Starting a makeup brand is not a complete surprise because one of Stefani's signature looks is a bold red lipstick, which she has rocked for decades. However, many fans might not have known that the singer used to work at a makeup counter at an AR local department store in Anaheim, California, in the late 1980s.

She developed her makeup skills by voluntarily doing people's makeup as a free gift for their purchase. "I was a fake makeup artist in the sense that they never trained me, and I didn't ever report to anybody," she reiterated.

One of her secrets to clear and youthful skin is not sleeping with makeup on. The singer said she learned the repercussions of not washing her face before bed early on. "At bedtime, I always take off my makeup and put moisturizer on," she added.

Another tip is that she keeps her skincare routine simple. Stefani is aware of the overwhelming variety of skincare products, but using minimal products has helped her skin.

Since she's getting older, the 54-year-old also prioritizes keeping her skin moisturized. One of her favorite products to get glowy skin is from her makeup line. Stefani said it is a face oil that gives her the best youthful glow.

She also never makes the mistake of forgetting to apply sunscreen. "I would tell my younger self to stay out of the sun and wear sunscreen," said the mother of three.

Stefani recalled working as a lifeguard and wishing she knew about the importance of applying sun protection. Fortunately, she was still able to save her skin from sun damage when she stopped sunbathing in her 20s.

Last but not least, Stefani's tip for keeping her skin glowing is staying consistent with her skincare routine. But even her makeup depends on how her skin looks and feels.

The "Rich Girl singer admitted that some skin days are better than others, but when preparing for a shoot, she will use foundation or concealer with a bit more coverage. When she's with her family, her routine is kept very simple. Stefani's love for makeup is all about exuding the most confidence while also making sure her skin remains healthy.
