The history of makeup starts around 3100 BC in ancient Egypt, so it’s no wonder we can’t do without it today. It has been part of our lives for millennia!
Roman philosopher Plautus once wrote: “A woman without paint is like food without salt,” so it’s no surprise that women have been under constant pressure to paint their faces.
More recently, the “clean face” movement has taken over social media, with people showing what they look like without a stitch of cosmetics.
Celebrities often feel the need to post photos of themselves without makeup so that their fans can see that they’re “just like us,” imperfections and all.
Here are 20 celebrities who dared to go bare:
1. Jennifer Lopez
JLo is a natural beauty, who at the age of 52 remains as fresh-looking as she was in her 30s.
A posh skincare routine must be her secret. (And we do think there might be a filter or some Facetune involved – just sayin’.)
2. Gwyneth Paltrow
The famous actress is all for natural beauty. She even hosted a “no makeup party” for her friends last year.
3. Sofia Vergara
The Colombian-American actress is 49 and rocking it. She is a beautiful woman who still looks gorgeous without makeup.
4. Lady Gaga
From her “Bad Romance” days to being named “Queen of Pop,” the pop star’s appearance has received good and bad reviews.
Still, at 35, her beauty is obvious even when she wears no makeup.
5. Olivia Wilde
The award-winning actress and activist dares to post makeup-free photos on social media. And she totally rocks the naked-face style.
6. Shakira
At the age of 44, Shakira hardly looks 35! The superstar performer looks great whether she has makeup on or not.
7. Kesha
American singer, songwriter and animal rights activist Kesha feels comfortable with her skin and often likes to show off her freckles.
Get some sunscreen, girl!
8. Rebel Wilson
The Australian comedian and fierce advocate of body positivity had to be one of those famous women who embrace their bare skin.
It’s great to see!

In fact, she’s given up makeup altogether.
