The 34-year-old singer, who mentored this year's winning act, James Arthur, on the UK 'X Factor', said that she only wears lots of cosmetics when she is working, reported Contactmusic.

"Less is more when it comes to make-up - I don't know why young women wear so much. On my days off my make-up is really minimal - tinted moisturiser, my Stila Covertible cheek colour, lip gloss and a little bit of liner and mascara," she said.

Scherzinger also said that she likes to do her own make-up but takes help when it comes to styling her hair.

"I know my stuff. I feel that you have to in this business. I can't rely on other people all of the time, so I have to know what works for me. I also don't like to wear heavy make-up - I prefer a softer, prettier look.

"When it comes to my hair I like to get help, though. I have a lot of it so I need a little help getting around the back," she added.
