Amazing Images of Celebrities Both Inside and Outside of Makeup
Gwen Stefani

Perhaps one of the most remarkable changes in the entertainment business is Gwen Stefani's natural look against her characteristic style. The singer is really hardly identifiable without her signature makeup; she shows a softer, more vulnerable side that fans hardly see. Her naked face exposes natural traits distant from the audacious, retro-inspired looks for which she is well known. From her neatly painted red lips to her finely lined eyes and porcelain-like skin, the makeover procedure includes significant makeup application that has become part of her famous image. Her makeup artists use several techniques to produce her trademark appearance, which has stayed rather constant over her decades-long career. This spectacular before-and-after shows not just the ability of cosmetics but also how it might become a main component of an artist's brand identification. Her stage demeanor and natural look contrast to highlight how artistic expression and personal branding may be achieved using makeup.
