Pamela Anderson says her decision to go makeup-free wasn't about being pretty. 'It was "I'm brave."'
Pamela Anderson is opening up about her decision to go makeup-free, as well as her approach to self confidence. The Canadian-born actress recently appeared on the "How To Fail" podcast, where she spoke candidly about reclaiming beauty on her own terms. 'It wasn't about 'look at me, I'm pretty,'' she said about her decision to go makeup-free. 'It was 'I'm brave.'' Her words echo a deeper message — not just about going makeup-free, but about reclaiming identity, aging with authenticity and self acceptance. Read on for the highlights from Anderson's unfiltered interview. Anderson, 58, has made headlines over the past couple of years for choosing a no-makeup approach to life — whether she's doing a photoshoot, walking a red carpet or hanging out at home. "Everybody was so horrified when I decided I didn't need a glam team for certain events," she said. "When I was in Paris, I thought, 'Who's looking at me?' Is anyone going to fall over backwards if I'm not wearing makeup? And that's where it started, at Paris Fashion Week." "And it just sent everybody scrambling around me thinking, 'No, this is not what people do.' And I said, 'Well, that even gives me more reason to do it,'" she explained. "Not that it was world peace or anything, but it was just me challenging myself, thinking, why am I sitting in a makeup chair for three hours when I'm not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room?" she continued. Anderson said she began to feel that makeup "really didn't do any favours." "If I put makeup on, I like a lot of glam, a big glamorous look like in a photo shoot or something very fun," she said. "How I personally like myself is just completely barefaced." "Me not wearing makeup and me being at this age, coming into this part of my career, I felt like it was important for me, in my personal life, to be more natural," she said. Anderson also said she's always been a bit of a "rebel," and wants to continue to challenge beauty standards. "I get people coming up to me on the street, at the grocery store, on the plane, and really loving this choice that I've made," she said. "I feel like it is resonating and it's something I want to explore deeper, even for myself, because I'm a rebel. I'm always challenging things," she continued. "I'm always doing the opposite of what people tell me to do." I'll see a picture of myself where I go, 'Oh, I look terrible.' And then I have to go, 'No, that's how I look.' And that's Anderson "We have these generational habits, the way that we're brought up even, and these things stick in our head," she continued. "So, I want to break free of that." "I feel like this is a little bit of a rebel move, to be who you want to be. Like what is beauty? Beauty is subjective, and we don't have to look like the covers of magazines." That said, she said even she can struggle with her self image. "I have to catch myself, too," she says. "I'll see a picture of myself where I go, 'Oh, I look terrible." And then I have to go, 'No, that's how I look.' And that's OK." "The Last Showgirl" star also spoke about the link between social media and women's mental health. "I've seen how this social media craze has really created a bit of depression in women," she said. "How they don't look like their Instagram photos when they look in the mirror." "I think people have to realize that all these images are retouched or have filters on them, and people can make themselves look any way they want. So, it's not a good resource for body image," she said. She added that every generation "has its challenges with body image and with beauty and with what we think is trendy or looks good." "We try and keep up with the Joneses, or we do what everybody else is doing." Anderson said that her current approach to beauty is accepting herself as she is. "We're not trying to chase youth," she said. "That's just been fed to us, to look as young as we possibly can, as long as we can." "I have my own insecurities and things I catch myself [doing], but I think that's the challenge," she added. "To embrace those parts of yourself, even the ones you don't necessarily like a lot." As for Anderson's advice to anyone struggling with their own body image? The "Baywatch" actress, who recently partnered with Dove for their Self Esteem Project, says that we're our "own worst critics." Nobody else is judging you," Anderson said. "I feel like that was my 'aha!' moment," she continued. "When I realized they're more worried about the way they look, and that I can go to the beach in a bathing suit. I can look at myself in a less-critical way." "Body image should be based on, 'how do you feel healthiest?' and I think that's the most beautiful."

