Here are some of the makeup-free celebrity selfies from stars like Gabrielle Union, Drew Barrymore, and Millie Bobby Brown — selfies that made our jaws drop, gave us a whole new appreciation for freckles, and inspired us to spend a little extra time tweaking our skin-care regimens so we, too, could gain that no-makeup mettle.
"I just can’t do it. I just can’t seriously take a selfie," Eva Mendes wrote in the caption when she posted this front-facing photo. But despite her reluctance, she managed to reveal just how incredible she looks when she skips her signature glam eye makeup and rosy lipstick. But whether or not she's makeup-free or wearing a full face, one fan said it best when they commented, "You’re always gorgeous 😘"
Makeup-free celebrity selfies aren't always all about showing off a flawless complexion; in the case of this 2019 post by Carrie Underwood, she wanted to share how hard she'd been exercising. "When your face matches your shirt = you had a good workout," she wrote, noting that both her Calia top and her skin were pink. "Unless your shirt is blue...then maybe you should be concerned! 😂"
Salma Hayek is arguably the queen of the no-makeup selfie, snapping bare-faced self-portraits by the beach, and recording windy front-facing videos as she sails through the water. It's hard not to love this 2018 one the most, not only because she's glowing, but because she's accompanied by the cutest little shepherd puppy.
Kris Jenner and her daughters may be known for their elaborate makeup looks, but it's because they have anything to hide. Just look at Jenner in this March 2019 selfie, in which she isn't wearing an ounce of Kylie Cosmetics, KKW Beauty, or any other makeup. As she documented her haircut with Chris McMillan, she assured followers that it was a "#nomakeup #nofilter" photo.
There's no age minimum for an impressive makeup-free selfie, as proven by 15-year-old Millie Bobby Brown. Her Florence by Mills skin-care products are treating her well if this fresh-faced photo is any indication. (Her brand doesn't have a sunscreen yet, but hopefully she took Drew Barrymore's advice and remembered to apply another brand's before this oceanside outing.)
Considering how much fans love to see a few freckles on their favorite celebrities' faces, it's not wonder Kesha's followers went wild when she let her ample collection show in this early-2019 selfie. The comment section is full of enthusiasm for her bare-faced look, which echoed her New Year's resolution: "to let my freckles liiiiiiiive."
Hailey Bieber may be the face of Bareminerals makeup — she's previously told Allure that its Complexion Rescue Hydrating Foundation Stick is the only foundation she's ever loved — but she looks just as gorgeous without it. Fans loved her natural look in this July 2019 selfie, especially the splash of freckles on her nose, writing comments like "Cute lil freckles," and, "Baby face hails 🥰."
Drew Barrymore damn near broke the internet when she posted this selfie of BFF Cameron Diaz and herself looking as luminous in 2018 as when they starred in Charlie's Angels in 2000. That's at least partially due to one of the hashtags Barrymore used in the caption: an all-caps #SUNSCREENALWAYS.
Gabrielle Union clearly didn't mean she was wearing a skimpy outfit when she wrote that she's "showin some skiiiiiinnn" in this 2018 selfie. The skin she was showing was her crystal-clear, dewy, ever-so-lightly freckled complexion that inspired fans to leave comments like "Naturally beautiful Gaby," and "Your skin tho." No wonder she has continued posting makeup-free selfies, like the equally stunning shot she posted in March 2019.
Even without the antique 128-carat diamond Tiffany necklace she's wearing, Lady Gaga would be glowing in this selfie she posted after the 2019 Oscars. Perhaps the radiance is due to having just won an Academy Award for Best Original Song, perhaps it's due to the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum her makeup artist, Sarah Tanno, has said she uses on the singer, perhaps it's a bit of both.
