Keke Palmer
Starting us off is former Disney star, Keke Palmer. The now 27-year-old actress and musician got real with her followers in her posts about her struggle with acne. And we've got mad respect for her authenticity.
Keke took to Instagram to share her message, writing "I’m not afraid to show myself to the world and you shouldn’t be either." Preach, girl! In today's norm of photo editing and filters, we're so here for this actress's commitment to self-love and her natural look.
Bella Hadid
Whether strutting down the runway or rocking a magazine cover, Bella Hadid's got the fashion industry in her back pocket. The 24-year-old model has sported all kinds of looks for all kinds of occasions, but her favorite? A stripped-down look is number 1 in Hadid's books.
In a juicy 2017 interview, the Los Angeles model mogul got real with Vogue, saying, "I love my natural freckles and just keeping a natural look." With a full team of makeup artists at her fingertips, Hadid sure made a powerful statement with that message!
Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Thee Stallion has slayed nearly every hair color and make-up style under the sun during her career, and we've been loving the show. Want to know how to rock the Hot Girl look too? Thee Stallion spilled the tea: It's simply "being confident, living your truth, and, most importantly, living boldly."
Even after a huge deal with makeup giant Revlon, Megan kept it real with fans as she posted a stripped-down look on Instagram. The mirror selfie was captioned "Hot girl sh*t even on my rest day 💙," and fans showed nothing but love for her natural beauty.
Kim Kardashian
Former-reality queen Kim K has had maaaany looks over the years and brought a lot of attention with each new style. The mom of 4 has never shied away from a bold makeover, but also knew how to keep it real when sharing this natural pic with her followers on social media.
The 40-year-old flaunted her authentic beauty with the latest makeup-free post and got loads of love from followers. With over 4 million likes on the picture, it's clear that supporters love the simple look. One thing's for sure: Kim K showed us she can really rock it all!
Taylor Swift
We'd recognize Taylor Swift's hypnotizing blue eyes and signature cat-eye look for a mile away. But the Grammy-winning recording artist sure knew how to switch things up by posting a makeup-free selfie. We're here for this natural look, Taylor, keep it up!
The 31-year-old singer has broken every barrier in her way over the years. Since her first album debuted back in 2006, Taylor climbed the charts nonstop and defied stereotypes by jumping from genre to genre. Her confidence shines in and out of the studio, and we love it!
Sarah Hyland
Modern Family's Sarah Hyland has lived in the hearts of fans since the show's debut back in 2009. Her character, Haley Dunphy, may have been one of the most self-obsessed teens on television, but the 30-year-old actress is far from vain in her real life.
Whether it's getting real about her relationship with her body or laughing at herself over the realities of trying to get married during the lockdown, the star kept it authentic with her followers. Hyland really showed us that life ain't always perfect, but that doesn't mean it ain't beautiful!
Addison Rae
The queen of TikTok has grown so much since her dance videos went viral and catapulted her to A-list status. The talented 20-year-old has also proved to us that nothing is off the table. And with her latest single and upcoming Netflix movie on the way, Addison Rae is now in triple-threat territory.
But that's not all: The social media sensation has extended her empire to makeup as well. But even with the whole Item Beauty collection under her belt, Rae still kept it real with this fresh-faced look. The after-shower selfie was well received by fans, with an impressive 3.9 million likes!
Kourtney Kardashian
If there's one thing Kourtney Kardashian knows about, it's health and all things natural. The eldest Kardashian had a successful launch of her wellness brand, Poosh, and has since built an enormous empire teaching followers how to live their healthiest life. Thanks, Kourt!
But this 42-year-old didn't just keep it organic in the kitchen: Kourtney also rocked a natural look with this recent selfie and we're here for it. The mom of 3 dropped a #nofilter bomb with this pic and fans took to the comments to compliment the former reality star.
Lady Gaga
It's widely known that Lady Gaga has never turned down a bold look. From meat dresses to full-face red lace masks, it seemed like this pop star lived every day for the glam, and fans couldn't get enough of it. But Gaga kept it real with her followers with this latest look.
It's safe to say that Lady Gaga can rock it all: From the bold to the basic. This bare-faced selfie got major love from fans... Over 2.5 million likes to be exact. And comments were filled with supporters complimenting the singer's natural skin in this golden hour shot.
