These Stars Aren’t Afraid to Show Off Their Bare Faces! See Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow and More

Helena Bonham Carter

“People say I look really good, and it’s because I sleep a lot, which is the biggest collagen booster ever,” notes the Enola Holmes star. “I snooze during the day and eight or nine hours at night.”

Pamela Anderson

The Baywatch alum recently started going to events fresh-faced. “I am in an industry that really focuses on beauty. And I thought, ‘I’m going to challenge beauty,’” she has shared. “I think, really genuinely, beauty does come from within and you don’t have to play the game.”

Keira Knightly

A self-described “less is more” type of person, the Silent Night actress uses an MZ Skin contouring facial roller to make sure her blank canvas stays even-toned and taut. “I need some toning and lifting,” she says of the $90 beauty tool. “It’s magic.”

Tyra Banks

“So many fear getting older. That’s understandable,” the glowing supermodel, who turned 50 in December 2023, wrote on Instagram late last year. “Things just aren’t the same anymore. Our bodies. Our energy. Our minds. But I gotta say, my mind is FIERCER THAN EVER.”

Gwyneth Paltrow

The Goop guru has no issue with showing off her naked 51-year-old face. “I don’t want to erase time from the life I’ve lived,” she has said, “and I don’t have to be wrinkle-free.”

Alyssa Hannigan

On her Instagram page, the American Pie star would regularly post her before and after glam-ups ahead of Season 32 Dancing With the Stars performances with pro Sasha Farber. But the truth is, Alyson looks beautiful either way!

Julia Roberts

This is 56?! The Pretty Woman star left the cosmetics behind for a November 2023 selfie that showed off the radiant results of never skipping sunscreen.

Sofia Vergara

She’s known for her over-the-top glam, but the America’s Got Talent judge recently looked absolutely ravishing in the buff in a tub in Paris. “2am jetlag planning how to get this bathtub to LA,” Sofía, 51, captioned the snap.

“The key to great skin starts with sleep,” the Black-ish alum, has shared. Tracee, 51, swears by tinctures, serums and lotions as well, declaring, “Who needs makeup?”

Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz

The Goop guru is most comfortable barefaced. “I always love not wearing makeup,” Gwyneth, 51, said. “Makeup has always meant that I’m going to work.” Her “ride or die” Cam, also 51, looked pretty good fresh-faced, too!

Naomi Watts

To keep her age-defying complexion, the King Kong actress, 55, said she’s religious about drinking water and getting enough sleep. “If I don’t do well on both of those things, it absolutely manifests in my skin,” Naomi has dished.

Lily Collins

Fans love when the Emily in Paris star shares her natural beauty in natural selfies. “I don’t usually wear a lot of makeup,” Lily, 34, has said. “I have opportunities to go full force…and I look forward to them. But during my regular day-to-day, it’s ‘less is more.’”

Ana de Armas

“I have very sensitive skin, and [it can be] very reactive to all the makeup I have to put on every day when I’m shooting,” the Blonde beauty, 35, has spilled of regularly giving her complexion a breather. However, she doesn’t take breaks from sunscreen!

Selena Gomez

Her own vegan makeup line, Rare Beauty, is a big hit, but the Only Murders in the Building star, 31, isn’t afraid to go au naturel on Instagram! “Makeup is something to have fun with,” she’s noted, “but not something you need.”

Tiffany Haddish

Forget surface beauty products! Tiffany, 43, has said, “I’ve always been into inner beauty, because when you’re taking the proper time to give your body what it needs, it shows up on the outside.”

Kaley Cuoco

Since welcoming daughter Matilda in March, the Flight Attendant star regularly shares pics of herself sans makeup. It’s rare, however, for Kaley, 37, to post a shot without one of her many rescue dogs ….

Selena Gomez

Posting a fresh-faced throwback picture to her Instagram in February 2023, the Only Murders in the Building star wrote, “I liked my hair back then.. should I do it again?”

