From going wild on plucking her eyebrows to revealing her number one beauty icon, we spoke to the singer Nicole Scherzinger, 36, about her beauty secrets.
My mum was very strict when I was growing up so I wasn’t allowed to wear make-up, but when I was 11 I found some Vaseline in our house and put it on my lips to give them extra shine. Then I discovered how to pluck my eyebrows and I went wild on that.
I remember thinking my mum was beautiful. She always dressed on trend so I used to steal her clothes. She had this jersey tube that you could wear anywhere on your body, plus I loved jumpsuits with shoulder pads back then.
My beauty ethos now is that it’s really important to stay hydrated to give your skin a dewy look, whether or not you have make-up on. Ultimately our confidence comes from within but if you believe in a product, and think it will make you look better, then you will be glowing from the inside out.
Jennifer Lopez is my beauty icon because she is such a classy woman with an inner strength. Whatever she does she owns it. I think beauty is important for self-confidence because when we take pride in our appearance it affects how we present ourselves to the world – it makes us hold our heads a little higher.
