Eva Longoria was never into the "natural make-up look".

The 42-year-old actress has admitted she has never been a follower of the "less is more" mantra, and she is glad the current beauty trend is "heavy make-up" because she loves nothing more than piling on the cosmetic products.

Speaking in the January issue of NewBeauty magazine, the former 'Desperate Housewives' star said: "I wasn't into the natural make-up look. I love make-up! I'm glad the trend right now is heavy make-up. Bring on the make-up."

And Eva believes people do not need to fork out a large amount of money on make-up.

She added: "Everyone thinks you need to spend a lot of money on products or go to the spa for a facial, but the technology for over-the-counter beauty products has gotten so much better in recent years. Everyone can have access to that."

Aside from make-up, Eva is also a "self-proclaimed sunblock bully" and will douse herself and her pals in sun protection.

She said: "I'm a self-proclaimed sunblock bully. I go around applying it to my friends' faces; I've probably applied it to some strangers' faces, too. I'm forever asking, 'Do you have sunblock?' There's a lot you can do to your skin to keep it healthy, but sunscreen is the big one."

Eva - who has her own eponymous clothing line - relies on social media for style and beauty inspiration.

She said: "It's definitely a place of inspiration for me. I love makeup bloggers and influencers, and I love seeing the new tricks they come up with on Instagram and Pinterest. I turn to social media often for ideas for my looks - I'll see a red lip I really like, or a purple smoky eye I want to try. It's a great place for ideas."

Although Eva - who is expecting her first child with her husband Jose Baston - is hot on her beauty and skincare routine, she has admitted she "hates" brushing her teeth.

She explained: "I hate brushing my teeth! I do it twice a day, but it really pisses me off sometimes. I wish I could do something with my bottom crooked teeth. I've had braces before, but they just keep moving back."
