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.

Glam rocker Gwen Stefani shared her beauty secrets with Marie Claire magazine, the new mommy and singer says she relies on these few items to maintain her fierce look.

1. Pantene Pro-V Style Sheer Volume Hairspray & Ricky’s Smooth and Bungee Elastics
“I like to play with my hair. When you’re pregnant, you’re tempted to change your style radically. I’ve had to resist!”

2. Harajuku Lovers fragrances in G, Lil’ Angel, Music, Love and Baby
“Each bottle is a replica of one of my backup dancers – who I miss so much now that we’re not on tour! I wanted Baby to have a baby-powder scent and G to be fruit.”

3. L.A.M.B Linstead Clutch
“Of course I’m always carrying a L.A.M.B. bag.”

4. MAC Matte lipstick in Russian Red
“My husband [Gavin Rossdale] loves me in red lipstick and I still just want to impress him.”

5. MAC Fawntastic Cream Colour Base
“We used this at the last L.A.M.B. show.”

6. Kiehl’s Cucumber Essence
“I lean toward scented oils that are sweet – like cucumber, coconut, pear. Musky scents are too serious.”

Kelly Ripa is sharing some of her makeup and beauty tips on her new Beauty Blog. Kelly shares everything from what skincare products she uses to what color shadows and glosses she wears.

Kelly’s makeup artist, Michelle Champagne, gives details on what colors she applies on Kelly day to day.

Michelle says, “I use smokey earthy tones to contour the eyes. The brow bone is usually highlighted in a bisque with the slightest shimmer. The lid of the eye, usually shaded with a hit of copper or ginger to accentuate her blue eyes and make the white of the eyes brighter. Under the eye is shaded with MAC paint pot in Constructivist.”

Michelle goes on to list some of her favorite shadow sets that she uses on Kelly, “Nars India Song, Isolde, and Surbaya, Longo shadow trio in Topaz Dulux, MAC shadows Omega, Wedge, Era, Vapor, Nylon, Bisque and Jest.”

For lips Kelly’s makeup artist lines in a neutral skin tone like MAC Spice or Bobbi Brown Brownie liner.

“We use Scott Barnes Lipslicks, all of them are gorgeous, especially Suggestive. MAC MidiMave lipstick is one of my favorites, along with MAC Tinted Lipglass in C-Thru, LycheeLux, Florabundance, and Underage.”

I love when celebrities share their makeup and beauty advice!

Kim Kardashian recently dished on her blog her makeup tricks and secrets. Find out below what products Kim always uses for her photo finish look!

#1 I always start with a clean face. Then I put on Intuit ‘Photo Shoot.’ Intuit is a great company and I love the names of their products. Photo Shoot is a make up primer. I put it on after my moisturizer, which basically is like a moisturizer that will fill the pours on your face which will help set the foundation so it will last longer.
