Creating the classic look for the beautiful Gwen Stefani! When I hear Gwen I immediately think of her ability to rock the red lip like no other. Her eyes are amazing too and she always accents them with a wing and big lashes or just lashes and simple. Her skin is always glowing which we all want, am I right?

Steps (11 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Prep the face with primer, I used a brightening one to help get that Gwen Stefani glow. (Setting Powder shown here is done after foundation and concealer)

  2. 2

    With a damp Beauty Blender I applied my favorite foundation all over my face.

  3. 3

    Applied concealer to areas that needed it including under my eyes and chin.

  4. 4

    Using a matte flesh tone color all over the lids for easy blending.

  5. 5

    Using the shade below the flesh tone (second on right from top) apply to the outer corner only on lids.

  6. 6

    I also used the light brown sage (second on left from top) to fill in my brows. Making sure I created a more rounded shape other than a pointed arch like she had.

  7. 7

    With black eyeliner of your choice, apply a thick and shorter cat eye liner on the top only and leaving the lower lash line alone.

  8. 8

    Apply your favorite black mascara, then apply full false lashes.

  9. 9

    Using a contouring color (in this case Warmth) apply to the hollows of your cheek bones blending to look natural.
    Using a brighter pink apply to the apples of your cheeks for the doll-like effect.

  10. 10

    Apply shimmering highlighter to the apples of cheeks, cheekbones, above the arch of brows, cupid's bow, and down the bridge of the nose.

  11. 11

    Line your lips with a red lip liner pencil (I used Bite Beauty in 082) and apply a bright candy red lipstick. (I used Bite Beauty's Tannin)
