The Latest in Celebrity Fashion, Beauty and Fitness

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.

The stars on the red carpet at the MTV VMA’s looked fabulous, from their hair to their makeup. Lindsay Lohan kept her makeup subtle with the focus on her long, long extensions. The Hills Audrina Patridge looked glamorous and rocked a blue eye liner to bring out her green/hazel eyes.

Christina Aguilera’s makeup looked severe, probably since she was going to be performing on stage later that night.

Ashlee Simpson had a pregnancy glow and kept the focus on her eyes with a smokey look. Heidi Montag always looks great, I’d love to see her try something different though.

Jordan Sparks created a glamorous, smokey eye – and finished off the look with pulling her hair back into a chic ponytail.

Lauren Conrad always looks flawless, I love the way she did her hair for this event. It’s very dressy, but not overdone.

Miley Cyrus looked about her age with some subtle makeup. On the other hand, Pink looked very “frosty” with her silver hair and silvery eyemakeup.

Rihanna added a blonde streak to her hair for a Glam look at the VMA’s. Taylor Swift looked ultra-glam with wing-tipped eyeliner and a soft rosey pink lip gloss.

Katy Perry went super-glam with cherry red lipstick chapstick and a sweet diamond bow hairclip. Her look is very retro, pinup – but it totally works on the red carpet.

Christina Aguilera gave a great interview to InStyle magazine abotu her favorite makeup and her beauty routine.  Christina has always been known to have a love for makeup, and is rarely ever seen without having a full face on.

Her ‘Can’t Live Without’ Product:
Dior Abricot Nutritional Creme
“I rub this all over my lips and cuticles at night.”

Christina’s Top 6 Beauty Picks

1. Davines Momo Conditioner
“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
“Whenever I’m in the studio, even if I’m wearing sweatpants, I have my red lipstick on.”

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

5. Inspire by Christina Aguilera
“It’s a combination of all my favorite scents.”

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.
