Get the celebrity look: Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani is a make-up artist's dream. Besides the fact that she's gorgeous, she is also absolutely fearless when it comes to experimenting with new looks. From airbrushed eyeshadow to ruby red lips, she wears make-up like no one else. If you want to take your look for a walk on the wild side and get Gwen's sexy, retro style, follow these steps from Tony & Tina's international makeup artist Eddie Funkhouser:

You'll need:

• Hydrating moisturiser and eye cream
• Foundation and concealer
• Eyebrow brush
• Brown eyeshadow
• Sheer iridescent eyeshadow
• Taupe eyeshadow
• Eyeliner brush and black eyeshadow
• Eyeliner pencil
• Black mascara
• Pink gel blusher
• Lipliner and lip brush
• Rich red lipstick and lipgloss
• Iridescent loose face and body powder

STEP 2 Apply concealer to the eyelids and under the eyes using a concealer brush. The motto here is 'less is more'. (Too much concealer can result in creasing.) The concealer should also be used to cover blemishes and as a base coat for the lips.

STEP 3 For a dramatic brow, use a brow brush to apply a rich brown shadow to the eyebrow in short strokes. Make sure the colour is well blended to create a natural shadow effect.

STEP 4 Working with an eye blender brush, apply sheer iridescent shadow to the brow bone only. Apply a light bone shadow to the rest of the lid. In the crease, apply a warm taupe and blend well with your brush. You want the crease colour to be soft and natural.

STEP 5 To line the eyes, wet a pointed liner brush and dip it into black eyeshadow to create a modern version of liquid liner. Start a narrow line at the top inner corner of the eye and gradually thicken, tapering off at about 3mm beyond the outer corner of the eye. Use a black eyeliner pencil to line the inside of the upper lash line and the very inner corner of the bottom. Finish by curling the lashes and applying two coats of black mascara to the top and bottom lashes.

STEP 6 Contour your cheekbones using a light pink cheek gel. Dab a small amount on the back of one hand. Pick up a small amount with your fingertips and lightly dab and pat the colour onto the face, starting just below the cheekbones and working toward the hairline.

STEP 7 Outline the lips using a lip liner. Be sure to seal in the outer corners of the mouth with the pencil. This gives the lips extra definition and depth. Use a lip brush to blend the liner up and into the lip to erase any signs of a definite line. Apply a rich red lipstick to the lips with the lip brush, starting from the corners and working toward the centre. As a final touch, dab a small amount of lipgloss onto the back of your hand. Pick up a small amount with your lip brush and lightly dab it over the colour. Be careful not to smudge or disturb the colour you've just applied.

STEP 8 For subtle, sexy shimmer, finish with a dusting of iridescent loose powder on your forehead, cheeks, shoulders and chest.