Rihanna
This latest addition could come as a shock to many, since our favorite R&B artist has been busier with her makeup brand and sexy lingerie than in the studio... But no shade here, Ri: Who needs a new album when we've got this gorgeous natural selfie to tie us over?
Rihanna took over the globe with her Fenty brand and Savage lingerie line. The Grammy-winning singer definitely proved her worth in and out of the studio with these successful launches. But even with all the makeup at the tip of her fingers, Riri kept it real with this pic.
Bella Thorne
Hollywood's Bella Thorne has made quite a name for herself over the years. Since her early days as a Disney child actress to her recent role in Chick Fight, we've watched Bella grow up on our screens. The actress's decade-long career has also come with some interesting looks.
Bella's brought us bold hair colors and bolder makeup looks: But the 23-year-old actress isn't afraid to rock it au natural as well. While Thorne poked fun at her relaxed look in the pic, it's safe to say her beauty shone in this beach-side snap. But if you think she's a beauty makeup-free, wait till you see our next superstar.
Jessie J
London-born Jessica Ellen Cornish, who is mostly known by her stage name, Jessie J, has had quite the career since releasing her debut album in 2011. Over the past decade, we've watched Jessie on stage and blasted her tracks on repeat. Now it's time we looked at the face behind the music.
Jessie J dropped this glowing selfie for followers, and we think you might agree: Her natural look is where it's at. The caption listed the hilarious activities the singer got up to that day: Including giving herself a facial and blasting Christmas music around the house. Sounds like a good day to us!
Chrissy Teigen
Famous model turned professional Twitter roaster, Chrissy Teigen has gained a huge following on social media platforms, as fans have come to love her hilarious down-to-earth takes on motherhood and marriage, in addition to delicious recipes. Clearly, she's just as beautiful as she is funny!
While the media mogul got her start way back in the day on Deal or No Deal, she eventually climbed to the top of the modeling world and dominated in television as well. For the wife of John Legend and mother of 2, life may be a little less fab these days, but Chrissy kept it glowing with this natural Insta pic.
Charli D'Amelio
TikTok royalty, Charli D'Amelio has made some serious career moves since her early days making viral clips on social media. The now 17-year-old star has surpassed every obstacle in her path and has dominated the industry with brand deals including Dunkin' Donuts and Pura Vida.
With over 41 million followers on Instagram and a casual 114 million on TikTok, the pressure was on for the viral star to put her best face forward: And Charli did just that: This pic proved that the best makeup a girl can have is some good ol' sunshine and a smile, of course.
Anastasia Karanikolaou
Insta baddie and BBF to Kylie Jenner, Anastasia Karanikolaou, better known as Stassie, has lived a life of fame and fashion. With her bestie at her side, the pair have vacationed and partied together, usually in matching outfits. And even with over 10 million followers to impress, Stassie wasn't afraid to go natural on the 'gram.
The bare-faced bombshell has always made an effort to keep it real with fans, being honest about her history of cosmetic procedures. The LA Instagrammer said it best: "I wanted to show people that there’s nothing to be ashamed of." And we couldn't agree more: Stassie is rockin' her look with confidence.
Kylie Jenner
This one really shocked us you guys: With an entire makeup empire under her name, who would think we'd ever catch Kylie without a full face on? The Instagram queen surprised us with this natural shot: And all we can say is 'wow.' Keep these pics coming, Kylie! We love it.
The picture was simply captioned "skin," and pulled in a whopping 6.5 million likes on Instagram. Casual... But fame was nothing new for this celeb: With nearly 230 million followers, Marie Claire ranked her in the top 10 most-followed accounts in the world. Even with all that pressure, Stormi's mama is still keeping it real.
James Charles
It was certainly a bold move for this makeup guru to serve a bare-faced look, but it definitely paid off, as fans showed major love for James Charles in this au naturel shot. The Youtube celeb pulled in over 1.8 million likes, and while James called attention to his outfit in the caption, we couldn't get over the face!
Charles has turned makeup tutorials into a media empire, including past deals with Morphe and video appearances with tons of celebs like Lil Nas X, Kylie Jenner and the D'Amelio sisters. But even with 27 million followers on Insta, this makeup artist wasn't afraid to keep it natural.
Ashley Tisdale
Former Disney sweetheart, Ashley Tisdale, has lived a life in front of the camera for as long as we can remember. Between TV successes like The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and the High School Musical franchise, the actress and singer has graced our screens with a variety of roles.
