Get inspired by these personalities who are making a movement to embrace the beauty of real skin
The best beauty content often features red carpet-approved entries or editorial makeup looks, but there is no other category that is as timeless and empowering as bare-faced selfies. Of course, celebrities like Catriona Gray and Bea Alonzo continue to front the movement as they inspire fans to embrace the beauty of real skin. Proudly stripped off from any ounce of foundation or concealer, these entries also serve as a healthy reminder that having spots, scars, dark circles, and all is a normal occurrence.

To introduce a refreshing conversation about celebrating real skin, we listed down standout moments where celebrities became a part of the makeup-free movement.
Dimples Romana
“For days when you want to keep it bare and simple,” Dimples Romana captioned as she exhibited her bare-faced entry. It’s quite impossible to fawn over the actress’ rosy glow. In the post, she showcased her makeup-free beauty. She also reminded her fans, “May your inner voice be always encouraging, honest, pure, and kind to you.”
Bea Alonzo
Vacation often cues for a makeup break. It’s one sentiment that Bea Alonzo would agree with. In a post, the celebrity showcased her bare-faced selfie entry. The main focus? Her natural and radiant complexion. And from here, we can’t help but wonder—when will the actress drop her coveted skincare routine with the list of her most trusted products?
Catriona Gray
In 2020, Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray wrote a powerful statement about embracing real skin. “Jumping on here with a bare-faced selfie to remind you that even though in photoshoots, makeup, and IG story filters, my skin looks flawless—in reality, I have pores, oiliness, fine lines, breakouts, beauty spots, and moles and I’m perfectly fine with that,” she expressed. “This is just a kind, little reminder to remember that what we see online is a curated feed and that we shouldn’t compare that to our everyday reality.”
Pamela Anderson
Pamela Anderson is also one star who is not afraid to go bare-faced in front of the camera. Alongside her entry, she wrote, “More and more often, I look in the mirror and grin and giggle with pride rather than cry. I recognize myself, and I’m happy with what I see.” She added, “I treasure my strangeness. I like to challenge beauty, the myth—especially now, I’m free, I’ve learned. Beauty truly comes from within. It is proven time and again.”
Salma Hayek
“Me waking up and counting how many white hairs and wrinkles have crashed the party this morning,” Salma Hayek joked in a caption. Her bare-faced entry highlighted the beauty of real aging: fine lines etched on her forehead and the hint of silver strands in her hair. To say the least, it’s refreshing to see more celebrities join the movement of creating honest conversations about the changes that come with maturing.
