Singer Christina Aguilera can achieve stunning red carpet looks and dons outrageous outfits when performing on stage - but the mother-of-one has said her life isn't all glamour.
The Voice USA judge told the MailOnline: 'There are two different sides of me. When I’m at home being a mom, I’m in my sweatpants and very comfortable so I can play with my son.
'And there's the side of me that gets out on stage and is quite the extrovert and the artist. It’s always important for me to express that side of myself as well. This is balancing me and helps me to look my best.'
She said: 'Since I wear makeup for several hours at a time, it’s important for me to keep up a good beauty regimen. Before I go to bed, I use a gentle cleanser, moisturize, and apply under-eye cream, which always feels good.
'My favourite foundation is Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Foundation. I love the creamy consistency, as my skin is rather dry. Plus it has wonderful coverage to hide any imperfections. I do love and try a lot of products.'
But beauty products and lifestyle tips aside, the Beautiful singer, who has had to face critics who have lambasted her in the past for being overweight, said the real key to looking good is confidence.
'When you are confident, you can feel feminine and sexy, even after a few sleepless nights,' she said.
