Watson embraces natural beauty

Emma Watson thinks it's "sad" when women hide themselves behind layers of make-up.

The British actress is famed for her understated beauty, and avoids wearing cosmetics during the day. Emma thinks more females should embrace their natural look

"I love French pharmacies. I'm obsessed - I could spend hours. They take a very medical, pharmaceutical approach to the face," she said in the latest issue of UK magazine Glamour.

"I love the French - less is more look - there's something very classy about it. It's so sad when people hide themselves behind too much make-up."

Watson has revealed the secret behind her glowing complexion. The 22-year-old star has also shared her other top beauty trick.

"I love having facials. I think it makes more of a difference to how I feel than a full-body massage does. You feel so fresh and new. And eyedrops genius! The anti-redness ones are so good," she smiled.

Watson caused a buzz after cutting off her signature long locks after the end of Harry Potter filming. The beauty says her hair style reflects her state of mind.

"This sounds so ridiculous, but if you analyse what I've done with my hair over the years, it always matches my moods. Cutting off all my hair was all about getting rid of Harry Potter, and going dark was about mourning the end of Potter," she explained.

"I'm told, 'Please, please grow your hair, so we can do different roles'," Watson says.