The transition to new mom may have limited the time for glam, but that didn't phase the now 35-year-old actress. Tisdale took to Instagram to share this bare-faced pic with her followers, and it couldn't have been received better. Thanks for keeping it real with us, Ashley!
Jordyn Woods
This LA native has spent her life around Hollywood's best and biggest stars. As close family friends of the Smiths and former BFF to Kylie Jenner, Jordyn Woods has made a name for herself as one of Instagram's hippest figures, with a sneaker and purse collection to match.
Now boo'd up with Minnesota Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns, Jordyn has grown used to life in front of the camera as an NBA bae. Good news is, the constant press doesn't appear to have changed the 23-year-old. She still rocked her fresh bare face with this cute selfie. Nothing wrong with a little self-love!
Billie Eilish
While Billie Eilish has been known for her bold hair colors, the Grammy-winning singer also knew how to keep it simple with the face, and trust us: It's worked for her. This pic uploaded to the artist's Instagram showcased her natural beauty, and fans showed the love. And, can you blame 'em?
This Billboard Top 100 recording artist racked in over 13 million likes with the post, and we don't think it's just for the view! Clearly the singer's authentic beauty shone in the post, and we're happy to see another famous face opting for the untouched look. Just like this next beauty...
Sofia Richie
With a face like that, we're not surprised Sofia Richie chose to flex on the 'gram with this makeup-less shot. Like, come on you guys... It's not even fair at this point! This LA celeb's pic proved that less is more and followers showed major love for this simple yet gorgeous look.
The daughter of music legend, Lionel Richie, Sofia grew up in the world of celebrities from an early age. But even surrounded by LA's biggest names and craziest makeup trends, Sofia preferred to keep it natural with this authentic photo. And let's be real: It's working for her!
Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus has certainly changed over the years. From Hannah Montana to a mature recording artist, we've seen Miley's style develop from Disney princess to an inked-up bombshell. Despite all the art on her skin, the Plastic Heart's singer decided to keep her look simple and of course, she looked beautiful.
But this picture didn't come as a shock for most long-term Miley fans: In the music video for her 2017 song, Malibu, Cyrus also rocked a simple look. She's no stranger to forging her own path and going against the crowd, and it's great to see this singer embracing inner beauty!
Hailey Bieber
Born into fame, and further marrying into it later on, Hailey has spent her entire life in front of the cameras. And while one may think that would mean always looking glammed up. This beauty looks just as showstopping without any makeup at all. Seriously, just look at her.
Between posts like this and Instagram stories, Kendall Jenner's BFF continued to make waves on social media as she showed her raw, unfiltered face to the world. But Hailey knows makeup isn't the end-all and be-all of beauty: With a killer skincare routine, she learned that the natural look is where it's at!
Kendall Jenner
From early on in her modeling career, Kendall Jenner learned to keep it real with her fans. In an interview with Vogue, the runway superstar confessed her relationship with her natural skin wasn't always positive, but she came to peace with it: "What can I say, I’m human," she commented.
From the days of her deal with Proactiv, the second youngest Jenner came a long way in her journey of self-love. These days, this celeb knows beauty comes from within: Her bare-faced pic proved to fans she didn't need makeup to get the likes: And she got 5.5 million to show for it!
Selena Gomez
From her health to beauty, former Disney princess Selena Gomez has gained a down-to-earth reputation with her followers. The actress and singer turned to the makeup industry to shake up the unrealistic beauty standards she ran into over the years. Lemons to lemonade, right?
And sticking with the mission of her brand, Rare Beauty, Selena dropped this natural pic and proved she was comfortable in her own skin. Even with a cosmetic brand under her name, the pop star remained committed to being authentic: "Now, more than ever, I feel confident in who I am," she shared recently on Instagram.
Debby Ryan
Debby Ryan has played it all: From humble nanny to vengeful beauty queen, the former Disney star has grown up right before our very eyes and on our screens. And with over 16 million followers on Instagram, the actress has learned a thing or two about the dark side of the app.
"Social media can be really dangerous in terms of furthering comparison to others or dated beauty standards," she shared with People. But the star added it can also be a great "catalyst for inclusivity." We couldn't agree more, and loved seeing the Insatiable star's au naturel selfie!
Millie Bobby Brown
Despite the pressures of being a young celebrity, 17-year-old Millie Bobby Brown committed to self-acceptance: She shared with fans that even with the occasional pimple, "if you are happy in your own skin and if you truly love yourself then you'll love other people, and you will be kind to other people." Truth!
