Her lipstick stayed perfectly in place for the entire show.
I don’t have much in common with Gwen Stefani. She’s a three-time GRAMMY Award winner; I’m a journalist. She’s married to a guy named Blake; I’m married to a Stephen. She’s in her 50s; I’m in my 30s. The list goes on. But on March 15, both of us experienced our first rodeo on a warm day in Houston, and we were united in the name of makeup. to perform her hit songs for more than 65,000 fans, all of whom were waiting with bated breath .
But let's back up a bit. Makeup aside, let’s be clear: Stefani is a force. With four studio albums, three GRAMMY awards under her belt, two fashion lines and an eyewear collection, her place in the music and fashion industry is cemented. And as the pop star carves a spot for herself in the beauty industry, one that’s steeped in celebrity competition, she too is primed for the challenge.
“I think [everything] I've done in my entire life has led me to this point,” says the former No Doubt frontwoman. “Everything that comes from a place of creativity is what led me to [create a makeup line].” "Long wear" is an accurate description of the lipstick. For an hour and a half, Stefani’s bright red matte lips held center court, never budging even while under bright lights. From opening with “The Sweet Escape” on a rotating stage that shifted during each song to hitting “Wind It Up," which forced the crowd to jump up and move their bodies, Stefani’s makeup never wavered. As her songs grew more intense, the energy melded perfectly with the bold matte texture of her lips.
