Cheryl Cole believes that true beauty is on the inside.

The Girls Aloud singer is well known for her good looks, but she told French website Get The Look that it isn't always just about how you look on the outside.

The 'Call My Name' star said that sometimes no amount of makeup can beat some inner gorgeousness. She said:

"You can wear all the make-up you want, but beauty comes from within. A lot of people say it's a cliché, but it's so true."

Cole continued: "If you feel beautiful inside, you can tell. So you need to feel comfortable within yourself, which is definitely not always easy - but you should try!"

Despite the inner beauty talk, the singer is long associated with makeup company L'Oreal and she was recently in Cannes to promote the brand.
