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."
