it was very glam. Now I’m combining 60’s mod elements like liquid eyeliner with metallic accents and straight hair and bangs. My lips used to be the focal point, but I’m getting more creative with my eyes.

On her favorite sunless tanning lotion:

I’ve been loyal to Au Courant Instant Sunless Tanning Lotion for years. It’s a lifesaver on tour when I can’t get outside much, plus I hate the sun – it makes skin age.

On her favorite lip balm:

I use Dior Creme Abricot every night before bed. It’s a nail cream, but you can use it for a lot more. I’ll put it on my lips.

Christina also reveals that she uses Nar Lipliner in Jungle Red to outline her famous cherry red lips.

Christina’s Top 6 Beauty Picks

“This has a good, thick texture and really feels like it’s getting in.”

2. Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer
“I like makeup that doesn’t dry out my skin.”

3. Dior Rouge Lipstick

4. Decleor Aromessence Ylang Ylang Night Balm
“Moisturizing is big for me.”

5. Inspire by Christina Aguilera

6. MAC Eye Shadow in Smoke & Diamonds
“Love these shadows. I have a lot of colors.”

Here is the full interview:

You seem to have fun with hair and makeup. When did that start?
I’ve aways been a girlie girl. I used to sit at my mom’s vanity and play with her perfume and lipstick. I’ve had a love affair with makeup since Day1.

Your new fragrance, Inspire, is due out this month. Tell us about it.
I wanted to put my own flavor into it so it’s all about radiating sex appeal but still feeling comfortable in your own skin. The combination of tuberose, freesia and gardenia definitely has a musky, provocative vibe.

Do you think women should wear perfume every day?
Absolutely! Pregnancy made my nose very sensitive to different smells – especially the way other people smell. And you never know when you’ll be in a room with someone who has a nose like that, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.

How else has mothrehood affected your beauty routine?
Maybe mothers have less time to do specific regimens, but they have this glow about them because they’re so happy on the inside. My little guy [Max, 7 months] lights up my whole world.

What about the odd beauty indulgence?
I’m not really big on crazy expensive treatments; I like to go pretty basic and take care of my skin.

How would you describe your look?
With every record I put out, I make a drastic change. I like to try new things and not take myself too seriously.
