Before achieving international fame, Gwen depended on herself to get glam — and lived at home well past high school.
"I lived at home until I was 25," she said. "When Tragic Kingdom came out, I had my own makeup box. I had no makeup artist. I had no stylist. I went on tour and I said to my mom, 'I think I'm going to be gone a couple months.' I was gone two and a half years!"
And as the only woman in the band, it wasn't always a glamorous lifestyle! "I had to do my makeup in disgusting bathrooms in a compact," she revealed. "I didn't have a runner. I didn't have anything. When I used to put those little gems on my eyes, I used to take them off every night and be, like, 'OK, save them for tomorrow!' It was ghetto. But I think one of my biggest joys and blessings is success brought me all of these talented people."
