Charli XCX reveals bikini wax 'nightmare'

Hitmaker Charli XCX has revealed that figuring out how to groom herself was quite tricky because she was never shown in her early teens.

During an interview with Miss Vogue magazine, the 'Boom Clap' songstress confessed that her mother never taught her how to pluck her eyebrows or shave her legs so she always felt a little behind in the beauty stakes:

"I've never plucked my eyebrows. My mother never taught me anything."

"The first time I shaved my legs I pressed the razor in so hard that I started bleeding, and the first time I did a home wax on my bikini line, it was a nightmare. I had no idea what I was doing."

She went onto talk about her fashion influences and confessed that there were a few people she looked upto:

"Nineties Mariah Carey is a fashion icon. Or Drew Barrymore when she had a short crop and daisies in her hair. She's kind of my girl crush, although I hate that term. Baby Spice was my favourite. I wanted to dye my hair blonde and in my mind she was my best friend."
