Having recently launched her summer Lipsy range, the star spoke about how important looking good was to her and how she takes a 'less is more' approach to make-up. She told FEMAIL: 'Keep a fresh-faced feel,' she said. 'With day wear make-up, you can always add to it later in the evening. 'In the summer, I wear much less make-up and it looks better on your skin.' Her beauty regime is fairly minimal and she simply cleanses, tones and moisturises every day and treats herself to a facial every other week to rehydrate her skin. She swears by Simple face wipes, Origins cleanser and Garnier and Kiehl's moisturisers. Michelle believes less is more when it comes to make-up .

Body-wise, Michelle says she tries to work out as much as possible and while there's 'always an excuse not to go', she ends up feeling better after a workout. 'I try and go to the gym as much as I can,' she said. 'It could be three times a week or not at all one week, but I don't punish myself if I don't go.'
