Katy Perry – 36-Years-Old

Pop star Katy Perry is one of those singers who seems to change her looks on a whim, according to what she feels will look best that day. Of course, looking that fabulous takes quite a lot of work in the morning, and Perry spends even more time donning makeup for her incredible concerts. As such, it’s very rare for fans to see the world-famous singer without cosmetics.

But all that changed when comedian Russell Brand, Perry’s husband at the time, posted a picture of the pop star’s bare face on Twitter. Apparently, she could not have been pleased about it, as Brand later deleted the Tweet. However, as you probably know, once something’s on the internet, it’s there forever…

Jessica Alba – 39-Years-Old

Can you believe actress Jessica Alba is already 39-years-old? It seems like it was just yesterday that she made her acting debut as a child star in the 1994 film Camp Nowhere. These days, she’s a mother of three with husband Cash Warren!

Not one to ever miss out on a trend, the Sin City star joined the group of celebrities that have posted a selfie without makeup. However, Alba took it one step further, posting a post-workout picture, covered in sweat and burning bright from the workout. With one photo, she proved that not only does she always look flawless, but that she’s confident enough to take on the critics!

Shakira – 43-Years-Old

When it comes to her makeup approach, Latina singer Shakira truly believes that “less is more.” However, it’s not because she’s trying to follow some cool new, no-filter trend. Instead, it’s because, even on tour, the singer likes to do her own makeup! “I feel like the less makeup I use, the better I look,” the star told InStyle Magazine. Through various no makeup selfies, Shakira continues to prove her theory right!

So, what’s the secret to Shakira’s glowy skin? Well, it probably won’t surprise you: taking great care of your skin, so it looks flawless even without any cosmetics on. There are three products that the singer swears by to keep her skin looking clean and clear: vitamin E capsules, vitamin C serums, and a cleansing brush that she uses every night before going to bed.

Jennifer Garner – 48-Years-Old

Iconic actress Jennifer Garner made it clear that she had a wonderful time on her 48th birthday last year. After a day of festivities, Garner shared a makeup-free selfie on her Instagram account and, in a moment of frankness, expressed gratitude to her fans. Despite the actress’ recent struggles with ex-husband Ben Affleck, Garner seemed genuinely happy and thankful in the video.

While audiences still remember her best for her part on the spy series Alias, Garner now mainly works on indie films, like the recent hit Love, Simon. She also raises her three children, whom she had with Affleck, full-time.

Jennifer Aniston – 52-Years-Old

Without a doubt, beloved actress Jennifer Aniston’s most iconic role remains that of Rachel Green on the hit sitcom Friends. She started on Friends when she was just in her early 20s, immediately becoming a household name and favorite of the show’s fans.

Aniston might have said goodbye to Rachel ten years later; however, she has continued to enjoy an incredibly successful career. As of this writing, the actress has a net worth of roughly $200 million, making her one of the best-paid stars in Hollywood. With all that cash, it’s really no surprise that Aniston can treat herself to the final facial treatments. Surprisingly, the star also has no problem showing everyone the truth, like when she went without makeup in the movie Cake.

Lady Gaga – 34-years-Old

Singer and actress Lady Gaga always surprises fans with her dramatic yet spectacular costumes and sensationally artistic makeup on. However, when under the watchful eyes of critics and fans, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta – Gaga’s birth name– enjoys living a normal, makeup-free life.

While her fans enjoy the spectacle of her looks, Gaga also makes sure to take time for herself, without having something stuck to her face. And, as you can see in the cosmetic-free selfie above, the signer also enjoys eating whatever she wants! Even without makeup, Gaga looks like she’s set to shoot a sequel to A Star is Born. However, despite how great she looks without makeup, fans still can’t wait to see what stage combo she wears next!

Beyoncé – 39-Years-Old

Whether she’s going makeup free, just a dash of foundation, or wearing every type of cosmetic under the son, there seems to be no style that legendary pop singer Beyoncé can’t pull off. However, it’s actually uncommon to see Queen B without any cosmetics whatsoever. Usually, when Bey pops out, she opts for the natural-makeup, hair-down look.

