(Cover) - EN Star Style - Nicola Roberts often compliments her band mates by copying their make-up.

The 25-year-old is best known for making up one fifth of pop group Girls Aloud along with Cheryl Cole, Sarah Harding, Kimberley Walsh and Nadine Cole.

The group have been on a self-imposed break since 2009 with Nicola turning her attention to more fashion-based pursuits as Nadine and Cheryl have ventured into solo music projects.

But their solo achievements havent affected camaraderie among the quintet, with Nicola revealing that she still looks to her friends for inspiration in the cosmetic department.

In Girls Aloud, we always spy on each other in the make-up chair! she told British InStyle.

So one day I might say, Kimberley had such a pretty peach lip colour on last week, can I try it? or Kimberley will say, I loved that shimmer Nicola was wearing lets do that today. Its nice, like a compliment to each other, so when Kimberley sees me with that peach lipstick on, shell know instantly I was loving her look. (C) Cover Media