The Stranger Things star participated in her cast member's hashtag initiative #EmbraceYourFace, which aimed at encouraging self-love. And Millie certainly did just that with this bare-faced selfie: We barely noticed the incredible ocean view with the actress's natural beauty front and center.
Emma Roberts
New mom Emma Roberts sure blessed our feeds with this natural look on a recent trip to the slopes. The Holidate star kept it real with fans and honestly made us a little hungry too... With over 600,000 likes on the picture, looks like Instagram agreed with us: basic beauty is where it's at!
Like the smirk in this photo, Emma Roberts didn't take herself too seriously when speaking with Byrdie. The star shared, "I want to be healthy, and I want to do a good job, but I never put pressure on myself because there are so many more important things like sleep." Preach girl!
Demi Lovato
We've seen some major transformations from former Disney star, Demi Lovato. The singer was all about owning her authentic look when she dropped this selfie. From body acceptance to mental health, Demi's personal growth has been an inspiration to fans of all ages.
From Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil to candid interviews, she's kept it real. And throughout all the ups and downs Demi had some wisdom to give: "The more confidence you have within yourself, the more you can bring out in others. It's more about the way you feel over the way you look," she shared with Vogue.
Zoey Deutch
Netflix TV and movie star, Zoey Deutch, has landed some pretty impressive roles during her career. But even The Politician star was stuck at home just like the rest of us this past year. And what better way to pass the time than with a fresh-face mirror selfie? We were certainly guilty of it ourselves!
The actress ironically captioned, "i call this performance art piece: 'a quarantine'. enjoy." And we sure did! Even with the at-home look, fans commented on Zoey's natural beauty. So take it from Deutch you guys, makeup-free pics are where it's at! You're beautiful just the way you are.
Yara Shahidi
Our favorite Black-ish and Grown-ish star maybe be all glammed up on screen, but off-screen? She's a bare-faced beauty! Yara Shahidi proved to us all that isn't afraid to go makeup-free on the 'gram for her 6.3 million followers. And boy, does she own it!
Yara's not just about those perfect pics, though. She's given us the lowdown on her skincare routine (spoiler alert: it's affordable!) and even shared clips of herself bleaching peach fuzz. Talk about keeping it real! Yara's big lesson for us? Confidence is your best accessory, whether you're full-on glam or rocking the natural look!
Zendaya
Yet another reason why Zendaya is the reigning queen of cool! In a world where celebs are often dolled up to the nines, our girl Z struts a different runway. From swinging through skyscrapers in Spiderman to serving high school drama in Euphoria, she never fails to look stunning.
Zendaya has shown us time and again that she can slay the red carpet with or without a full face of makeup. And guess what? Her 3.5 million Instagram likes say her fans are totally here for it. Her secret to those fire selfies? Good lighting, luscious lips, and hair that's on point. Who needs a glam squad when you've got that?
Camila Cabello

Remember when Doja Cat had us all moo-ving to her hit song Mooo! back in 2015? Ah, good times. But did you know our Grammy-winning queen has a love-hate relationship with social media? Yep, it's true! In a chat with Fader Magazine, the Say So singer confessed had something to say about it.
"Honestly, sometimes social media is draining and brings out all the negative things going on." We hear you, Doja!

Moving on to the absolute icon that is Indya Moore. Whether they're on the set of Pose or strutting down a red carpet, they've got this magical ability to own every look. But owning their unique beauty? Well, that's been a journey, and it hasn't been easy.
Indya once confessed to The Cut, "I don't always feel seen," but thanks to Pose, they've found a spotlight and a whole lotta love. And now? They're a shining beacon of self-love, inspiring millions with their unapologetic approach to being themselves.
Gigi Hadid
Of course, this list wouldn't be complete without a few words about the Hadid fam. If you haven't been living in Narnia, you've definitely seen Gigi Hadid killing it on runways and photoshoots. And who does she credit for her less-is-more makeup mantra? Mama Hadid, of course!
In a chat with Harper's Bazaar, Gigi spilled, "[My mom] didn't overdo it with product, and I feel like I've taken that on, where I think less is more." Talk about passing down beauty wisdom! And guess what? She plans to pass this 'keep it simple' philosophy to her little one, Khai. How sweet is that?
