The 'Dancing With The Stars' judge insists she would much rather favour a "fresh" face rather than slap on a lot of makeup.

She told PEOPLE magazine: "I'm so much more comfortable in my skin today than I was at 18. I think a lot of that had to do with [being] focused on who I thought people wanted me to be rather than who I truly am.

"I used to wear so much makeup. I think that also had to do with having to cover up my zits. I think we tend to feel comfortable and it becomes a sort of security blanket to have a lot of makeup on. That's why I love when my skin is fresh."

Meanwhile, the 27-year-old dancer isn't afraid of experimenting with beauty after she previously dyed her hair "unicorn" pink.

She said at the time: "I love to experiment with my looks by the way of beauty products, styling tools and sometimes even taking things a step further. Remember last year when I chopped off all my hair? It was a big, bold move but it was so worth it!

"It felt liberating not to hide behind all that hair. So why did I decide on the colour pink this time? Because pink is the colour of kindness!"
