Celebrities were quick to hop on the bandwagon when social media experienced a #NoMakeup and #wokeuplikethis revolution. Some of them posted epic fails since they assumed that things like lip gloss, eyeliner, and blush didn’t count. But some stars decided to put on a brave face (pun intended) and go 100% natural for their photos. We commend them for showing the world that women are beautiful without makeup. The results were enlightening, with some of these celebs coming out looking nearly unrecognizable. Here are our top picks.
1. Jennifer Lopez
J.Lo looks like she has found the fountain of youth in most of her photos, and her no-makeup pics are no exception. How is this woman 55? She often posts skincare routine videos on social media and has even designed skincare products herself with JLo Beauty Skin Care, so no wonder she has that natural glow.
2. Jessica Alba
Like many of the other natural beauties on this list, Jessica Alba decided to ruin her perfectly normal natural face and take a blurry photo with an awkward face. Snapped after a workout, maybe Alba thought she was capturing a post-exercise glow, but the sweaty and blurry combination isn’t something we would suggest for your next selfie.
3. Ariel Winter
This “Modern Family” star gets a lot of backlash for her weight and makeup-free looks, but we think she looks lovely when she embraces her au naturel aesthetic, which she started doing more and more in 2019. The actress told Pulse Spikes that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and we should celebrate our differences rather than criticize them.
4. Nicki Minaj
From candy-colored makeup schemes to impressively contoured looks, Nicki revealed herself to be a barefaced beauty in this post-shower selfie. That said, she looked nothing like her usual self with the dramatic Jessica Rabbit-esque lash extensions and eye shadow in which we usually see her.
