The 56-year-old Pamela Anderson has made waves by appearing on the red carpet in her natural state—without her signature makeup. Now, she either steps into the spotlight completely bare-faced or with minimal cosmetics.

There’s talk that she is no longer the woman she once was. However, the model believes that “beauty lies in self-acceptance and embracing one’s imperfections.”

Just recently, this is the kind of makeup Pamela used to wear: This bold move from one of the world’s most famous blondes has garnered praise from fellow stars. Her colleagues from “Baywatch,” Gina Lee Nolin and Cheryl Burke, thanked Pamela for her courage to be herself.

Jamie Lee Curtis described this decision as a “revolution in natural beauty and acceptance of one’s age.” Many celebrities were astonished by this act of bravery and self-assurance. Pamela isn’t afraid to show her wrinkles, uneven skin tone, or age spots.

The model revealed another reason for her makeup-free stance: her longtime makeup artist and friend passed away. Pamela deeply misses her and feels that without her friend, who always made her look beautiful, it’s best not to wear cosmetics anymore.

However, the social media comments about her look are mixed. Some say that with minimal makeup, she appears more natural, softer, and younger. Yet, many believe the model has surrendered and lost the battle against aging, citing that Sophia Loren always wears makeup at 89—now that’s a true diva!
