How to Do Christina Aguliera Makeup

Christina Aguilera is a pop sensation who gained the world’s attention during the late 1990s. Whether Christina is on the red carpet or just strolling around Los Angeles with her son and husband, she looks impeccable. Her flawless skin is almost always accented by semi-dramatic eyes and a dramatic red lip. Her look is often referred to as that of the “pin-up girl”. Christina is certainly a makeup fan, and knows how to apply it. With a steady hand and a few of the right products, you can create your own Christina Aguilera-inspired makeup look.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Mascara
• Lip liner
• Lip gloss
• Cleanser
• Moisturizer
• Foundation
• Powder
• Bronzer
• Blush
• Eye shadow
• Liquid eyeliner

1. Before you apply makeup to your face, cleanse and moisturize your skin. Failure to do so can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Cleanse your skin and towel-dry it gently. Apply your moisturizer. Allow it to be absorbed into your skin for at least 10 minutes.

2. Use your fingers to dot foundation onto your face. Blend the foundation into your skin using a foundation brush, a damp sponge or your fingers. If you have areas that you feel need extra coverage, apply concealer to them. Once your foundation and concealer are finished, set your makeup with face powder.

3. Create the eyes. Choose a natural-looking eye shadow and apply it as a wash on your eyelid. Use a darker eye shadow to contour your eye. Apply it in the crease and then blend the two colors together. Once you finish your eye shadow, apply liquid liner to both of your eyes. Follow up with a coat of your favorite mascara. If you want thicker eyelashes, apply another coat of mascara.

4. Give your skin a glow like the one Christina enjoys. Apply a bronzer to your forehead, your nose and your cheeks. Blend the bronzer into your skin so it is evenly distributed. Then apply a natural-looking pink blush to the apples of your cheeks.

5. Create the lips. Christina loves to rock the red lipstick. Find one that flatters your skin tone. Line your lips with a red lip liner, then fill in your lips with the lipstick. Take a look in the mirror and make sure you don’t have any lipstick on your teeth.

Tips & Warnings

• Take time to find the red lipstick that works best for your skin tone. If you’re stumped, consult a makeup artist at your favorite makeup counter and have her help you find the color that works for you.
• Don’t apply too much bronzer. Instead, apply it lightly and build up color as you desire.
