If you swept over Gwen Stefani’s Met Gala makeup yesterday, you might want to go back and take a second look. It turns out the singer did it herself and Gwen if you’re reading this, we’d like to book your services.
A far cry from her usual red lip and black eyeliner (always a killer combination), the singer wore blue eyeliner and a glistening nude lip to showcase products from her own makeup line.
So not only was Gwen her own makeup artist, but she even made the products she used. Ok, overachiever.
Gwen Stefani’s Met Gala makeup breakdown
Putting her own makeup to the test on one of the most-watched red carpets of the year sure was a risky move, but Gwen really did pull it off.
The star of the show was her blue eyeliner, courtesy of the GXVE Line It Up Clean 24-Hr Gel Pencil Waterproof Eyeliner in ‘Bathwater’. The shade is a vibrant electric blue with a metallic finish. If you’re after a similar shade, try the NYX Metallic Eyeliner in ‘Teal’ (19.95 at NYX). Here’s a closer look:
Just look at that glistening flick! We also have a sneaky suspicion that she was wearing a yet-to-be-released bronze version to line her lower lids.
According to marie claire, other GXVE products used were the All Time Prime to prep her skin, and the Hella On Point Ultra Fine Eyebrow Pencil in ‘Shade 2’. Her brows did look feathery and flawless.
As for her lip colour, it was reportedly a custom mix of two upcoming nude shades: ‘Tragic Me’ and ‘Stomp Box’.
In the US, Gwen’s GXVE brand is readily available at Sephora, but it’s yet to hit shores here in Australia. So in the meantime, we’ll be keeping an eye out for dupes…
What do you think of Gwen’s Met Gala makeup? Would you wear blue eyeliner?
She looks so pretty and I think younger too. Maybe she’s had some work done?! She did a great job at doing her own makeup. I wouldn’t wear blue eyeliner but she really suits it.
I would say so. If you look back at her No Doubt days, she was different looking to this.
Yes, it is norm for most people chosen to be in the spotlight. Gwen was flat chested and thin lips. Change is big. Botox too and all the little things on the way. At least well done on gwen.
Her nose looks very different – unless she’s contoured the hell out of it, haha!
Most likely. Still beautiful. Hope she doesn’t get too much more work done. Doesn’t go well when that happens.
She looks great, love the lip colour
Her makeup looks great and I love her neon green outfit!
Everything looks good. Makeup and outfit
She looks great. I think she’s had some surgery too – I didn’t recognise her initially.
She looks stunning always so youthful! Good on her!!
Gwen Steffani has always looked youthful to me, I love the playful blue eye liner.
She does look great. I do think she has had some work done as I didn’t recognise her at first.
Her products sound great – sustainable throughout and high pigment payoff. Would love to try them and can’t deny how good she looks.
love her outfit and yes her makeup looks great too – I think we tend to know what suits us and she would have had plenty of MUA’s do her makeup before that I think she would have used as lessons to do her own makeup. Great job Gwen!
Yes sometimes it is just as well to do your own makeup. At least you know what you are getting.
Absolutely yes!
I did’t recognise her at all! She must have had plastic surgery as she looks like a completely different person.
Yeah I also notice a much fuller look to her face overall too.
Do love a bit of blue liner for sure! Do not like clothing Gwen was chosen to present at gala.
Wow she is lovely and her make up is terrific
Fabolous look, well done, Gwen !
Different look to her usual strong red lip and cats eye liner. Looks fresh and natural.
Yes really natural and lovely
So stunning! Love this makeup look!
She’s so beautiful 😍
She looks great and very youthful.
She looks beautiful. Did a great job on her makeup and love the neon outfit for her.
She looks great and with her looks I wouldn’t think she would need too much makeup to enhance
Never heard of her makeup line.
She did a fantastic job on her makeup.
Absolutely, good for her.
I wouldn’t wear electric blue glitter liner, but I wear navy sometimes. It looks good when my eyes are bleary after a migraine, as the navy liner makes my scleras look whiter.
flawless and it suits her so much
Not a fan of the makeup or outfit.
Gwen Stefani always looks beautiful and she did a superb job, on her own Makeup and I am sure that her Skin Care Routine is impressive.
I wouldn’t have recognised her, lucky the pictures were captioned.
Gwen is absolutely stunning, her make-up looks fab, her eyes look very dry and wrinkly though!
Ummm she looks amazing!
I love wearing a coloured liner
She looks fantastic, good on her.
I like her makeup but don’t think much of her out fit
I barely recognise her but she looks great!
She looks great, I love a pop of colourful eyeliner!
Looks great!
She looks glamourous
Blue eyeliner never looks good on me, but on someone with different eyes and colour to mine it looks ok.
I think she’s had some work done too. She looks great but I wouldn’t have recognised her.
Highly likely. Lot of pressure on celebrities to look young.
I love her outfit.
Nobody knows you, like you! She’s obviously got the skills and looks great!
Gwen looks beautiful, I really like the lipstick shade.
Super lovely… I love how her makeup has transitioned over the years (since the 90s)
I love her. She is so elegant and unique and seems so down to earth.
yes a really beautiful and classy lady

I think that all her facial surgeries and botox and fillers have been very well done. Her make up looks great. However, I don’t like that lime green colour on her.
Gwen look as though she has amazing skin naturally
