With or Without Makeup: 10 SuperStars Who Still Look Stunning
Beyoncé – Single Ladies
Beyoncé is a singer who rose to fame in the ’90s after she joined the girl group Destiny’s Child. She later found an unprecedented degree of success as a solo artist and is known for songs like “Single Ladies,” If I Were a Boy,” and “Partition.” She has also won several awards.
The stage lights and heavy glam are a part of her life, so she needs a good routine to look flawless even with a bare face. She applies a thick layer of Aquaphor before bed and uses rose oil for healing. Queen Bey is also big on using coconut oil. However, dermatologists warn against its pore-clogging effects.

Adele – Rolling in the Deep
Adele is a vocal powerhouse known for songs like “Rolling in the Deep,” “Hello,” and “Set Fire to the Rain.” She has been through quite a transformation over the years, but no matter what she weighed, she still managed to look beautiful with a bare face.
According to Adele’s makeup artist, Michael Ashton, he likes to prep her visage with facial oils and balms but recommends a double cleanse and moisturizer first. He uses micellar water, like Bioderma or La Roche-Posay. For facial oils, Decleor and Mara Beauty are staples. Adele also believes in exfoliation when necessary and deep hydration.
Christina Aguilera – Beautiful
Christina Aguilera is a talented artist but also a muse. While she’s often credited as a driving force behind the revival of teen pop in the late ’90s, she’s also known to have influenced the artistic process of other notable musicians. And what greater proof of her iconic status than the first-ever Music Icon award, which she received at the 2021 People’s Choice Awards?
Still, on the topic of influences, Aguilera is one artiste who’s been known to preach a message of acceptance and inclusivity. When she’s off the clock, and the beauty products wiped off, Aguilera retains a softness that only emphasizes her natural beauty. And when the makeup comes back on, it only amplifies what she’d had all along.
Lady Gaga – Poker Face
Lady Gaga is another famous singer who we can’t help but gush over. Since she debuted in the music industry, Lady Gaga has carved a niche. And her impressive following and influence reflect how much she’s achieved over the years. In 2021, she released two albums, including her remix album, “Dawn of Chromatica.”
Owning the makeup brand “Haus Labs” doesn’t stop her from sharing makeup-free selfies. And this all-natural picture from the 2018 movie “A Star is Born” may take you by surprise if you’re not used to seeing her completely barefaced. The movie highlights that she can pull off a fierce look and performance irrespective of cosmetics.
Kelly Clarkson – American Idol
Kelly Clarkson is too down-to-earth for a woman who’s sold 25 million albums worldwide. But her humble and relatable personality is just one of many reasons why she’s so loved by her fans. In 2021, she won two Daytime Emmy Awards for “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”
In a 2020 interview with InStyle, Clarkson revealed that she’s very comfortable in her skin. And what a skin it is! Though we admit she looks absolutely fabulous when she’s glammed up, we have to say that her natural beauty is just as astounding. And her skin looks clear and healthy without a speck of makeup.
Barbra Streisand – The Barbra Streisand Album
Barbara Streisand has been active in the entertainment industry since the early ’60s. And in a classic ‘grass to grace’ twist, she made her breakthrough in the musical comedy, “I Can Get It For You Wholesale.” With over 150 million records sales worldwide, Streisand holds the title of the highest-certified female artist in the U.S, sharing the spot with Mariah Carey.
Confidence is one of the basic requirements to become a heavyweight in any industry. And Streisand has got it in spades. So while makeup remains a staple for special occasions, she’s not afraid to step out with her natural face. In 2021, she was honored at the 31st Kennedy Center Honors Awards ceremony.
