Gwen Stefani accused of ‘perpetuating poor body image’ after she ‘thins out her nose’ in new Instagram video

GXVE is Gwen’s makeup line that includes the cream contour powder bronzer used to obtain her look.

In the video, the former coach of The Voice used a lighter color down the front of her nose and a darker color along the sides; a popular technique to thin out the appearance of a nose.

“Get the perfect nose contour every time with Pick It Up,” GXVE wrote in the caption.

“To define, use the cream contour along the sides and tip of your nose, blending upwards to your brow to blend.

“Then, follow up with the powder bronzer to soften and blend for a natural finish,” they finished.

While the wife of Blake Shelton showed off her youthful glow at the age of 53, some critics felt it was inauthentic for the singer to alter her face shape by using makeup.

FAKING IT?

One critic slammed: “Dislike!! She already has a nice nose and wants to contour it to make it look more thinner?? Wtf?! This s**t continues to perpetuate poor body image and self loathing!”

“You’re pretty without all that makeup,” a second claimed.

A third wrote: “When someone who had plastic surgery gives beauty advice.”

A fourth similarly said: “Does it come with the plastic surgery.”

“How bout we just love the nose we were blessed with,” a fifth commented.

“She already had a nice nose and wants to contour it to make it look thinner?” a sixth asked.

Another claimed Gwen wears “entirely too much makeup” for her age.

In terms of plastic surgery, some critics have given their opinions on the Hollaback Girl singer’s face lately.

PLASTIC SURGERY SPECULATION

Recently, Sephora posted an ad to its Instagram page featuring Gwen and some products from her makeup brand.

The video showed Gwen twirling in a red and white polka dot dress, showing off various poses.

The Rich Girl singer also had her platinum blonde hair slicked back into a tight bun on the top of her head.

Fans praised the Grammy winner in the comments section of the post with one asking: “Does she ever age? lol” with a fire emoji.

Another fan answered with some snark: “It’s called a facelift lol. I can tell by her stretched face and hairline missing around front of ears. All telltale signs. Many of my friends have had it done also.”

Gwen wore the same look on stage at the CMT Awards, sporting the same hair and makeup look but she had changed into a white mini dress with red polka dots and a red bra top peeking out from underneath.

One commenter wrote: “I’m getting to where I don’t recognize her anymore.”

Another speculated: “Wow..that is an extreme face lift.”

THE OLDER THE BETTER

Gwen has previously addressed the idea of getting older and how she feels about showing signs of age in the public eye.

In 2021, during a candid interview with Australia’s Stellar magazine, Gwen did admit that she is obsessed with how she is aging, adding that growing older in the public eye can be especially difficult.

“It’s really hard for everyone to age and have to face life,” she shared.

“Especially for females and people who have been in the spotlight it can be daunting, but you tackle it by just trying to be the most beautiful version of yourself inside and out.”

Gwen added: “People talking about my aging is a compliment, I guess. I’m kind of obsessed with how I’m aging, too.”

Although some may have accused Gwen of getting plastic surgery, many fans have also been quick to comment on Gwen’s youthful glow at the age of 53.

On a recent video that showed one of her more toned-down looks, Gwen received comments such as: “Looking younger & younger Gwen!” and “Youth is on your side.”
