Gwen Stefani's Makeup Tricks

How to do glam makeup like Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani personifies Old Hollywood glamour. Styled like a 1940s era pinup or looking every bit like a Harajuku Lover, she stands out in any Hollywood crowd. You can recreate Gwen Stefani's makeup with these styling tricks:

Gwen Stefani's Glamour Brows

Don't launch into full-on copycat mode by plucking your brows into oblivion. Instead, score Gwen Stefani inspired eyebrows by playing up your natural arch with the right product. Simply shape the top part of your brows with colored powder, using a slanted, flathead brush that can also be used to apply eyeliner. Eyebrow stencils will help you create a more polished look for everyday. Well-defined eyebrows elongate the shape of the eyes and are an integral part of Gwen Stefani's makeup look.

Gwen Stefani's Eye Makeup With Winged Eye Liner

To give your eye makeup drama, but keep the look clean, make sure the eyelids are void of colors that look too dark or muddy on the skin, especially if you are fair. To look like Gwen Stefanit, apply makeup to your lid in this order: eyeshadow base, concealer, white eye shadow. You can add a touch of taupe eye shadow to achieve depth in the crease. Apply black liquid liner in one continuous sweeping motion, winging it up and out at the outer corner of each eye to create flirty bedroom eyes. Skip dark eyeliner on the bottom. Instead, line the rims of your lower lashes with a white eyeliner and follow with mascara.

Use a pearlized liquid highlighter (sheer, pearly white eye shadow will do the trick) to illuminate the skin. Apply a touch to the top of the cheekbone and down the bridge of the nose for total radiance.

Gwen Stefani's Cherry Red Lips

On lips, go no holds barred in a bright red lipstick that suits your complexion. For a sophisticated but slightly rocker chick effect like Gwen, keep the lips matte. High sheen gloss makes the look more playful (think Harajuku).--Stephanie Simons
