Gwen Stefani's hairdresser is her biggest ''luxury''

Gwen Stefani says having her own personal hair stylist is "the luxury of my life".

While the No Doubt singer doesn't trust anyone else to do her make-up, she admitted she loves being pampered by having her hair done and regrets not getting her own hairdresser for when she is on tour sooner.

She told America's Elle magazine: "For the last couple tours I've had hair people, which is the luxury of my life. I'm like, 'Why did I do it myself this whole time?'"

While Gwen - who is known for her trademark red lips - has been obsessed with make-up since she was young, she prefers to apply her own cosmetics on tour because she believes she is the only person who can get it right.

She said: "I started in seventh grade. We had home economics, and they'd bring someone in to show you how to put your make-up on. I can draw and paint. That's my background.

"I learn from make-up people now, but in the past I had a real problem with make-up artists. I remember my first experience with a make-up artist was doing the first No Doubt album, the one that was shelved. Go back and look at how ugly I look. It is the worst make-up. From that time on, I'm thinking, I'm not going to let someone do my make-up, because they don't know how to do it."
