Nicki Minaj: ‘More is more’ with make-up

The superstar raper Nicki Minaj likes to take ‘more is more’ approach to make-up and applies it with lots of confidence.

She explained: "I'm really into contouring to change the shape of my face. When it comes to putting on fake eyelashes, I use a little imagination, a lot of eyeliner, a steady hand and no fear. For me, more is more."

The 'American Idol' judge has few fail-safe beauty secrets and her key to flawless skin is using natural products and remembering about removing make-up.

Nicki revealed: "I never go to bed with my make-up on - ever. I drink tons of water and slather myself in cocoa butter. I have a dermatologist in LA who gave me some great advice - never use anything to wash my skin that contains alcohol or ail."

The eccentric fashionista is famed for her love of wigs in all shapes and sizes, but that doesn't stop her from looking after her natural hair to ensure it stays healthy.

She said: "I go to a Dominican hairstylist who uses a lot of hot oil treatments and I use really moisturising Mizani shampoos and masks."