Still, every once in a while, even Queen B needs a break from makeup. And she looks fantastic regardless! We expect to see her without makeup more and more often as her schedule seems to only become more and more hectic. Between her upcoming album, latest Netflix documentary, recent turn in the Lion King remake, and of course, her three small children, we have no idea how Beyonce ever manages to put on makeup!

Reese Witherspoon – 44-Years-Old

For those not in the know, Legally Blonde star Reese Witherspoon is a mother of three, in addition to also running her clothing company, Draper James. So, with everything she has to get done every day, it’s no wonder Witherspoon likes to head out without makeup, rocking the same outfit as every other mother. Still, Witherspoon always manages to look incredible while doing so!

Meanwhile, when it comes time, the actress still knows how to bring the heat to the heading to the red carpet! Do you want to look as great as the 44-year-old? Luckily, Witherspoon has no problem sharing her beauty secrets: sunscreen every day, no matter the weather and even inside your home!

Kim Kardashian – 39-Years-Old

Hollywood darling Kim Kardashian has essentially taken over the makeup industry with her various cosmetics lines, all of which have sold incredibly well. As the owner of multiple makeup lines, you might assume that Kardashian would never be caught dead without makeup on. However, just like the rest of us, even Kim needs a break from cosmetics at times.

In fact, Kardashian recently went public about her struggle with psoriasis, a medical condition of extreme scalp dryness, and even uploaded some not-flattering selfies, showing her fans what she goes through every day. So, it’s safe to say that Kardashian feels fairly confident about her looks, with or without makeup!

Sofia Vergara – 47-Years-Old

Back in 2019, actress Sofia Vergara shared a cosmetic-free selfie on her Instagram account. However, unlike other celebrities, she didn’t do so simply to show off her great makeup-free looks. Instead, the Modern Family star just wanted to share with fans that she wasn’t feeling at her best. “Hm… I just realized that 102 fever gives you the perfect shades of pink. I need this color,” the actress captioned the photo.

Even though Vergara doesn’t regularly share pictures of herself without makeup, she did post another in 2015. Still, while the makeup-less potion of her photo certainly surprised fans, many were more impressed to find out that Vergara is not naturally blonde!

Angelina Jolie – 45-Years-Old

Believe it or not, Academy Award-winning actress Angelina Jolie got her career started almost four decades ago! And when viewers first saw her in Lookin’ to Get Out, back in 1982, they had no doubt she’d become a major star. And they were right! Meanwhile, over the years, everyone has wondered about the secrets of Jolie’s beauty routine.

However, if Jolie has some makeup and beauty tricks, she’s not sharing them! Whether on the red carpet or taking excellent care of her six children, Jolie always exudes an almost regal sensibility. In fact, the actress is so confident that she regularly attends events without makeup!

Drew Barrymore – 45-Years-Old

In case you hadn’t heard, one of Hollywood’s most beloved actresses, Drew Barrymore, is a big supporter of wearing no makeup. Over the years, Barrymore has posted quite a few photos of herself without makeup. Oddly, one received a negative reaction, with some saying that the actress took the “no filter” look one step too far, since she has the money to pay for good skincare. Some people just can’t make up their minds!

However, the E.T. the Extra-Terrestial actress isn’t posting the sans-cosmetics photos for her fans, critics, or even herself! They’re for her daughters. “I’m now determined more than ever to show my daughters that aging is a luxury,” Barrymore revealed to People. “If we’re lucky, we are all going to age. I just want them to be at peace with who they are and not what they look like.”

Barbara Bach – 72-Years-Old

Back in the ’70s, legendary actress-model Barbara Bach first rose to prominence as one of the most iconic Bond Girls ever in The Spy Who Loved Me. In fact, nearly five decades later, she remains a Bond fan favorite! However, despite becoming one of the industry’s biggest names, Bach decided to retire in the late ’80s, after box office bomb To the North of Katmandu.

While Bach’s skin isn’t as tight as it used to be, she doesn’t mind being seen without makeup on! After all, she doesn’t have as many rep carpet or photoshoots to attend, so it’s quite common to see her sans cosmetics while out with her husband, Beatles drummer Ringo Starr. Still, even without makeup, it’s hard to believe the actress is 72!

Adriana Lima – 40-Years-Old

Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima became a modeling legend after becoming a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 1999. In fact, Lima holds the title for the longest contracted Angel, working with the company for nearly two decades, until 2018. Afterward, Victoria’s Secret named her “The Most Valuable Victoria’s Secret Angel” back in 2017.

