If there’s one celeb I wanted to look like as a teenager, it was Christina Aguilera.
Her blonde tresses, ever-changing eyeshadow and beyond toned stomach were my beauty benchmarks – and inspired plenty of experimentation in both the hair and make-up departments.
Fast forward to now, and the singer’s also a bit of a perfume queen, kicking off 2015 with the launch of her seventh fragrance. But it turns out the beauty guru started out just like the rest of us, telling allure.com her first fragrance was “something I took from my mum’s vanity, I’m sure”.
Despite these humble beginnings, one thing she definitely knows about is platinum blonde hair. Yes, Christina’s had some questionable ‘dos in the past (remember these corn rows?), but she’s stuck with her signature blonde tresses for a while now.
So what’s her advice for fellow blondes? According to the singer, “it’s very important no to over-dry or over-wash.” She swears by Johnson’s® Baby Shampoo – “one beauty tip [my daughter] Summer and I share” (aww) – and also “a hair mask once a month.” (We recommend Redken Blonde Idol Mask or Schwarzkopf Professional BLONDME Keratin Restore Blonde Mask.)
When it comes to her skin, Christina keeps it simple with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser – but to remove that statement make-up, she amps it up with MAC Wipes.
It definitely seems like she’s got her skin and hair routines sorted, but has she ever made a big beauty mistake? Well, apparently not: “I don’t think taking chances on your beauty look can ever be a mistake.”
And that, ladies, is why Christina will always be my beauty idol!
