Washington, Dec 14 : Kylie Minogue has revealed that she tries to refrain from applying make-up as often as she can, but it is not always possible.

The singer says it's important to take a break from wearing cosmetics as it allows the skin to breath, but with the paparazzi around she cannot do that often.

"I often go without make-up, but these days it does depend on the paparazzi situation," Contactmusic quoted her as telling Britain's more! Magazine.

"They used to use camera film and weren't so in-your-face, but now it's just all high-definition and sometimes you just know it isn't going to be good. My secret is a top knot and sunnies!" she said. (ANI)