Lana Condor
Alright, let's chat about Lana Condor, our fave To All The Boys star! She's on a mission to inspire us all with her self-confidence, just like her own teen role models did. In her words during a BAZAAR.com interview, "The women that I loved the most were the ones that were so unapologetically themselves and just radiated love."
Sure, she's had her moments of self-doubt, comparing herself to others. But Lana's decided to kick those negative thoughts to the curb and embrace self-love. Her mantra? "The way that I talk to myself needs to be the way that I would talk to my best friend." Now, that's some wisdom we could all use.
Joey King
Remember our girl-next-door, Joey King? Yeah, she's been having quite a time since shooting to fame on Netflix. She spilled the beans to Flaunt, revealing, "I started to see the downside of people having so much information about you or to your personality or personal information." Talk about a reality check!
But here's the cool part - Joey's taking her Insta game to the next level with some raw, makeup-free selfies. But why, you ask? Well, in her words, "I have to remind myself more now of reasons to be confident than I used to". Looks like it's not just about the glitz and glamour - it's about realness, authenticity and self-love too!

Madelyn is all about using her Insta platform to get real. We're talking raising awareness about issues close to her heart and joining the 'Gram revolution for self-love and inner beauty. So, here's to Madelyn, keeping it 100 and making a difference while she's at it. Who said you can't have your cake and eat it too?
Olivia Rodrigo
From navigating high school hallways to bagging MTV VMAs, Olivia Rodrigo's teenage journey has been anything but ordinary. But guess what? She wouldn't trade it for anything else. The good 4 u singer has been open about her struggles with self-love, turning her insecurities into chart-topping hits.
She told the Zach Sang Show, "I write songs about not feeling like I'm enough and feeling insecure and sad - it's just sort of ironic how me doing that makes me feel so happy and so powerful." With a whopping 17.7 million followers, she's owning her natural beauty and embracing her worth.
Dua Lipa
Guess what? Even pop sensation Dua Lipa, the lady behind that earworm Levitating, battles with self-confidence. Shocking, right? She spilled the beans to Capital FM in July 2021, and it was all kinds of relatable. "When I look in the mirror," she admitted, "I see the person that I am learning to love every day a little bit more."
It's refreshing to see that even amidst Grammy wins and flashy magazine covers, Dua is just like us - learning to love herself a smidge more each day. And you know what else she sees in the mirror? "A lot more confidence and strength - and someone who's really learning to understand themselves and growing."
Emma Chamberlain
From her hilarious vlogs to her raw Instagram posts, YouTube Queen Emma Chamberlain has won the hearts of millions. But it ain't just about the laughs, people! Here's the tea - Emma's been using her platform to spread some serious self-love vibes.
Remember those dark circles she used to be insecure about? Well, guess what? She's embracing them now! In a chat with Elle Magazine, she said, "I actually have grown to love my dark circles... I think style is getting a little bit more grungy, a little bit more natural." And defying beauty standards? Emma's all for it.
Lili Reinhart
Our girl Lili Reinhart isn't just a star on screen, she's rocking it on Instagram too. And for all the right reasons! Lili's Insta isn't just about pretty pics and Betty Cooper BTS. She's on a mission to spread good vibes, acceptance, and mental health awareness. Talk about an influencer!
But don't think it's all sunshine and rainbows for her. Lili's battled with acne and it's been tough. "It makes me want to hide," she spilled her heart out to Glamour. But guess what? She's learned that it's okay not to be perfect. "Sometimes I feel like I look like s**t... And I'm allowed to have those days," she declares. Truth!

Camila Mendes
Despite living her dream as an actress, Camila Mendes is the first to admit that fame isn't always as peachy as it seems. And guess what? Our favorite "girl next door" is not afraid to get real about her battles with body positivity and self-confidence.
In a heart-to-heart with Pop Sugar, she dropped some truth bombs. "For me, it's always nice when I'm acknowledging that... I'm feeling insecure about myself," she admitted. "I don't think you should pretend everything's OK... when you're not feeling 100 percent." Keepin' it real, Camila style!
Emilia Clarke
For years, our beloved Mother of Dragons from Game of Thrones has lit up our social media feeds with bold, makeup-free selfies. Grinning ear to ear, she held up a mug reading, "You're doing f***ing great," in the throwback snap shared with her 27 million followers.
