(Cover) - EN Star Style - Sophie Ellis Bextor credits her ever-glamorous look to "lots of makeup".

The 32-year-old singer and model is humble about her beauty. The stunning star is the face of Rimmel cosmetics and says she tries not to take her role too seriously.

Sophie says people in the public eye should be more forthcoming with their natural looks.

"It's lots of makeup!" she quipped in an interview with BBC Breakfast. "I love it. I'm not someone who takes it seriously. I don't mind if someone bumps into me in glasses on the school run. If you're going to be a pop star, you've got to take the opportunity to live!"

Despite not being embarrassed about being spotted in public with a nude face, Sophie does believe in dolling herself up for her fans from time to time. The brunette beauty insists it feels nice to be glamorous every once in a while.

"You owe it to people to make an effort," she said. (C) Cover Media
