MAC lipstick in Lady Danger
According to Christina, "Red lips are the clothes of my character."
Her make-up artist Kristofer Buckle, says a sharp red lip liner and powder are the essential tools. "I create Christina\'s signature red lips by using a well sharpened red lip liner to draw the shape- depending on the look she is going for. Powdering the liner gives it staying power and helps stop it from fading. Then I fill the entire mouth and gently blot. A red lip is the crown jewel of the face and has to be done as cleanly as possible, so take your time. For Christina, I carry every shade of red imaginable in my make-up bag!"

"Fragrance is a powerful tool of seduction. It\'s a confidence booster and sometimes that\'s all you need to wear," reveals Christina. For a saucy blend of provocative femininity and fun, Christina\'s personal perfume hits the note. With jasmine, an old-Hollywood throwback, and blackcurrant, inspired by her honeymoon in Bali, it\'s an exotic mix that made it a winning perfume chart topper in 2007.

Davines Hair Mask - Christina Aguilera beauty bag
All that styling to create the perfect head of Hollywood curls can leave tresses dry and needing nourishment. Christina says, "My hair gets a lot of wear and tear on tour from all the sweat and hairspray. This is really creamy and takes the knots out of my hair when it tangles, which is often!"

Christina\'s powder room beauty secrets are sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen. She recommends starting early and if she was stuck on a desert island? "My desert island beauty essentials would have to be moisturiser, sunscreen and bottled water." To protect Christina-like creamy-white skin, use a daily dose of moisturiser with added SPF like this celeb-favourite from DDF.