"Mum got me a mug. I felt it was important to share this newfound wisdom. Use it and reap the rewards," she cheekily captioned. Of course, anyone who remembers when the actress posted this selfie knows the backlash she got from internet trolls for it. Haters will hate, but queens like Emilia always rise above.
Shakira
Who needs makeup when you've got Shakira's natural glow? Six years ago, the Hips Don't Lie singer lit up Instagram with a radiant, makeup-free selfie to celebrate her birthday. Dressed casually in a grey shirt and sporting a relaxed bun, we couldn't help but feel Shakira's joy through the camera on her special day.
Honestly? Her warm, bright smile outshone any layer of makeup she could have worn. The caption on the post read, "Birthday bun / Una ducha y a celebrar mi cumple! Shak" No matter where she is or what she's wearing, the bilingual queen always manages to bring her unique blend of charm and authenticity to the table.
Emma Watson
Emma Watson, always our Hermione and forever a champion for women, rocked the 'gram with this fierce, makeup-free selfie six years ago. Posing fiercely with a toothy grin, she's holding up Women Who Run With the Wolves, a book that screams girl power. No makeup? No problem! Her natural beauty shines as bright as her intellect.
Her message to all of us? Be bold, be brave, be you - makeup or not! The caption under the post read, "@oursharedshelf's March & April book is #WomenWhoRunWiththeWolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes." As always, Emma reminds us that beauty is about being yourself, embracing your wild side, and never forgetting the power of a good book.
Sofia Vergara
Sofia Vergara, the queen of sass and glamour, gave us a peek into her less glammed-up life with this no-makeup selfie six years ago. Lying in bed with a 102-degree fever (yikes!), she's got bright red cheeks that she jokingly calls "the perfect shades of pink." Leave it to Sofia to find the silver lining in being sick!
Her caption is pure gold: "I need this color @covergirl" - a playful nod to her makeup endorsement. And her hashtag confession #Imawimp and #thatswhatIgetforshootingintheraininRome shows us that even celebs have 'oops' moments. Sofia proves you can still look fabulous, even when feeling under the weather.
Anne Hathaway
Remember when Anne Hathaway broke the internet with her hilarious no-makeup moment? Exactly seven years ago, she posted an Instagram photo that had us all saying, "Wait, what?" Instead of a red carpet-ready look, we got a wet hair-do wrapped in...pantyhose? And a facial expression that screamed, "Yeah, I know, right?"
But the best part? Her caption read, "I've got something like diaper rash on my chin and pantyhose on my head #glamour #werk." Looks like even Oscar-winning superstars have their off days. So next time you're having a bad hair day, just remember: Anne Hathaway has been there, done that, and rocked it!
Lily Collins
Ready for some serious skin goals? Next on our 'No-Makeup Celebs' list is the stunning Lily Collins. A few years ago, she graced our Instagram feeds with a selfie captioned "Fresh skin, makeup free. Let the evening begin..." and there's only one word we can think of to describe it: flawless!
With a confident sparkle in her eyes and natural highlights popping against her flawless skin, she's totally owning the no-makeup game. It's clear that Lily needs no help from cosmetics to rock a gorgeous look. Bare is definitely beautiful, and Lily Collins is here to prove it!
Beyoncé
We're used to her firing up the stage or gracing the red carpet in sparkly outfits, but Queen B also drops some bombshell selfies on Instagram from time to time. And guess what? In some of them, she's all au naturel. No makeup, just her radiant smile lighting up the screen.
Her golden locks are cascading freely, framing her face beautifully. With her chin rested in her hand, she's playfully biting her lip as if teasing us with a secret. The caption? A casual "Hello Boston," making it feel like a personal shout-out. If you ask us, this photo screams 'effortlessly chic' and 'unapologetically real.'
Nina Dobrev
Next up - another dose of realness, straight from the 'Gram! Nina Dobrev, our favorite vampire-turned-human, once posted a selfie that is all sorts of relatable. The Vampire Diaries star gave us major #RoadTripVibes with her adorably messy beach waves - talk about an effortless hairstyle win!
In the photo, Nina looks a bit freaked out, biting her lip in a way that says, "Am I really about to post this?" The caption? "#iWokeUpLikeThis Road trip hair … #nofilter #iNeed30Filters #dreadlocksforming #Gypsy5OnARide." But no need for any filters - the way we see it, she totally rocked this no-makeup look!
