Famous Faces Without Makeup: Celebrities Who Embrace the Natural Look

Celebrities without makeup in photos on the Internet have become a kind of entertainment, as if it were something scary like dinosaurs or rare like a solar eclipse. Even well-known platforms are ready to crack a joke at the sight of a female singer or actress who comes out in public without shadows on her eyelids and a layer of foundation on her face.

It’s worth admitting that it’s always incredibly nice to see well-groomed women who are well over 70. This could be the star of a cult series – remember Alexis from Dynasty? The actress is over 90 years old, she is still charming to this day, doesn’t neglect makeup and loves to show off her new diamonds, a gift from her beloved husband.

Or it could be an ordinary elderly French woman who went outside from her apartment on the second floor to throw out the trash. She will not forget to put on heels and paint her lips red.

Such women catch the eye of 100% of passers-by because they do not lose their elegance and attractiveness over the years. However, it is sad to know about the existence of those women who even fall asleep with makeup on. This indicates their lack of self-confidence. And, without a doubt, this shows how much pressure society and the beauty industry put on women.

It turns out that you need to always wear a mask to be beautiful or at least feminine, but this is pure absurdity. Therefore, celebrities prove by their own example that having a more natural face is also the norm of life.

And yes, it is no coincidence that we are not talking here about a natural face, but only about a more natural face, because after all, we all correct the shape of our eyebrows, use moisturizing creams, extend our eyelashes or inject Botox. 

All these are indicators of grooming – as a rule, all celebrities are well-groomed, aren’t they?– but have nothing to do with makeup.

Is This Bad?

Acne on the face is not a phenomenon of the last two centuries. Young people are especially susceptible to this nasty thing. And it is only necessary to emphasize once and for all that a disgusting skin disease is in no way identical to an unpleasant face.

Aging is also a common phenomenon for all of us, and stars are no exception. Nevertheless, among Hollywood actresses, there are not many who enjoy their natural gray hair. Brazilian celebrities allow themselves more freedom. For example, Gloria Pires, who has played leading roles in numerous top-rated TV series, does not even think about dyeing her short hair. In one of her last works, she preferred to wear a blonde wig rather than resort to hair dye again. She accepted the inevitability of aging, although not all her relatives were on her side. And gray hair does not stop her from being the face of her own skincare brand.

Now, let’s remember the character played by Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada. Her Miranda Priestly, an editor-in-chief, was gray-haired, but everyone in the publishing house dreamed of being as great as she was. We, as viewers, enjoyed this heroine. So why do we always criticize stars who allow themselves to look more natural and in accordance with their age? Take part in the race for youth if that is your decision, and let others decide for themselves.

For her 47th birthday, Drew took a makeup-free selfie in her bathroom. It’s not for nothing that the comfort station became the background in this photo. Probably, there was the best lighting there.

In any case, the star of Poison Ivy and Charlie’s Angels is so cute in the photo that you can’t blame her for choosing a dubious location.

Being the guest of honor at Nouvelle Vague sul Tevere, the film festival in Rome, the 60-year-old French actress chose a very natural look – disheveled hair and no makeup.

But we see not a woman tired of life who could not find the strength to comb her hair, but a representative of high society – calm and beautiful.

Jennifer Lopez is a woman beyond age. It’s silly to deny that she has wrinkles and her skin isn’t as firm as the filters make it out to be, but she’s a symbol of the era and how you have to work to make yourself.

The star was born in 1969, she is already 55 years old. But in all her photos we see an unfading woman. Moreover, 20-year-olds willingly follow the life of this person.

A year ago, the French actress and model appeared at the Zegna x The Elder Statesman party with her hair slicked back and without an ounce of makeup.

This natural look was not absolutely new to her. In beach photos with ex-husband Vincent Cassel, the couple showed the world their happiness together and, of course,  there were only the two of them and no makeup in between.

Lady Gaga, as one of the most shocking characters, surprised us with a dress made of pieces of meat and the outfits that other stars wear exclusively for Halloween parties or the Met Gala.

We’re used to her being a freak. The world accepted this idea in the most predictable way and some, like the flat earthers, still believe that she is transsexual, trying to find confirmation in poor quality photographs. 

Nevertheless, her expressive eyes and facial features, inherited from her Italian ancestors, act like a magnet.

The Stranger Things star is not discouraged and sometimes shares the pictures of her far from flawless bare-faced skin with breakouts and blemishes. Will you grimace as if lemon juice has been squeezed into your mouth and say this is disgusting? Leave the baby alone, she is only 20 years old.

She admits she doesn’t know much about beauty and skin care. But who does while young and naive? In the end, you can fight acne and win. Therefore, let’s wish the girl victory.

“Me waking up and counting how many white hairs and wrinkles have crashed the party this morning,” she has recently written alongside the selfie posted on Instagram.The star of Wild Wild West and House of Gucci is 58 years old. Are there women at this age without gray hair? Life goes on, nobody invented the elixir of eternal youth – we all grow up and then grow old

Here’s another story about the bathroom, or rather, right after the shower. Its main character is Gigi Hadid in a white robe and with a towel on her wet hair. There is no makeup, of course, and no filters. 

You even can see a lot of moles in the décolleté area, but is this a drawback? 

There are at least 15 makeup-free photos of the supermodel on the Internet. She is beautiful with her bare-faced skin and she knows this.

Celebrities are human beings too, and sometimes they want to be themselves, and not decorated dolls or mysterious masks. The lists of stars who do not always use cosmetics are truly impressive and growing every year.

Is it a trend to be without makeup when visiting fashion parties and film festivals, or taking selfies for Instagram? Probably yes. This trend is associated with growing self-confidence among women. But we haven’t fully gotten used to it yet. Therefore, the Internet community is constantly discussing celebrities’ looks without makeup. And one of them is Kylie Jenner.

She notes that she doesn’t use makeup every day, and prefers to let her skin breathe. This is her choice, but, nevertheless, she constantly ends up on lists of the most unrecognizable stars when they wear makeup and when they don’t. Who else do you think is in this ranking? There is Tyra Banks, Katy Perry, Jennifer Aniston, SofíaVergara, and Nicki Minaj. But Kylie is discussed the most. 

In France, Brazil, Russia, China and India, this trend is gaining momentum too. Carla Bruni or Aishwarya Rai can also be seen without makeup, and their faces remain incredibly attractive. All these women show us by their own example that beauty can be expressed without cosmetics. But if you think that it was easy for all of them to do this, then you are mistaken. 

Let’s end this article with Kate Winslet. Along with Helen Mirren and other stars, Kate took part in a video series Lessons of Worth a couple of years ago, where she slowly removed all her makeup right in front of the camera with the L’Oréal Paris slogan ‘Because I’m worth it.’

“When we’re younger, we all think that our worth is about our face, or our body shape, or how much attention we get, or how popular we are, or how many likes you get compared to your friends,” she meditates in this video. “But it’s not about any of it. ‘I’m worth it’ is about owning your right to be you.”
