Gwen Stefani puts some of her best poses forward in the September 2012 issue of Harper's Bazaar where she sports a variety of girly outfits and talks makeup, being fit, dealing with bad press and more. Check out the most important highlights.
With a new album soon to be launched, Gwen Stefani has
stepped back into the spotlight looking spectacular and Harper's
Bazaar is showing us plenty of fun and glam examples that show her
beauty in a different manner from what we might expect. Despite
aiming to be an early fall editorial, the photo-shoot oozes spring
and optimism with floral accessories and pink tones. In the
accompanying interview with the magazine, the star reveals how she
approaches her beauty routine, the secret behind her rocking body
among many others.
Given the fact that most of us remember Gwen all put together with
her iconic red lips, it comes as no surprise the star loves make
up. So much, in fact, that it's not uncommon to change her makeup
multiple times a day: “I’ve always been a girl who loves to dress
up. I already put my makeup on twice today: I put it on to take my
kid to school, and then I went home, washed my face, and put it on
again to have lunch with you. I like to make my husband like me
more and he likes it when I’m wearing makeup.”
With her gorgeous slender figure, the star has been asked on
numerous occasions how she manages to stay so fit, healthy and
gorgeous. However, she always found these types of questions rather
cumbersome. She jokingly states that there's no single miracle
trick behind her gorgeous figure: “I hate talking about my body
[all the time]; it’s ridiculous. There is no secret: You just have
to eat healthy, work out, and torture yourself!" Of course, all the
on stage performing definitely helps too but she still hits the gym
as much as her time allows it: “But it’s more for my brain than it
is for my body.” She also explains that part of the reason she
stays so fit is her love for clothes: “I like to wear clothes too
much, so I try to keep focused.”
Being in the industry for so long enabled her to develop a thick
skin when it comes to critiques and false rumors to the point that
she detached herself from them entirely: “That someone would say
something untrue or bad about me doesn’t bother me. It’s like water
off a duck’s back. None of that stuff matters. There’s something in
me, being this passive person, that those kinds of things don’t
upset me. I know they can say anything; they can just make
something up. But what are you going to do? It’s not part of my
reality, so it’s okay.”
One area where she dedicates her entire energy though is
motherhood. Unsurprisingly, she finds her most important role to be
very energy-intensive and undoubtedly challenging albeit extremely
fun: "It's, like, the real deal, dude. It's superfun being a mom,
but it's hard too. Finding that balance between work and family is
the hardest thing I've ever done—by far."
