Although she has admitted to never feeling like a “great beauty,” Anderson has always been at the forefront of beauty and fashion. So one would naturally expect she would want to do anything and everything possible to keep up her look, but for Anderson the exact opposite is true.
“I can’t wait to see myself old. I always said that I would recognize myself when she looked at me in the mirror. I want my hair to be naturally gray, not to wear makeup. I mean, that’s my comfort state,” Pamela said in an interview.
“Many women who were classic beauty icons have struggled with aging. I don’t think it’s difficult for me and I don’t want to fall for it. I don’t want to do all these crazy things to myself,” she said.
Rather than get dolled up for her appearances, Anderson began attending public events without makeup.
“I am much more comfortable in my own skin, but I also am in an industry that really focuses on beauty. And I thought, ‘I’m going to challenge beauty,’” she told Today of her decision to go makeup-free during Paris Fashion Week 2023.
“I think challenging ourselves is what keeps us young and beautiful. And I think, really genuinely, beauty does come from within and you don’t have to play the game.”
When Anderson appeared at this year’s Oscars, she once again broke the norm and went makeup-free.
While we think she looked absolutely stunning, not everyone was in agreement.
“Listen, I commend her courage…but there is a time and place for everything and this just ain’t it .”
“No makeup ok…..but please she needs some microblading….we ain’t in 1990 anymore.”
“This gown looks like she ripped down motel curtains. She doesn’t need to overdo but a little makeup and getting your hair done would have been nice.”
“No effort at all? Just completely given up”
“She looks very old.”
Wow. It’s heartbreaking to see how many people are against women going makeup-free. We think Pamela Anderson looked gorgeous!
