Christina Aguilera says you’ll never see her in public without her make-up because she uses it as her “armour” against the paparazzi and the public.
The ‘Dirrty’ diva says her red lipstick makes her feel confident and she’d feel exposed to the public’s prying eyes without it.
"The red lips are - I don't want to call them armour, but they're the clothes of my character and I'm in the business of entertainment," she explains.
"I am a woman who has my extremely vulnerable side and my baggage - and at times I feel extremely weak."
"And who's to say a little mascara doesn't make you feel more confident when you pop it on and look in the mirror?"
"It helps, especially in my position, where I have people waiting down the street to take pictures of me so they can evaluate and criticise every little flaw on my face."
"I suppose that's where the armour would come into the picture!"