Katy Perry
Bare-faced beauty alert! Pop princess Katy Perry traded in her microphone for mango trees and proving that less really can be more.

Leighton Meester
Leighton Meester once made it clear she's swapping out the Upper East Side glam for a fresh-faced look in her latest Instagram selfie. Our favorite Gossip Girl star took to Instagram to give us major natural vibes with her radiant, makeup-free smile.
And can we talk about that antique phone? Leighton's proving she's all about that old-school charm, even when it comes to tech. The caption? "Phoners on my real phone." Leave it to Queen B to keep teaching us life lessons about beauty and fashion - both on-screen and off.
Miranda Kerr
We're officially spellbound, because Miranda Kerr brought the magic to the 'gram with a makeup-free selfie! Our favorite Aussie supermodel stepped into the sunshine and shared her natural glow with the world. Now that's what we call model behavior!
She's ditched the runway glam for a barefaced look, proving that sometimes, less really is more. The caption? "Magical day." And we can't help but agree – there's definitely something enchanting about a confident, radiant smile. In some cases, sunscreen is your best friend and makeup can take a backseat.
Lucy Hale
Seven years ago, the fabulous Lucy Hale served up a dose of reality with her post-workout, no makeup selfie on Twitter. She stared confidently into the camera, embracing her natural beauty. The actress looked gorgeous, but we have to admit, our favorite thing about the post was the caption.
"My under eye bags are Chanel. Morning vibez," the Pretty Little Liars star wrote above the photo. Talk about redefining glam! Lucy makes it seem like confidence really is the best accessory you can wear sometimes. After all, who wouldn't want to join the Chanel under-eye bag club, right?
Nicole Scherzinger
Hold up, can we get a rewind? Because when did Nicole Scherzinger and Chloe Flower serve us this major moment in an all-natural look on Instagram?! Nicole, fresh from a swim, rocking the wet and wild hair look like she's on the cover of a summer beach novel.
And we're not forgetting Chloe Flower in the background with her usual cool-girl charm. The cherry on top? That sass-filled caption - "#byefelicia". Now, that's a masterclass in how to exit the scene with style! Besties who slay together, stay together, amirite?
Elsa Hosk
Okay, let's get real. We all have that one piece of clothing we'd live in if society didn't frown upon it (looking at you, favorite sweatpants). But when Victoria's Secret model Elsa Hosk declares her undying love for a comfy pink sweater, it's not just cute - it's a fashion statement!
In an Instagram post, Elsa swapped her runway-ready lace for a snug-as-a-bug pink sweater from @dertbagus. Her caption? "Im going to live in this sweater," followed by pink flower emojis. And honestly, who can blame her? We'll keep this photo in mind next time we're feeling guilty about our 3-day love affair with our hoodies.
Lily Aldridge
Chasing the glow? Well, the secret's out, and it's surprisingly simple - go natural! Lily Aldridge is yet another renowned Victoria's Secret angel on this list who is here to school us all on the art of the no-makeup selfie. And, well, have a look for yourselves…
In an Instagram post that radiates beauty and confidence, Lily showed off her glowing skin, proving that sometimes, less really is more. No foundation, no concealer, just pure, unfiltered Lily. And boy, does she look stunning or what? Who else sort of wants to see this models-with-no-makeup thing become a trend?
America Ferrera
Before she was living the 'pink dream' in the new Barbie movie, it seems like America Ferrera was all about the orange! serving us some serious #NaturalGlow goals. Donning an orange outfit with a straw hat, our girl posted a makeup-free photo in the sun.
Seriously, the picture could easily be a cover for Flawless Magazine. In the photo, her radiant skin seems to outshine the sun itself. The caption "she’s ready" with a sun emoji shows that Ferrera isn't just ready to soak up some vitamin D, but also to embrace her natural beauty. We love to see it!
Olivia Wilde
Remember when Olivia Wilde shared a hilarious selfie, sans makeup, with an expression that screams "send help!" as she geared up for a grueling 13-hour travel day with her toddler? We could never forget it. As hilarious as the Instagram post was, for parents who understand the struggle, it was also way too relatable.
Her caption? A stroke of comedic genius. "Mentally preparing for 13 hour travel day with toddler. My suitcase is mostly full of bribes. #packingiswhathappensinhell #dontletmedownElmo." Parenting, amirite? Clearly, Elmo has been promoted to chief negotiator in the Wilde household. And we've got to say, her hashtag game is on point!
