Gwen Stefani is changing up her signature look -  bright red lipstick, which she has been wearing for years. “Right now I’m feeling fushia” Gwen told InStyle magazine. When asked if she’s given up her signature red lipstick for good she responded, “Not a chance. But I love to layer tons of different shades to create new colors.”

While Gwen didn’t reveal what shades she likes to mix and match she did share how she gets her lipstick last longer. “I start with a matte lipstick that’s really dry, then I put a more creamy moist lipstick on top.”

To maintain her signature look Gwen says her best advice is to stay out of the sun, and when it comes to her platinum blonde her she refuses to give up her secret!

Gwen Stefani attended the 26th Annual Night of Stars Hosted by Fashion Group International in New York and showed off her new look – longer hair!

Glamour girl Gwen Stefani loves to change up her look, but she has some staple beauty items she always uses. Gwen’s favorite drug-store beauty buy is Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Time Renewal Shampoo. “My hairstylist Danilo turned me on to this one, I just do whatever he tells me and hope for the best,” Gwen explains.

To keep her makeup in place while on the go, or even on stage, Gwen dusts her face with MAC’s Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder. Gwen is a fan of Keihl’s and she loves their Bath and Shower Liquid Body Cleanser in Mango, “This reminds me of when I first met Gavin.” After she bathes, Gwen slathers on Epicuren Kukui Coconut After Bath Moisturize, because she says she’s a coconut lover!

Singer/Fashionista Gwen Stefani reveals her top five beauty secrets in the September issue of Glamour magazine. Gwen has been known for her platinum blonde hair, and fire engine red lips – she has such a love of pink, she even wore a pink wedding dress when she wed rocker Gavin Rossdale in 2002.

1. “When I want my red lipstick to look more subtle, I apply it straight from the tube. For a more matte look, I’ll put some power on top,” Gwen says about switching up her signature look.

2. “I’m into the Marilyn Monroe thing!” To get her liner pefect, Gwen’s makeup artist traces liquid over pencil. Good idea!

3. Gwen uses a peach skin-corrector pen to cover up dark circle. Try Dior SkinFlash (I use LoLa Cosmetics Creme Concealer in ‘Fair’)

4. To moisturize Gwen keeps it simple and soft, “I straight-up love Johnson’s Baby lotion.” I wonder if she shares it with son Kingston!?

5. Gwen knows the importance of wearing SPF, unfortunately from years of sun damage growing up in California. “Growing up in California, I was a lifeguard and spent too much time in the sun.” She now wears SPF 50 daily to keep her porcelain skin white and wrinkle-free.

Gwen Stefani has always been know for her outrageous style – even being pregnant with her second child hasn’t kept her from toning down her looks. Gwen recently kept cool with her hair in cute braided knots. To copy Gwen’s look divide your hair into six even sections and create a messy braid with each section. Twist each braid into a loose knot and secure with a bobby pin that matches your hair color.
