As hard as it might be to believe, iconic actress Sharon Stone actually got her start in Tinseltown as a background extra in Woody Allen’s 1980 classic, Stardust Memories. Once the actress had a taste of being on-camera, she never looked back. However, it wasn’t until the 1990s that Stone become the icon that she remains today, thanks to her performances in films like Basic Instinct and Casino.

According to Stone, she opts not to wear makeup whenever possible, only having the house with moisturizer on. “My mom was an Avon lady, and she gave me a jar of Avon Rich Moisture cream, and she said, ‘Put this on morning and night, and you’ll thank me for the rest of your life,” she told People Magazine. However, a photographer snapped, Stone also likes to head to the salon sans makeup!

Zoe Saldana – 42-Years-Old

Fans are used to actress Zoe Saldana being covered in makeup in franchises like Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers, where she portrays the green Gamora. In fact, the actress said she grew deeper respect for cosmetics after having to sit in the makeup station for three hours every day on Guardians.

However, after having spent hours caked in cosmetics, It’s no wonder Saldana goes without makeup whenever she can. Like many celebrities on this list, Saldana makes sure to take care of her skin and hair, so she can confidently rock the no-makeup look. However, growing up in the Dominican Republic, Saldana needed to find more natural beauty routines. “In the islands, rum isn’t only for drinking. You can actually put rum on your hair…because with the sun, the rum bleaches your hair. That was sort of a natural way of getting highlights.”

Susan Sarandon – 74-Years-Old

Iconic actress Susan Sarandon will do down in history thanks to her many roles in hit films like Rocky Horror Picture Show, Thelma & Louise, and Enchanted. Meanwhile, the actress is one of the few brave celebrities to go without makeup for an entire photoshoot! That’s right. As you can see in the picture below, Sarandon appeared cosmetic-free for a historic shoot with People Magazine.

However, the duchess has actually shown what she really looks like without makeup a handful of times. Most notably, she posted a selfie with zero cosmetics on her now-deleted Instagram account. When you look at her natural “no makeup look” versus actually no makeup, you can barely notice a difference. Want to rock Markle’s no-makeup look?

Gabrielle Union – 47-Years-Old

For some strange reason, a long time ago, someone told celebrities freckles are not cute. So, many, including actress Gabrielle Union, cover them up with a lot of cosmetics. For those not in the know: one of America’s favorite actresses, of Being Mary Jane female, also has the cutest cluster on her face. However, if Union hadn’t posted a makeup-free selfie, we would have never known!

Now, the 47-years-old has been a judge of America’s Got Talent and directed plenty behind the camera, in addition to becoming an international star. These days, Union stars in the new police drama, L.A.’s Finest, which premiered back in 2019.

Cruz has also shown that there is a big heart beneath all the makeup that she usually wears, since she is known for doing philanthropic work in various parts of the world. When working in various parts of the world it is of no surprise that one’s skin tends to take a beating, but Cruz certainly has a few cards to play in order to counteract such obstacles.

Barbara Streisand – 79-Years-Old

Of course, when she became a star in the ’60s and ’70s, singer and actress Barbara Streisand became quite famous for her dramatic cat eye, now quite literally referred to by makeup artists as “the Streisand eye.” However, in more recent years, the star has elected to go without makeup more and more often. The reason? Because she can!

Well, Streisand says that it’s all about balance. “[Good] exercise and diet allow me to keep my energy up,” she explained in a recent interview with the Harvard Business Review. “When I want to decompress, I watch movies and play games on my computer.” It’s hard to imagine one of the world’s greatest singers playing video games – but, hey, it must work!

Shakira – 43-Years-Old

When it comes to her makeup approach, Latina singer Shakira is a true believer that “less is more.” However, it’s not because she’s trying to emulate someone. Rather, it’s because, even on tour, the singer likes to do her own makeup! “I feel like the less makeup I use, the better I look,” the star told InStyle Magazine. Through various no makeup selfies, Shakira continues to prove her theory right!
