Starting a makeup brand is not a complete surprise because one of Stefani's signature looks is a bold red lipstick, which she has rocked for decades. However, many fans might not have known that the singer used to work at a makeup counter at an AR local department store in Anaheim, California, in the late 1980s.

She developed her makeup skills by voluntarily doing people's makeup as a free gift for their purchase. "I was a fake makeup artist in the sense that they never trained me, and I didn't ever report to anybody," she reiterated.
