Emma Watson is always being praised for her ‘polished’ chic look, But the actress-turned fashion icon strangely admits she wears too much make-up than she would prefer.

Talking about cosmetic mishaps, Emma admits she’s been prone to being put in that category from time to time.

“Wearing too much makeup has been my biggest beauty faux pas,” she revealed to UK’s Hello! magazine.

“I truly, truly believe that beauty is something that comes from within. You can only really look beautiful if you feel beautiful on the inside. It shows through your face, the way you move and the way you hold yourself.”

Despite being the face of power brand Lancome, she has always expressed a love for the natural look, as well as natural products.

“The funny thing about me is that I do have a lot of products — I’ve always loved makeup and its ability to transform you,” she said. “But I don’t actually wear a lot of it, so there is an irony that I own so much of it but wear so little. But I do love beauty products.”

Apparently one of Emma’s must have’s for her make-up bag is Burt’s Bees Lip Balm, and as you would expect it doesn’t come with a celeb price tag either. £3.56.

Emma also revealed a couple of her secret beauty tips…

“Don’t over-pluck your eyebrows and always take your makeup off before you got to bed!”
