Without makeup and retouching: 25 stars in their natural form (26 photos)
We're used to seeing celebrities in all their glory, but many of them are increasingly posting photos without makeup. Perhaps they want to be closer to their audience. Or maybe they're just tired of the constant race for perfection. From Gwyneth Paltrow's makeup-free selfies to J.Lo's photos of herself right after waking up, these stars are showing off their natural beauty and reminding fans that self-confidence doesn't require glamour. 
1. Milla Jovovich 
2. Pamela Anderson 
"Isn't that freedom? I feel free!" Pamela Drew Barrymore said of her decision to go makeup-free.
The actress admitted, "I started realizing, 'Oh, I feel great about myself, I don't want people to see me as these characters that I've created to protect myself.' Now I realize that's why I wore heavy makeup."
3. Helen Mirren 
4. Halle Berry 
The 58-year-old celebrity said that she wants to age naturally and gracefully, avoiding plastic surgery.
Holly noted: "It's a shame that we women are constantly told that we should find a way to stay forever young. As if thirty is some kind of limit that you can't go beyond. We are not allowed to be normal people."
Last year, she shared a mirror selfie with the caption: "The most important thing is how you see yourself!"
5. Gisele Bundchen 
6. Cameron Diaz 
7. Lady Gaga 
8. Madonna 
In 2010, the Queen of Pop was photographed without makeup while filming her movie "W.E. Believe in Love" on the streets of Manhattan.
In an interview with Vogue magazine, Madonna's makeup artist, Gina Brook, shared her secrets for preparing stars for the red carpet. These include moisturizing and lining the lips before applying lipstick, using powder to define the brows, and creating the illusion of bigger eyes with dark brown eyeliner blended along the lash line.
9. Drew Barrymore 
For her 50th birthday, Drew shared a makeup-free selfie.
The mother of two shared that she strives to be kinder and more caring to herself as she ages. She wants to be more mindful of her appearance because she believes that loving, caring, and accepting yourself has a positive effect on your mental and spiritual state. And this, in turn, is reflected on the face.
10. Emilia Clarke 
11. Salma Hayek 
The actress often appears on social networks without makeup.
“There was a time when I was a sexy girl, but, thank God, age gave me the opportunity to expand my horizons. Although I am still sexy, and I accept that," Salma said in an interview with Marie Claire.
She stressed: "I also want to remind everyone that women do not lose their value after a certain age. We have a responsibility to fight this prejudice with all our might."
12. Selena Gomez 
13. Rihanna 
In 2020, Rihanna showed off her natural beauty in a class to promote Fenty, her makeup line. “I always say good makeup starts with good skin,” she captioned the post.
The singer started wearing makeup at 16 and has considered makeup her “secret weapon” ever since.
“Depending on my mood, look, or occasion, makeup can go from subtle to completely transformative, and that’s the beauty of it,” Rihanna explained.
14. Jennifer Aniston 
Jennifer shared a photo of herself post-shower to promote her LolaVie hair care line. The Friends star told Allure that she tries not to think about age. She views aging with optimism and gratitude.
“The world will always remind us of age and what women are supposed to do in society based on how old we are. But we can say, ‘No! Who makes those rules?’ We can make our own rules. It’s all bullshit,” the actress said.
15. Emma Roberts 
16. Billie Eilish 
Billie often wears bold eye makeup for the red carpet and her performances, but rarely wears makeup in her everyday life.
Discussing her personality with Elle, she said, “I am a tomboy. But I am also feminine and sexy and sweet. I am who I am. I am allowed to be myself.”
By the way, the singer doesn’t have a makeup artist or hairstylist on tour.
17. Megan Fox 
The actress has changed noticeably since her first role in the film “Transformers.” Megan spoke in detail about all the procedures, including breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, Botox, fillers, and lasers.
The superstitious star admitted that she has very specific requirements for pre-operative preparation: “My doctors have to meet with me and tell me if they saw omens — owls, crows, or stepped on a spider.”
18. Elle Fanning 
19. Courteney Cox 
20. Gal Gadot 
21. Gwen Stephanie 
22. Blake Lively 
23. Gwyneth Paltrow 
The Oscar-winning actress recently shared several selfies with her fans on social media without makeup.
In 2023, in an interview with British Vogue, she admitted that she embraces aging.
“As women, we strive for health and a natural aging process. The idea that we need to stop time seems strange,” she shared. “Nobody is embarrassed by men’s gray hair, but we are immediately asked the question: ‘What are you planning to do with your wrinkles and aging skin?’ It’s definitely a double standard.”
24. Jennifer Lopez 
Two years ago, J. Lo posted a photo in which she “just woke up.”
"Good morning and happy Monday! It's going to be a great week!" she captioned the photo.
The "On the Floor" singer shared in an interview with People: "I love being all made up and glamorous. That's the J.Lo look that everyone knows from her movies and music videos. But there's another me that's just as beautiful without makeup and jewelry."
25. Kim Kardashian 
Kim once said that she would eat feces if it contained the elixir of eternal youth.
In a 2022 interview, the socialite explained: "I do care about my appearance. I think I care more about it than 90% of the world's population. It's not easy when you're a mom and you're tired at the end of the day and you still have a whole self-care program ahead of you."
The mother of four recently posted photos from a spa in South Korea where she appeared without makeup.
