AceShowbiz - Nicole Eggert always loved Pamela Anderson's natural beauty. The 52-year-old actress shared screen with Pamela, 56, on "Baywatch" in the 90s, and Nicole has now admitted that her former co-star was "prettier and more natural" than herself.

"I always knew Pamela was prettier and more natural," Nicole - who played Summer Quinn on the hit TV show for two seasons - told PEOPLE. "I kind of wondered why she always did so much make-up. But it was her thing and the look she was going for."

"It was the image she wanted to portray, so it worked for her. And I always just feel like, however you feel comfortable, whatever makes you feel good, do it. And for her, it was wearing a lot of make-up. For me, it was like, make-up at the beach? 'Oh, this is disgusting,' You know what I mean?"

Last year, meanwhile, Pamela revealed that she's relished going against the "grain" with her fresh-faced look. The actress has embraced a fresh-faced beauty style in recent years, and Pamela has found it to be really "freeing."

Speaking to ELLE about her style, Pamela - who played the part of "C.J." Parker on "Baywatch" - explained, "I think we all start looking a little funny when we get older. And I'm kind of laughing at myself when I look at the mirror. I go, 'Wow, this is really ... what's happening to me?' It's a journey."

Despite this, Pamela admitted to being in a "good place." The Hollywood star - who became a global sex symbol in the 90s - shared, "I feel rooted for. I feel good. I'm in a good place."
