Actress Naomi Watts says she hardly ever wears make-up when she's not working because she struggles to put it on.

"I rarely wear any in my day-to-day life, mostly because I'm horrible at applying it,"

Watts was quoted as saying by HELLO! magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

However, the 46-year-old has said there are times when she has to wear heavy make-up ten hours a day for three months whilst she works on films.

Asked about her favourite skincare product, the "Birdman" actress said: "Cleanser is really important to me, especially as I wear too much make-up most of the time when filming".

"I do shoots that are ten or 12 weeks long, wearing make-up for ten hours a day under lights that push it into your skin. It's then reapplied and layered on. So to cleanse well and take care of my skin is important," she added.
