Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry is “too busy” to care about make-up.

The actress is fanatical about looking after her skin, but insists she never worries too much about her appearance and will willingly go out bare-faced.

“I’m not one of those people who opts for plastic surgery, so my philosophy is to take care of what you have. I’m really serious about my skin-care regimen at night. I never ever go to bed - or even nap - with make-up on. I’m a fanatic about skin care, but when it comes to make-up, I’m not. Some days I’ll go out with no make-up on and not even care, because I don’t have the time to be that concerned about it.”

Halle, who has a 19-month-old daughter Nahla with her partner Gabriel Aubry, also said she is wary of wearing too much make-up because of the dangers of looking like a transvestite: “Don’t wear too much makeup, because you can end up looking like a man in drag!”
