The 'X-Men' actress - who is considered to be one of the world's most beautiful women - prefers to show off her natural good looks rather than spend time applying beauty products.
She said: "Less is more. When I wear too much make-up, I feel like a man in drag. I prefer to be low-maintenance."
Halle - who has an 18-month-old daughter, Nahla, with boyfriend Gabriel Aubry and is believed to be expecting her second child - has revealed she dedicates even less time to preening herself since Nahla was born.
She explained to Britain's InStyle magazine: "My beauty routine has changed since I became a mother. Now all my efforts are for her. I don't style my hair much any more, but I do hers all the time!"
The 43-year-old actress has previously revealed she loves having a family and believes starting a family has changed her life.
She said: "Motherhood will always be my priority now, especially because I had a child for the first time at 41. My priority had been myself for a long time, but now it will always be Nahla. You think you know what love is - until you have a child and discover that unconditional mother love."