In 2018, at the age of 37, Lima decided it was time to wave goodbye to the Victoria Secret runway. Most recently, Lima made a jump to the small screen in a Palm Casino resort ad, alongside rapper Cardi B and singer Rita Ora. Meanwhile, as you can see in the pictures above, Lima rocks the no makeup look! After all, she’s a supermodel!

Britney Spears – 38-Years-Old

Like so many other bust celebrities, the Princess of Pop, Britney Spears, finds it challenging to juggle a working life while being a mother of two. So, Spears often doesn’t wear makeup if she doesn’t absolutely have to. However, only recently did the “…Baby One More Time” singer begin posting photos without cosmetics.

In 2018, Spears re-opened her Instagram account and began filling fans’ feeds with cosmetics-free selfies. Most of them prove that Spears is not always picture-perfect, yet still manages to look great even without makeup on. Britney hasn’t released new music material since 2016, though she keeps her 26.4 million Instagram followers up to date by sharing exercise and dancing routines!

Carrie Underwood – 37-Years-Old

When country singer Carrie Underwood isn’t entertaining fans while rocking out on stage, she’s at the gym sweating it out. Just like us regular folks, she goes about her routine without an ounce of makeup on her lovely face. Meanwhile, just recently, Underwood posted a sweaty selfie of her post-workout look online!

Of course, with Underwood’s incredible resume, she could care less what the haters think of her no makeup look. In case you didn’t know, in 2018, Underwood released Cry Pretty, her sixth studio album. With its release, four of the singer’s country music albums have made it to the top of the Billboards 200 list, becoming the first female country artist to do so!

Chrissy Teigen – 34-Years-Old

Supermodel Chrissy Teigen always seems to have a great deal of confidence, with or without makeup. And who wouldn’t she? She looks photoshoot ready, even while running out of the house for errands! And let’s face it, with two little children at home and a full work schedule, Teigen rarely has time to breathe, left alone to throw makeup on!

This year, Teigen began posting pictures without makeup, even turning off Instagram and Snapchat that fix small blemishes. In response, fans began sending Teigen selfies of themselves without makeup or filters! Many of them said that the model’s initiative inspired them to acknowledge their natural beauty, which is fantastic.

Eva Longoria – 45-Years-Old

Latina icon Eva Longoria remains best remembered for her as Gaby in the hit television series Desperate Housewives. However, she’s also become quite famous for how carefully she curates her looks, specifically her legendary smoky eyes. In short, the actress seems like the last person ever to post a selfie without makeup on.

So, when Longoria posted a bare-faced selfie while on a family vacation, fans couldn’t believe their eyes! However, even without makeup on, Longoria looked ready to head to the red carpet! Still, we wonder if any fans spotted her abroad without her iconic eye shadow. Hey, maybe that was the point! If you want to look as naturally clear as Longoria, she has quite the tip: use baby oil instead of makeup remover. The actress swears by it!

Zooey Deschanel – 40-Years-Old

Fans can always count on actress Zooey Deschanel to rock the blush, her favorite makeup product, when hitting the red carpet. She’s also never shied away from her love of makeup, often letting fans know about her favorite products. However, in 2014 the New Girl star wanted to show that on Sunday morning, she looks the same as everyone else.

Deschanel posted her pre-shower, pre-makeup selfie, captioning the image “Good morning! #nomakeup #nofilter.” But the actress did not stop there.

Scarlett Johansson – 35-Years-Old

Over the years, plenty of pictures of actress Scarlett Johansson, makeup on and walking the red carpet, have appeared on “Sexiest Women Alive” lists. So, many don’t expect Johansson to appear without makeup very often. However, those folks don’t remember that in her debut film, Lost in Translation, Johansson appeared without makeup whatsoever in nearly every scene! Since then, she’s appeared makeup-free every once in a while.

These days, the actress continues to work as Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as in dramas, like Netflix’s indie film Marriage Story. While her next film, a Black Widow origin tale, was meant to come out in theaters, Disney will likely stream it, due to coronavirus.

