Eva Mendes, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Aniston and more, see these stars go bare-faced in these no makeup selfies

Their beauty shines through more than ever when these celebrities are makeup free


UPDATED FEBRUARY 5, 2020 2:41 AM EST

Of course, celebs have access to the best makeup artists and the most exclusive products on the market, allowing them to constantly achieve that  beauty  look of perfection. However, more and more of them are choosing to go makeup-free, proving they are just as beautiful with or without makeup.

  Alicia Keys  has already turned going makeup-free into a lifestyle, and Lena Dunham’s letter published in her newsletter, Lenny, describes how the pressure she felt to always look beautiful and elegant led to her decision to not wear makeup. Others have chosen to post photos of their makeup-free faces as a recognition of natural beauty. Keep scrolling to see who else has decided to join the no makeup movement!

“I have just realized that a fever of 102 degrees gives you the perfect pink blush to your cheeks. I need this color, Covergirl,” colombian actress Sofia Vergara jokingly captioned this selfie, completely makeup free. The candid snap proves that she likes to show herself to the world as she really is, with or without her glam squad.

Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz

Drew Barrymore has her own affordable beauty collection, Flower Beauty, and she often shares tips about how to maintain healthy skin. That’s what she did with this selfie with her BFF Cameron Diaz , adding the hashtags #nomakeup #nofilter, and one to we all need to pay attention to: #SUNSCREENALWAYS.

Jessica Alba

Seeing Jessica Alba’s natural beauty shine through is not all that uncommon. As in this case, where the California-born Latina star, creator of Honest Company, appears in this photo with her hair tied up and without a single drop of makeup... after having done a 30-minute cardio workout!

Rihanna

In 2018, Time wrote of Rihanna’s cosmetics company: “In just one year, Fenty Beauty has changed the makeup industry,” as they named it one of the best creations of 2017. Yes, Rihanna has indeed revolutionized the makeup industry, but hasn’t stopped her from posting photos of herself without a single trace of makeup on, as in the case here.

Eva Mendes

Eva Mendes published a photo of herself and her enviable glowing skin on her social media next to the hastag #NoFilterNoPersonality, writing, “To be honest, I cannot do it. I simply cannot take a serious selfie. So, for those who have been asking, here goes and I apologize. And for the rest of you who have never asked for this, I also apologize.”

Eva Longoria

In this fresh-faced photo of Eva Longoria captioned “My Sunday morning”, we see the foot of her tiny son, Santi, dangling over her as they lie in bed together. This is not the first time we have seen her without makeup on on on social media. The actress has shown off a freshly-cleansed beautiful visage in many of her Instagram snaps.

Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek posted a series of no makeup selfies on her beach holiday, with wet hair and a straw hat to protect her from the sun. And this is not the first time she has caused a frenzy with her natural posts. The Mexican actress showed off her thick, natural tresses in one of her most commented-on photos, declaring she is proud of her grey hairs.

Gabrielle Union

Gabrielle Union feels just as comfortable with or without makeup. The star of Being Mary Jane explains that her radiant skin is thanks to her sleeping habits, as she confessed to Women’s Health: “I sleep eight hours a night and I do not let myself get stressed. Many people call it selfish but I don’t have a single wrinkle”. Take note!

Jessica Biel

“Spreading a bit of self love with zero filters and zero makeup for my girl @KateUpton, who strives to encourage everyone to feel strong and to love themselves just as they are. I feel so honoured to help spread this message. Take a second to show your true self. Tag someone you admire and pass the message on,” wrote Jessica Biel on her social media account - without a doubt, an inspiring message for all her followers.

Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum celebrated her marriage to guitarist Tom Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel in Capri aboard the Onassis yacht, the Christina O, a few months after saying “I Do” during a private ceremony in California. She posted this natural photo as the perfect occasion to show fans a glimpse of their romantic getaway.

Lady Gaga

Singer, actress and producer, Lady Gaga , who has already released her own makeup line, Haus Laboratories, also demonstrated the power of a makeup-free photo. Although the focus of this pic is undoubtedly her Tiffany’s diamond choker, something else stands out: her radiant, no-makeup look.

Kaia Gerber

Kaia Gerber captioned this poolside photo in which she rocks a swimsuit, “Morning looks” - and she’s completely, and gorgeously, makeup-free. Maybe her mom Cindy Crawford – who has posted several makeup-free selfies, and who always follows the rule that “less is more” – is an example we should all follow.

Kourtney Kardashian

“No makeup needed. I have been using my Hora x Poosh Derma facial roller three nights a week with Hora x Poosh Hyaluronic Halo + CBD serum. Both have completely changed the texture and tone of my skin, especially after being in the sun all summer”, Kourtney Kardashian captioned this selfie. Moral of the story? Taking care of your skin really can make a difference.

Lana del Rey

We are used to seeing Lana del Rey with a hairstyle reminiscent of past decades, and equally retro makeup thanks to her iconic cat eye look. But in this selfie, we see her fresh-faced and makeup free, with shorter hair than usual. No doubt her fans were pleasantly surprised to see this little known side of the singer.

Ashley Graham and Joan Smalls

Models Ashley Graham and Joan Smalls took this photo of their natural faces backstage. How do they manage to achieve this radiant look? Ashley told Elle that she uses rose water products in her beauty routine, which contain glycerin that hydrates your skin, while Joan told Byrdie that she does face masks before all of her photoshoots!

Taylor Hill

Model Taylor Hill is not afraid to show her acne scars. This is just one of the many selfies she has posted without filters or editing, which shows her natural beauty that fans adore. She demonstrates that, like everybody else, she suffers from skin problems and does not try to hide them.

We love that so many celebrities have decided to join the #nomakeup movement, and with these examples, it is clear that beauty and naturalness are even more powerful as a duo.
