Pamela Anderson is finished with make-up.
For the previous couple of months, the Ladysmith, B.C.-born Anderson — who for a lot of her profession was best-known as a Hollywood bombshell and Playboy mannequin — has ditched her make-up virtually completely, opting as a substitute for a relaxed, fresh-faced look together with her freckles on full show.
Even on the most high-profile occasions, like final week’s Vivienne Westwood Paris Fashion Week present, Anderson has finished away with social norms and embraced her pure magnificence.
The former Baywatch star wore solely a light-weight coat of mascara and classic designer clothes from her personal closet to the Paris occasion.
In an interview with Vogue France earlier than the Vivienne Westwood present, Anderson, 56, stated the selection to not put on a full face of make-up got here subconsciously.
“I was dressing in these beautiful clothes, and I thought, ‘I don’t want to compete with the clothes.’ I’m not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room,” she defined within the interview launched Tuesday. “I feel like it’s freedom. It’s like a relief.”
Anderson didn’t have a glam staff or stylist for the occasion, that are almost ubiquitous for any celeb.
“You have to challenge beauty sometimes,” she defined, including that her mom had at all times stated Anderson would someday tire of carrying make-up.
“If we all chase youth, or we’re all chasing our idea of what beauty is in fashion magazines and everything, we’re only going to be disappointed, or maybe a little bit sad.”
Anderson stated as a girl within the public eye, she desires to be a job mannequin for others and show that girls of any age shouldn’t have to abide by inflexible magnificence requirements.
A ‘natural beauty revolution’
Many of Anderson’s followers, together with different celebrities, have praised Anderson for her new makeup-free look.
Actor Jamie Lee Curtis applauded her for not carrying make-up. In an Instagram put up Sunday, Curtis, 64, stated Anderson has launched the “natural beauty revolution.”
Curtis shared two images of Anderson from the Isabel Marant present at Paris Fashion Week on Sept. 28.
“This woman showed up and claimed her seat at the table with nothing on her face,” she wrote. “I am so impressed and floored by this act of courage and rebellion.”
In the feedback, a few of Curtis’ followers took challenge with the actor’s categorization.
“I think that rather applauding women wearing no makeup, we should be applauding that she seems to have found her comfort zone and seems to be embracing what that is for her at that age,” one Instagram consumer wrote. “I don’t think we should start applauding less makeup, more makeup, etc., but rather women embracing what THEY want to do in the moment and not what anyone else wants them to do.”
Another chided that Anderson’s makeup-free look is “great but women should not be labeled brave for feeling comfortable in their own skin.”
Curtis made one other put up about Anderson solely days later. She shared two stills from the Vogue France interview.
“FREEDOM IS BEAUTIFUL!” Curtis wrote.
Many others on social media echoed Curtis’ sentiment and shared their admiration for Anderson.
In August, Anderson stated she stopped carrying make-up after her pal and make-up artist Alexis Vogel died from breast most cancers in 2019. The star advised Elle she felt “better” not carrying make-up since Vogel’s loss of life.
“I did notice that there were all these people doing big makeup looks, and it’s just like me to go against the grain and do the opposite what everyone’s doing,” she defined. “I think we all start looking a little funny when we get older. And I’m kind of laughing at myself when I look at the mirror. I go, ‘Wow, this is really…what’s happening to me?’ It’s a journey.”
