Christina Aguilera's Makeup Tricks

How to do your makeup like Christina Aguilera

Her look channels a modern day Marilyn Monroe, harking back to the golden age of glamour. One one hand, Christina Aguilera is an over-the-top pop princess (think Lady Marmalade), but there's no denying she's a serious artist. She's the ultimate style chameleon with hairstyles ranging from dirrrty platinum blond to raven-hued. Of late, her mature side shines through in modern glamour makeup that's little bit Betty Boop and a total play on 1940s burlesque. You can channel Christina Aguilera's makeup with these tricks or try it on in our virtual makeup studio.

Get Christina Aguilera-inspired eyebrows by playing up your natural arch with product: shape the top part of your brows with colored powder or pencil. Brow stencils will help you create a more dramatic look for evening. Well-defined eyebrows elongate the shape of your eyes and are a key part of Christina Aguilera's makeup.

To give your eye makeup theatrical flair like Christina, keep the eyelids bare, save for taupe eye shadow applied in the crease. Apply black liquid liner in one continuous sweeping motion, winging it upward and outward at the outer corner of each eye. Skip dark eyeliner on the bottom. Instead, line the rims of your lower lashes with white eyeliner and follow with black mascara. Light blue contact lenses offer a finishing touch..--Stephanie Simons