Pop star, 24, likened to Britney Spears over stunning no makeup look
Pop star Addison Rae has been compared to hitmaker Britney Spears after debuting a makeup-free look during her album press tour. The TikToker-turned-singer, 24, recently released her debut album Addison on June 6, which features hits like Diet Pepsi and Headphones On. While promoting the new LP and her upcoming tour tour, she raised eyebrows over her choice to go glam-free during press events. After she sat down for an interview with Kiss Radio with minimal makeup, fans praised her bold move in droves on social media. Many also compared her to another star who is known to take major risks: ...Baby One More Time songstress Britney. The Toxic singer, 43, is known for dancing on stage in her bra and underwear and famously went all-natural for many interviews and events back in the '90s. Dozens of people made the comparison under a video that was shared about Addison's lack of makeup. 'It's giving '90s Britney,' one user observed. Britney, now 43, famously went all-natural for many interviews and events back in the '90s. She's seen with minimal makeup at the Billboard Music Awards in 1999 'Makes me think of Britney,' another said, while someone else wrote, 'She's so Britney.' A few other commenters said Addison's look was a 'breath of fresh air' and that she was 'the moment.' Many people were 'obsessed' with the decision to step out with very little makeup, and makeup artist Michaeline Barker even chimed in, claiming it was a symbolic choice given Addison usually has a full face of glam. 'So, when she shows up to her debut album press tour with basically no glam, it's not because she can't. It's a choice, it's a power move,' Michaeline detailed in a TikTok. 'She's showing up to interviews with raw skin, undone hair, and for a pop star, especially when you're introducing yourself to the world musically for the first time, it's pretty unheard of. 'She is sending a message that she doesn't need glam or to be packaged in any type of way to be seen, heard and taken seriously. It's like the anti-pop pop rollout.' Additional TikTokers have chimed in on her makeup-free choice. One TikToker posted a video writing: 'Addison's no makeup press tour is historic. Her natural lip color is perfection. HOW does she do it folks?' A few other commenters said Addison's look was a 'breath of fresh air' and that she was 'the moment' Many commenters agreed, while others pointed out that the iconic Pamela Anderson has been going no makeup for years. Someone else posted a video that read: 'Addison Rae not wearing makeup during her press tour has rewired something in my brain. 'It's a power move I've never seen done before and it's intentional. She is the people's princess.' A different user commented: ' Alicia Keys has done it too before her! It's golden.' This isn't the first time the star has been compared to Britney. In October 2024, Addison dressed almost identically to Britney during a public outing.

Makeup-free Lindsay Lohan, 38, looks like a TEENAGER in new selfie with wet hair after denying plastic surgery
Lindsay Lohan looks decades younger than her years in a new makeup-free selfie after recently shutting down the countless rumors online that she got a facelift. In her latest Instagram post, the actress, 38, could easily pass for a teenager as she shared a new photo of herself in the car rocking wet hair and a white blouse. 'Skin's on vacation mode,' she captioned the image, which received more than 50,945 likes in less than two hours. Her comment section was filled with sweet messages from her more than 15.6 million Instagram followers, many of whom gushed that she looked 'radiant and flawless.' 'You're so beautiful Lindsay,' one fan wrote underneath the post. 'Love seeing your happy glow!' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Another raved: 'So glad to see you shining again.' Others pleaded for her to share her entire skincare routine and the exact juice she drinks in the morning, which she partially credits for her glow. Earlier this month, Lohan and her publicist addressed speculation that she underwent plastic surgery to reduce signs of aging during an interview with Elle. 'The second she looks any different, they assume she had her face lifted at 37 or 38, that she ripped apart this or that. It's so mean,' Lohan's publicist explained. Lohan, who gave birth to her first child in July 2023, then quipped: 'I'm like, "When? With what time? Where?"' 'I tried to figure that out, Linds, in the last three years, when you had time to do anything, because I know your schedule,' her publicist added. 'So the haters can hate and be jealous. It just sucks that that's where they go with women in today's world. Women can't just look good to look good and change their lifestyle to be more healthy.' Lohan explained she has learned to brush off the rumors and 'ignore everyone else.' She proceeded to attribute her glow-up to her new skincare routine, Botox, adhering to a healthier diet and 'less invasive procedures like laser facials.' 'I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water,' she insisted. 'I'm a big pickled beets person, so I put them in almost everything.' Additionally, she starts her morning drinking a 'carrot, ginger, lemon, olive oil, apple' juice and adds chia seeds to her water throughout the day. 'I'm a big believer in ice-cold water on your face when you wake up,' she told readers. The star noted that she did try 'Morpheus8 once' but stopped after realizing her 'skin is so thin' that she couldn't 'be doing that.' 'My skin changed after having my son. It got really sensitive. That's what really made me change my whole routine and diet and everything. I did blood tests, and I was like, 'I want to know everything I'm allergic to.' So I cut everything out, and that's kind of when everything started to change for me,' Lohan disclosed.
