Gwen Stefani’s 5 Beauty Secrets

August 11, 2008

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.

Find The Perfect Red Lipstick Like Scarlett Johansson

August 8, 2008

Scarlett Johansson lit up the red carpet at the premiere of her movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona with bright red lipstick. Finding the right shade of red lipstick for your skin tone can be difficult, below are some tips:

Fair Skin: Try Clinique in Angel Red. It has a blue-violet undertone and looks striking against fair skin. Or, go for Dior Replenishing Lip Color in Action Red. This is more of a brownish-red, but it’s still bold.

Medium to Dark Skin: You can handle more intense color without it looking too garish. Vincent Longo Lipstain Lipstick in Belle Etoile is a rich, deep red with a little luster. For an even more defiant stamp, try Kat Von D’s Painted Love Lipstick in Underage Red.
