“Doesn’t It Feel Free?”: 19 Stars Seen Without Makeup Or Professional Lighting

The 58-year-old star said she’s determined to age “gracefully and naturally” and that she has chosen to avoid cosmetic surgeries.

“It's a shame that as women, we're being told that we have to find a way to stay eternally young,” Halle expressed. “Forever 30, as though we're not allowed to be human and do what we're naturally born to do. We're born to age and d*e."

Last year, she posted a natural mirror selfie, which she captioned, “The way you see yourself is what matters most!”

In 2022, the Frida actress took to Instagram to showcase her natural beauty, sharing a makeup-free selfie in a purple swimsuit.

“There was a time when I was the s*xy girl, but thank God age came and gave me the ability to expand to other territories. Although I’m still s*xy and I embrace it,” Salma told Marie Claire. 

She added: “Another calling that I have is to remind everyone that women are not disposable after a certain age in any department. We should battle that with all we’ve got.”

While Billie typically rocks bold eye makeup on the red carpet and at her concerts, the singer-songwriter isn’t shy about sharing her barefaced beauty on social media.

Discussing her personality and aesthetic choices with Elle, she said, “I don’t need to always prove to everyone that I’m a tomboy. Like, that is what I am, but I also am this kind of girl. I’m also feminine, and I’m also s*xy, and I’m also cute, and I’m also just like, none of the above, and I’m just me.

“I’m allowed to be whatever I want to be when I want to be it.”

As per Vogue, the Birds of a Feather musician doesn’t have a glam squad on tour, instead doing her hair and makeup herself.

The actress has undergone a noticeable transformation since her breakout role in Transformers.

Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Megan detailed all the cosmetic procedures she has had, including breast augmentation, which she initially underwent when she was “21 or 22,” as well as rhinoplasty, Botox, fillers, and lasers.

Explaining that she doesn’t “take surgery lightly,” the superstitious star said she has very specific pre-op requirements, “All my doctors have to meet with me before and have to tell me if they’ve seen any omens. If they saw any owls, crows, if anyone stepped on a spider, if there were any de*d insects. My doctors have to go through this with me.”

We’re all used to seeing Gwyneth in a glowy makeup look with rose-colored lips and warm eyeshadow that accentuates her eyes. Still, the Oscar-winning actress has recently shared several makeup-free selfies with her fans on social media.

In 2023, she told British Vogue that she was "embracing" aging. “As women, we want to be healthy, we want to be aging. This idea that we’re supposed to be frozen in time is so weird,” she expressed.

“It’s handsome to go grey [as a man], but for women it’s like, ‘What do you plan to do about your wrinkles and your aging skin?’ There’s definitely a double standard.”

Two years ago, J.Lo posted a “just woke up” photo from bed, still wearing her green pajamas. 

“Good morning and Happy Monday! It’s going to be a great week!!” she captioned the photo, which showed the star without the heavy glam that we’re used to seeing on the red carpet.

“I love being fully made up and looking glamorous and being kind of the JLo that everybody knows in movies and videos and all that kind of stuff. But there's also just you with no makeup on and without all of the embellishments and that is just as beautiful,” the On the Floor singer told People.

“I know I don't look how you're used to me looking, but this is me too, and I love this side of me. You don't need all of that stuff all the time."
