There’s something refreshing about seeing famous faces without all the glam and makeup. These seven stars, ranging from their late teens to late sixties, remind us that natural beauty is worth celebrating. They stepped out confidently for PEOPLE with just moisturizer on their skin—and the results are inspiring.
1. Susan Sarandon, 69
Susan Sarandon is a classic example of aging gracefully. She admits she used to be pretty hard on herself when she was younger. “Honestly, looking back, I don’t know what I was complaining about,” she says with a smile. Her beauty secret? Moisturizer—she swears by L’Oréal face oil and a good night cream. And she’s totally open about having a tiny procedure under her eyes years ago. For Susan, it’s all about doing what feels right for you.
2. Priyanka Chopra, 33
Priyanka’s makeup story is pretty relatable—she wasn’t allowed to wear any until she was 15, so she had to sneak it. “I’d steal my mom’s makeup, and my parents thought I just had naturally rosy cheeks,” she laughs. She’s learned that good brows and healthy skin do more than any foundation ever could. Going makeup-free for the camera was a bit scary for her since she usually only goes bare-faced in her private selfies.
3. Zendaya, 19
Zendaya has this amazing confidence about her. She’s come to embrace the little things she once thought were flaws, like her crooked tooth. “I’m really happy with who I am and my face,” she says. Plus, she’s proud of being tall—she jokes that at 5’10” she feels strong and a little regal. It’s refreshing to see someone so young so comfortable in their own skin.
4. Melissa George, 39
Living in Paris definitely influences Melissa George’s approach to beauty. She says the city is all about being effortlessly chic and that if you wear too much makeup, people might wonder what you’re trying to cover up. As a mom, she says she feels her best when she’s balanced between work and family life. And here’s a quirky tidbit—her perfectly shaped lips come from thumb-sucking as a kid!
5. Sarah Silverman, 45
Sarah Silverman has a simple, joyful skincare routine: clean, rinse, moisturize. She embraces her strong eyebrows and jokes about looking like a “handsome woman” as she gets older—and she’s totally okay with that. She also has a funny obsession with watching videos of blackhead extractions on YouTube, which shows she’s just as quirky as she is talented.
