Whether it’s to make a statement or simply because they don’t feel like it, celebs have been known to post unfiltered selfies on their social media channels or appear in live streams without any make-up on. To encourage you to do the same here is a list of a few celebrities from whom you can take inspiration.
Lena Gercke
Few years back, Lena Gercke announced on Instagram that she would no longer post pictures with filters from now on. Since then, the 32-year-old has not only shown herself without a filter, but often even completely without make-up. Not only that, but with a holiday post, the natural beauty also drew attention to her alleged flaw: “Do you also have a smaller eye?” Asked one of the moderators in regards to the picture. And of course, numerous fans answered her directly and admitted that it is the same with them.
Adriana Lima
“Victoria’s Secret” model Adriana Lima is 40! And on one of her birthdays, the model posted a very well-lit no-make-up selfie on Instagram. When you look at it that way, it’s hard to believe that Adriana is already 40. The model herself commented on her picture with the words: “A bit of sunlight!” and received numerous congratulations from her fans. However, if you look very closely, it shows that Adriana cheated with a little eyeliner. Otherwise, the look for the make-up-loving model is very natural.
Heidi Klum
German supermodel Heidi Klum is no stranger to selfies without makeup and is proud to show herself without make-up on Instagram: At the end of 2018, for example, she posted an Insta picture in which she was completely without make-up and happy with her fiancé Tom Kaulitz on the beach. Someone claims again that love doesn’t make you beautiful! In our opinion, she looks a lot better without makeup than at any gala event.
Pokimane
Pokimane is a legend in the gaming community. She has over 8.5 million followers on Twitch and millions more on other social media sites. Every week thousands of viewers tune in to watch her stream and she has even streamed with the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. While that was a memorable stream, it was the Pokimane No Makeup stream which took the cake, where she dared to do the whole stream with zero makeup.
Vanessa Hudgens
In the past you would have rarely seen Vanessa Hudgens without makeup. But now the actress has opted to be seen completely unvarnished not once but several times. But why? The 32-year-old was chosen on the list of the most beautiful people of the US magazine “People” – and chose to celebrate it with her no-make-up post on Instagram and since then she has never looked back. To be fair it was not the first time, as Vanessa herself wrote in her comment on the picture: “I’m really honored. Also because we shot without make-up. THAT’S ME! By the way: We did that exactly 10 years ago and once did that no-makeup thing. Lol! Yay! “
Lea Michele
Acne can really be a tough lot. Stars also suffer a lot from red pimples all over their faces. It is nice, however, that more and more celebrities are dealing with it and also making care recommendations. “Glee” star Lea Michele posted a no-make-up selfie with a strong message in her Instagram stories. Her comment: “I have suffered from acne all my life and I even had Accutane medications behind me (…). With a healthy diet, my beautician and the right care, I got it under control.” Her tip: “You should drink a lot of water, sleep a lot, wash your face in the evening and not smoke.” We definitely agree with her!
Gwyneth Paltrow
Actress and entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow is for many the ultimate role model when it comes to a healthy lifestyle. Whether you really should take the lifestyle author’s sometimes bizarre advice seriously is up to you (we just say vaginal douche!). However, what speaks in favor of trying out some of the health tips is her make-up-free selfies. On them the blonde beauty shows her completely make-up free and quite natural side – and looks as youthfully fresh as she did 20 years ago when she was still dating Brad Pitt.