Jennifer Lopez – 51-Years-Old

Whenever Jennifer Lopez appears on any red carpet events, you know she’s about to shut that thing down! Since her early days as a “Fly Girl,” J.Lo continues to look ageless while her songs continue to climb the charts, decades after her debut. Even though she did not look like it at the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show, the legendary singer is already 51-years-old!

Despite achieving what some call peak glamour, “Jenny from the Block” does like to share some makeup-free selfie from time to time with fans. And every time she does, fans still can’t believe she looks almost the same without makeup! So, it might just be that Lopez has genuinely found the font of youth…

Gabrielle Union – 47-Years-Old

For some strange reason, a long time ago, someone convinced celebrities and Americans that freckles are not cute. So, many, including actress Gabrielle Union, covered up their freckles with cosmetics. While you might know Union from Being Mary Jane fame, you probably didn’t know she also has the cutest freckle cluster on her face. Of course, if Union hadn’t posted a makeup-free selfie, no one would have never known!

Long before Union felt confident enough to post pictures without makeup online, she first starred on sitcoms and in teen flicks. Now, the 47-year-old has been a judge of America’s Got Talent and even started producing and directing, in addition to becoming an international star. These days, Union stars on the new police drama, L.A.’s Finest, which premiered in 2019.

Katie Holmes – 41-Years-Old

After all, Holmes is famous for starring in a wide variety of makeup and cosmetic campaigns, from Garnier Lumia’s hair coloring products to Miu Miu’s line of luxury makeup.

Still, Holmes would not the paychecks stop her from proving why she ended up on People Magazine‘s list of 50 Most Beautiful People. While Holmes took some time off to raise her daughter Suri Cruise, she recently made a comeback to the silver screen in Brahms: The Boy II.

Tyra Banks – 46-Years-Old

Supermodel Tyra Banks takes home the title of “Queen of Selfies Without Makeup.” Back in 2015, the America’s Next Top Model hostess shared her first raw image on Instagram. She told her fans she had “decided to give you a taste of the real me.” Even without her normal makeup team and photographers, Banks still looks flawless! It’s no wonder she made it so far on the runway, so to speak.

Even since then, the model continues to serve followers makeup-free selfies on her social media accounts. Her fans actually have a large appetite for her candid imagery. Even with a bare face, Banks knows how to “smile with her eyes,” a tip she regularly gives to contestants on her show!

Kaley Cuoco – 35-Years-Old

Many immediately recognize actress Kaley Cuoco as Penny No-Last-Name from the hit T.V. sitcom, The Big Bang Theory. However, many probably don’t know that the actress is a huge animal lover. As such, Cuoco often goes without makeup, as many cosmetics companies test their products on animals. However, believe it or not, Cuoco does not stop here!

Men, women, everyone wants to look great on their wedding day. While Cuoco didn’t want to go without makeup for her big day, she refused to use any product from companies that tested on animals. Thankfully, she later shared her solution on Instagram: $45 worth of drugstore cosmetics. That’s right! Cuoco wore Burt’s Bees and Ardell Studio for the special occasion!

Laverne Cox – 48-Years-Old

LGBT activist and Orange Is the New Black star Laverne Cox made history in the transgender community when she became the first female transgender to earn an Emmy nomination for her performance in Orange. As her photoshoot-ready makeup shows, Cox is passionate about cosmetics, regularly sharing tips on social media. However, this doesn’t mean that Cox always wears it.

In 2015, the actress posted a selfie without makeup on simply tagged #TransIsBeautiful. Later, Cox admitted there’s one time she opts for a makeup-free look: first dates. “I don’t glam up. I give maybe a little powder for shine, and I’m like – this is it,” the 48-year-old actress said.

Sharon Stone – 62-Years-Old

Believe it or not, actress Sharon Stone actually earned her start in Hollywood as a background extra in Woody Allen’s 1980 classic, Stardust Memories. Once Stone had a taste of being on-camera, she knew it was the life for her. However, it wasn’t until the ’90s that Stone became the icon that she remains today, thanks to the release of both Basic Instinct and Casino.

According to the actress, Stone prefers not to wear makeup when possible, only leaving the house with moisturizer on. “My mom was an Avon lady, and she gave me a jar of Avon Rich Moisture cream, and she said, ‘Put this on morning and night, and you’ll thank me for the rest of your life,” she told People Magazine. However, as a photographer snapped, Stone also likes to head to the salon sans makeup!