One fan responded, “If only more celebrities wore their natural beauty more like this. Women would feel 100 percent more comfortable with their appearance… NATURAL.”

The Bachelor alum looked gorgeous without makeup while grabbing a fruit smoothie after an intense workout in West Hollywood.

The actress absolutely stunned fans when she shared a makeup-free selfie in January 2022 while soaking up the rays poolside. Her clear skin absolutely glowed in the sunlight. Salma is known to wear a full face of makeup on the red carpet, but she proved her ageless beauty shines through with or without it.

In an August 10 series of Instagram Stories, she revealed  what she looked like makeup-free with her hair pulled back in barrettes before the stylists went to work.

Sofia is always glowing!

Cardi B

Cardi might just be the realest chick in Hollywood. Even though she’s quickly becoming one of our fave fashionistas, she never shies away from showing her bare face on Instagram. 

Kim Kardashian

Kim may be a makeup maven, even credited with bringing contouring to the mainstream, but she also likes to give her pores a break every once and a while, and post a selfie that puts her amazing skin on display. 

Kelly Clarkson

Kelly is always open with her fans, whether it’s abotu her relationship stuggles, mommy probs, or weight loss battle. So it’s no surprise that she shows off her bare face every now and then, and she still looks so radiant!

Demi once shared this beautiful bare-faced selfie and we think she looks stunning while sunning herself at the beach. Her freckles really shine!

Miley Cyrus

Miley may be invoking Old Hollywood glamour lately, but when she gets home, she’s still the same old Miley we know and love. Pigtails, fresh face, she’s definitely a country gal at heart! 

Kylie Jenner

Now that Kylie’s a mom, she seems to be embracing her makeup-free self more and more. We love seeing her natural lips (without fillers!) and her adorable freckles. 

Jennifer Garner

Jennifer is a mom, so she doesn’t always have time to spackle on some makeup. That’s why we often see her go makeup-free on Instagram, and she looks absolutely perfect!

Mama June

Mama June may have gotten a major makeover on From Not To Hot, but underneath, she’s still the same olf June we know and love from her Here Comes Honey Boo Boo days! 

Chrissy Teigen

Even supermodels need a day off every once and a while! Chrissy is famous for being her unabashed self, and that was especially true in a post-baby picture she posted to Instagram with not one stitch of makeup. So beautiful! 

Kendall Jenner

Kendall may be the supermodel of the Kardashian family, but she’s also the chillest, and wears makeup the least. Whenever she’s not slaying the runway, she seems to be giving her skin a break and looking naturally glam. 

Jordyn Woods

How is it possible that Jordyn looks just as good without makeup as she does with it? We love a model that doesn’t shy away from showing her bare face!

Kourtney is in her forties and she still looks like a teenager — with AND without makeup!

Who needs makeup when a koala is the star of your photo? Katy posed with her pal from down under, and she did it without a stitch of makeup on.

Rihanna

Sure, Rihanna may own one of the fastest-growing beauty companies, but the Fenty founder still knows how to relax without a face full of makeup. 

Eva Longoria

There’s no denying that Eva is a natural beauty, and she proved it by showing off her stripped-down face on Instagram. Can you even believe this stunner is in her forties?

Natalie Portman

Natalie definitely doesn’t need a glam squad to look like an out-of-this-world princess. She looks so cute without makeup on!

Gisele Bundchen

Gisele is considered one of the most beautiful women in the world, and it’s obvious that she knows it! Not only is she pretty, but she’s confident, and happily goes makeup-free all the time! And yes, that includes when she’s rooting for hubby Tom Brady on the NFL sidelines.

Taylor Swift

Look what we made her do! Taylor had no problem slathering on the lipstick every night of her Reputation tour, but when she’s home with the kitties, all she wants to do is relax and let her skin do the same!

The starlet loves to get glammed up, but her natural beauty is on point. She went makeup-free on Instagram in December 2019, and we’re shook over her crystal-clear skin.
