Kim Kardashian-West refused to wear make-up for a year because she didn't want it to rub-off on her baby daughter's skin.

The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star - who gave birth to her first child, North, with her husband Kanye West in June last year - has admitted she scrapped her beauty regime because she didn't want the products to end up on her newborn baby while she mothered her.

Kim told London's Time Out magazine: ''When I had my daughter I had almost a year at home with no make-up.

''I had to stop, because I wanted to kiss her, and if you have make-up, it's really hard to kiss and snuggle and not get it on your baby.''

The raven-haired beauty - who celebrated her 34th birthday in Las Vegas on Friday (24.10.14) - also revealed that she finds it therapeutic doing her make-up in the morning, despite it taking up such a significant chunk of her day.

She said: ''I love it. It's my time to relax in the morning.

''Since I've had my daughter, my time's been pushed - I used to give them two hours, now it's just like an hour and a half.''
