Melissa McCarthy has confessed she sometimes sleeps with a full face of make-up on.
During an interview for People magazine’s 2023 Beautiful Issue, the Bridesmaids actress admitted that she is either totally dedicated or utterly unbothered when it comes to removing cosmetics after a photoshoot or red carpet appearance.
“There’s two versions of me. If I’m taking off my (make-up), I do all my good stuff and the hot towel and the whole thing,” she explained. “If I come like this (with a full face of make-up) what you’re seeing right now, this is how I go to bed (with crossed arms). I go to bed like a corpse. I lie back, and I wake up the next morning and I’m like, ‘Good for me. I can sleep and not move.'”
Yet, Melissa emphasised that her make-up artist doesn’t approve of her loose skincare routine.
“My make-up (artist) is like, ‘Oh, that’s not good. You should wash it all off.’ I’m like, ‘Look at what you did today. I can’t do this.’ So I sleep like an absolute corpse, and I wake up, and I go and look in the mirror, and it’s like, ‘That’s a full lash, girl.’ It’s a full lash on a Tuesday,” the 52-year-old added.
Elsewhere in the conversation, Melissa shared that her two teenage daughters – whom she shares with husband Ben Falcone – enjoy experimenting with cosmetics.
“They both really like make-up, but it’s really used as this tool for expression,” she said. “It’s not to look older or other than. So I really let them experiment with it and with their hair.”
McCarthy will soon be seen as villainous sea witch Ursula opposite Halle Bailey, who stars as Ariel, in Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid.
