"Katy Perry really is just like Us! The &amp;quot;California Gurls&amp;quot; singer, Vogue&amp;apos;s July cover girl, gave the magazine a glimpse of her beauty routine and in a candid Vogue Diaries video, in which she goes from makeup-free to glam and gorgeous, she also opens up about her insecurities.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;My skin used to be a lot worse than it is, so we would do a lot more coverage because I was insecure about my skin,&amp;quot; she said of her &amp;quot;more dramatic makeup&amp;quot; looks of the past. &amp;quot;And you know when you&amp;apos;re insecure about your skin, you just do a lot more.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I think we&amp;apos;re coming into a more age-appropriate feel of experimenting,&amp;quot; the star, 28, explained of her current more sophisticated palette. Indeed, the July cover of Vogue, her first ever for the magazine, shows Perry rocking a romantic and pretty look, a far cry from the heavily made-up visage of her earlier days.\r\n\r\nThat said, &amp;quot;I love a good paint,&amp;quot; she assured the magazine. &amp;quot;I have alright lips and alright cheekbones, but they&amp;apos;re no show-offs. If I can get my eyes and brows right, that really sets off the whole face,&amp;quot; she continued, explaining the features she chooses to focus on.\r\n\r\nPerry also seems to be focusing on beautifying from the inside these days. In May, the singer tweeted a picture of the vitamins she takes each day, which were carefully labeled in Ziplock bags reminding her when to take them -- &amp;quot;Upon Rising,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Breakfast&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Dinner.&amp;quot; More than 20 pills can be seen in each large-sized bag as Perry holds them up over her face."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
