We know that Gwyneth Paltrow can slay a red carpet – but the 50-year-old Goop founder appears to be just as confident giving her glam squad the night off and going completely makeup free too! Well, if we look that good sans makeup, we probably would feel the same! We’ve been obsessed with Paltrow’s love of no makeup for years, and the very latest makeup-free image she shared with her fans was no exception!

Gwyneth Paltrow Posts Latest Makeup-Free Selfie On Instagram
On March 1st, Paltrow shared a gorgeous selfie with her 8.2M Instagram followers. She can be seen posing for the camera with her blonde hair tied back – and she isn’t wearing a single drop of makeup.
She captioned the post, which was in aid of promoting her first live show on Flip: “Almost time for my first live show (wish me luck) on Flip—a rad new app that offers a premium shopping experience for beauty. Join me at 2PM PST.” However, as expected, it was her “gorgeous skin” and flawless, glowing complexion which garnered the most attention in the comments section!
Fans Rave About Gwyneth Paltrow’s Ageless Appearance In The Comments
“Looking sweet and gorgeous,” one fan gushed, followed by the fire emoji and the red heart emoji. “Forever young…” commented another, followed by the red heart emoji, hand praising emoji, and fire emoji, all of which we think are very apt!
“I have always thought you were just so beautiful, classy, lovely, and elegant,” praised another fan. “How are you still so beautiful?” asked another, followed by the red heart emoji, while another wanted answers, asking: “Have you had anything like Botox? Your skin looks so good and you only use organic cosmetics?”
Throwback To Gwyneth Paltrow's Makeup-Free Dinner Party
The Oscar-winning actress is so fond of going barefaced that she even threw a makeup-free dinner party back in February, 2020 – and we are *still* in awe of the pictures of her and her A-list guests, who included Demi Moore, Rachel Zoe, and Kate Hudson, who were more than happy to oblige and go along with the no makeup theme! (Again, it probably has something to do with their flawless and age-defying skin!)
According to the Goop website, the Iron Man 3 star's invite called for: "No concealer. No mascara. No blush. Just you, in all your natural glory." This might freak a lot of people out, but they all took it in their stride and even posted pictures on social media! Wow!

As well as giving A-listers a chance to catch up, the party also coincided with the release of some of the Sliding Doors actress's latest Goop products, which included the new vitamin C and hyaluronic acid serum and the marshmallow-textured Microderm face scrub, which her guests got the opportunity to sample. Her guests even got the chance to try out some of Paltrow's personal favorites from the GoopGlow collection prior to the dinner party (perhaps those products are partly to thank for their glowing complexions!) including the once-a-week overnight peel, luminizing body lotion, and the healthy skin drink.

The Thanks For Sharing actress seemingly loves going bare faced when she's promoting something, as she stripped off her makeup again to pose with Dr Will Cole's Intuitive Fasting book, which she said is a "clear, but flexible, four-week plan" which "combines intuitive eating with intermittent fasting and Ketotarian foods. It's designed to optimize our well-being and set us up to feel our best for all the other weeks to come."
