Pamela Anderson is nothing short of a beauty icon. Known for her signature voluminous blonde locks, pouty lips and razor-thin eyebrows, the star pared all that down for a bare-faced photoshoot and proved she’s just as stunning – if not more so – when she goes makeup-free.

Born on July 1, 1967, Anderson grew up in the small town of Ladysmith in British Columbia, Canada. First discovered while at a football game in Vancouver, she posed for the October 1989 cover of Playboy magazine. Her appearances in Playboy helped launch her career and led to her become one of the most recognizable figures in the entertainment industry.

In 1992, Anderson landed her breakout role as C.J. Parker on “Baywatch.” The show was a huge success, and her portrayal of the lifeguard became an iconic character of the 1990s. Anderson’s success on “Baywatch” led to a number of film and television roles, including the lead role in the television series “V.I.P.” and appearances in movies such as “Barb Wire” and “Scary Movie 3.”

Anderson has also been active in animal rights and environmental activism. She has been a supporter of organizations such as PETA and Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and has been vocal about issues such as animal testing and the use of fur in fashion.

Since then, Anderson has proven time and time again that her beauty is timeless. At 56, Anderson seemed to develop a new liking for going bare-faced and makeup-free on her photoshoots and various appearances. Keep on reading to learn more about Anderson’s “journey” toward embracing her natural beauty and proving to everyone that she’s more beautiful without makeup on.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to explain Anderson’s appeal. With her delicate features, big beautiful smile and flowing blonde hair, she was the epitome of every man’s dream girl. For women, she launched various beauty trends such as tousled hair, overlined lips, smoky eyes and pencil-thin eyebrows. She revealed while she understood why the media made so much about her looks, she never felt particularly special.

“I never thought I was a great-looking person or a great-looking woman,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. She added, “I was really comfortable in my skin and I didn't care so much. I thought, nobody's perfect and imperfections are sexy.”

For someone who used to court so much attention for her looks, Anderson isn't at all afraid of seeing her appearance change. 

“Aging isn’t a scary thing for me,” she told the publication. “You're just as old as you feel… I think good relationships and having positive people around you, people that really embrace who you are as a person, is really uplifting and anti-aging, you know? Aging happens when you're stressed and worried and jealous, or angry or bitter about your life.”

During an appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast, Anderson – who, in 1999, famously reversed her breast augmentation that had garnered so much fame – delved deeper into her views on aging.

“I never felt like I was any kind of great beauty, ever, no. Just a little funny-looking,” she revealed, and added, “I can’t wait to see myself old.”

She also went on to say that she would recognize herself looking old in the mirror. From letting her hair go natural gray, donning a little straw hat, and going bare-faced – Anderson confessed that it’s her “comfortable kind of state.”

In February 2023, Anderson did the unthinkable for a celebrity of her age – she appeared on a cover shoot without any makeup on. The stunning bare-faced photos published by Women’s Wear Daily showed off the star’s natural beauty, including her adorable freckles and glowing skin. The 56-year-old looked gorgeous and happy as she posed in outfits by Jill Sander, Victoria Beckham, and Rick Owens. 

With the photos, Anderson proved to the world she didn’t need makeup to feel comfortable in her skin, something she said as much to the outlet.

“I really feel powerful right now when everything’s very pared down. I like to see my freckles. I like when my hair isn’t done. I like just a really fresh face. I don’t like those injections, and that doesn’t work on me. I want to see what’s going to happen. … I’m accepting myself a lot more these days, and it feels great,” she told the publication. 

It’s an unfortunate truth that many women feel the need to always wear makeup to meet beauty and societal standards, which can lead to self-esteem and confidence issues. However, for Anderson, the best beauty trick she could share is being happy and brave. 

“Happiness is the best beauty trick. Being brave is sexy. Feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Fighting for freedom starts with one's own freedom. It is a condition when fighting for others freedom. It is a political statement to be happy, to be alive,” she told Entertainment Online.

She also spoke about aging with Howard Stern on his show. When asked about her thoughts on aging, she had this to say: 

“I’m not going to worry about it. We all want to look the best we can look, but I’ve never really been a big worrier about that,” she admitted.

Anderson proved she could really walk the makeup-free talk when she appeared at various events during Paris Fashion Week in 2023 completely bare-faced. Starting with The Row runway show on Sept. 27, 2023, she dazzled onlookers and fans with her glamorous looks – sans makeup. She shared photos on her Instagram of herself in various outfits with the caption:

“An adventure in Paris with fresh eyes… 🤍 There is beauty in self acceptance, imperfection and love.”

Fans were truly inspired by Anderson’s bold choice to go makeup-free. “QUEEN!!! Thank you being such an amazing woman who encourages ourselves to be real and love us as we are!!!” one comment read, while another user said, “Always been a fan but now I’m a super fan. It’s crazy that what you’re doing would be considered revolutionary, but that’s where we are. 🔥❤️”

Among those hailing Anderson was none other than fellow actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who reposted photos of the star alongside the caption:

“THE NATURAL BEAUTY REVOLUTION HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN! @pamelaanderson in the middle of fashion week with so many pressures and postures, and and and, this woman showed up and claimed her seat at the table with nothing on her face. I am so impressed and floored by this act of courage and rebellion.”

Fans also praised the blonde beauty, with one user commenting, “pamela anderson attending paris fashion week shows and events makeup free is my motto.” Another remarked, “I think Pamela Anderson looks great. We just aren’t used to thin eyebrows anymore! A fuller eyebrow makes a huge difference, but she’s still beautiful regardless.”

“Pamela anderson going makeup free lately i’m obsessed,” a third user exclaimed in a post that included photos of Anderson looking gloriously happy as she smiled at the cameras.

Anderson’s beauty evolution has not gone unnoticed by her enduring fans, as well as many new ones she has made in the process. Her social media posts that showcase her natural beauty have garnered overwhelming attention and praise, not least because of the way Anderson has begun to inspire women to embrace themselves and each other as they truly are.

Such was the case when she took to Instagram to share a sweet photo of herself wearing nothing but a simple white dress with her hair down in curls and no makeup on. The actress radiated warmth, softness and bliss as she sat atop a stool with her knees to her chest with a big smile on her face in the kitchen of her rustic farmhouse in Vancouver Island, Canada, where she lives alone with her five dogs.

“I am most at home — with my animals, on the ocean with a light softness thrown about… reading, writing and dreaming… 🤍✨” she wrote in the caption.

Befittingly, the comments section was filled with kind messages for Anderson, with some calling her “perfection,” an “inspiration” and “a vibe.”

“You’re in your natural beauty era and never looked better. 😍” one user wrote while another said, “Your softness and ease is permission for so many other women to find and allow themselves the same.”

Another fan remarked:

“I am so obsessed with you and this! Learning how to accept and love being by yourself while being able to appreciate all of the small things makes life so much better. You go Pamela! We see you.”

Yet another besotted fan commented, “You are such an inspiration to women showing that you can reinvent yourself at any age. You just have to want it. Thank you 🙏”
