These No-Make Up Snaps of Celebrities Will Make You Believe in the Power of Cosmetics

Zooey Deschanel

They say that foundation and makeup in general, is supposed to take years off someone’s face, but in the case of 500 Days of Summer actress, Zooey Deschanel, she ends up looking younger without any! From shining in comedy TV shows and dramatic movies to her real life, the star seems to have developed some sort of glow that emanates from her face, too. With her make up on, she can surely be the poster girl of any beauty school, but Zooey prefers to lay it all bare with her fans and often shares makeup-free photos of herself, letting us all know that she’s not flawless. To us, she is!

Susan Sarandon

Here’s a reminder that actress Susan Sarandon, from our favorite movies, Thelma & Louise, Stepmom and Dead Man Walking, is 73-years-old! She certainly made a profound impact when she made the cover of People Magazine in 2016, and she did so without any cosmetics on. As more and more older actresses are side-lined by Hollywood and limited to playing only the roles of mothers and grandmothers, this was a really bold statement for the actress to make. Every line, sag and wrinkle on her body tells a story and it’s refreshing to have this legendary actress be so honest about aging and beauty standards. Want to look like Susan when you’re in your 70s? Do what she does; moisturize, sleep well and repeat.
