These No-Make Up Snaps of Celebrities Will Make You Believe in the Power of Cosmetics
Jessica Alba
Owning a successful ethical beauty and lifestyle brand, The Honest Company (their shampoos are amazing, by the way!), fully qualifies actress Jessica Alba to start her own beauty school. The actress, who we know from movies such as Fantastic Four and Into the Blue, actually believes that beauty lies inside and can’t just be painted on. Alba even starred in a video to show her fans how she does her ‘no makeup makeup look’ using minimal cosmetic products. And surprisingly it involves mixing a glow primer with her moisturizer and massaging it on her face. The entrepreneur and busy mom-of-three actively ditches the mascara, foundation and fake lashes many a times, and her selfies, sans makeup, look flawless.
Gabrielle Union
When Gabrielle, the actress of Bad Boys II fame, first appeared on the covers of People Magazine in 2009, she was very nervous as she was going to be on the cover, completely barefaced. After exactly a decade, when she was asked to re-appear on the covers without any cosmetics, she had grown comfortable in her skin and immediately said yes! Her freckles, which are usually hidden under layers of foundation, are fully on display in her Instagram photos and there’s no hiding them. Union says that she feels the most like herself when she does not wear makeup. A fool proof way to having the actress’s supple skin is getting some fresh air, as frequent air conditioning can strip your skin of moisture.
