Jennifer Lopez Rocks the Cover of People's 'Most Beautiful' Issue

Until you’re twenty, you have the face you are born with, and after that you have the face you deserve.

This wisdom was once given to Jennifer Lopez, 41, and now she lives by it.

“I really loved that – the idea that you wear who you are on your face.”

Lopez, who believes in a balance of mind, body and spirit, is gracing the cover of PEOPLE’s Most Beautiful issue.

The “American Idol” judge told the magazine she’d rather go natural and makeup free.

"That's when I'm my happiest," Lopez said. "Just being able to touch my face and rub my eyes and put my fingers in my hair and not having to worry about messing it up. It's so much better."

Still, she understands that glamming-up, although never easy, is part of the territory.

“It does take time and it's hard work. HDTV wide-screen is nobody's friend!" she said.

Lopez also confesses that she is now able to “own” her diva.

"I kind of like it…But I certainly don't like and I've never been a person who has what they call 'diva behavior,' which is something they tried to pin on me for a long time," she revealed.

Also making the issue, Zac Efron, Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore, Katie Holmes, Jennifer Hudson, Kellan Lutz, Dana Delany, Elle Kemper, Mindy Kaling, Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Lawrence, Eva Longoria, and Ryan Reynolds.
