13 Times Celeb Makeup-Free Selfies Were Skincare Goals
While we know not everyone is ready to hop on the no-makeup train (sometimes a girl just needs her concealer), we love it when our fave celebs post makeup-free pics on social media. Bare-faced selfies show stars like Kylie Jenner in a refreshing light, while also giving their skin a much-needed break from endless layers of product. We’re gonna cross our fingers and hope that Kylie’s latest no-makeup selfie caption, “no makeup Tuesdays,” becomes an Insta-standard. We’ve rounded up 13 famous ladies and their fresh-faced selfies that prove less is definitely more.
1. Lady Gaga: Move over, hair bows and meat dresses — this candid shot of Gaga jamming to a live performance from The Dirty Pearls in a T-shirt without any makeup on might just be our fave look from the fashion-forward chameleon yet. Nothing says carefree summer days like a bare face.

3. Chrissy Teigen: Captioned, “Yes I am on the floor having a dog photo shoot hoping no one comes in.” TBH, all we want in life is to be Chrissy’s BFF. And Chrissy, if you could write a book on mastering the art of the bun updo and glowing skin, that would be perf.

4. Gigi Hadid: Even on the rainiest of days, this supermodel’s natural beauty can’t stop shining through. Also, where can we find that amazing tee?
5. Beyoncé: With a flower crown, freckles and gorgeous makeup-free skin, it’s official — Queen Bey was totally a goddess in another life. If only our Insta could be this majestic.
6. Daisy Ridley: The force is strong with Daisy in her close-up selfie. With a simple caption and perfectly casual hair, we can’t get over her beauty. We’re pretty sure there is some filter action going on here, though…

7. Selena Gomez: We are all Selena and Co. in this post-SoulCycle workout pic — except we would probably be a lot less natural glow and more super sweaty with a touch of B.O. Gotta love her spin-perfect top knot.
8. Hilary Duff: Yes to both the “nope” top and the radiant no-makeup skin from this singer-actress-mom extraordinaire. From the expression on her face, we can tell that Hilary is not having it.
9. Amy Schumer: We won’t lie — we LOL’d hard at the actress-comedian’s caption, “So nervous. I’m up next. #missuniverse.” She’s obviously the Miss Universe of our hearts with this bare-faced, bundled up winter look.
10. Lorde: Being unafraid to post a gorgeous pre-bedtime selfie in acne cream is what makes Ella a true royal. We’ve all been there, Lorde. We’ve all been there.

12. Carrie Underwood: Post workout sesh, Carrie snaps a makeup-free selfie starring Penny, her loyal (and adorable) pup. Her caption might say that she’s a “sweaty mess,” but from where we’re sitting, she’s pure glow!
