Pamela Anderson, 57, Goes Makeup-Free On The Cover Of ‘Glamour’ And Talks About Chasing Youth: ‘You’re Going To Hit A Crossroad’

Pamela Anderson Opens Up About Her Makeup-Free Philosophy And Poses For Stunning New 'Glamour' Shots

Regarding her minimal beauty routine, Anderson told Glamour: “I’ve nothing against makeup, but I felt like it just looked better on me in my 20s than it did now."

The Playboy alum continued: “You’re going to hit a crossroads in your 50s, and you go, Am I going to chase youth? Am I going to be miserable? Or am I going to be self-accepting? And it’s a practice. And it’s hard to say that you’re attempting all this if you’re still doing the red carpets and the covers of magazines plastered in makeup.”  

Anderson went on to say that she decided to adopt a more natural appearance after years of embodying her Hollywood sex symbol persona and "character."

She unveiled a more fresh look, causing a sensation online, during Paris Fashion Week in September 2023. Ever since, she's been making headlines and stepping out with minimal, soft glam looks and showcasing her unedited beauty.  

In a video for Vogue France at the time, Anderson memorably said: "I don't know, something just kind of came over me and I was dressing in these beautiful clothes and I thought, 'I don't want to compete with the clothes.'" She went on:. "I'm not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room. I feel like it's just freedom. It's a release."

  The Last Showgirl star continued: "I don't need a stylist. I don't have a stylist," she added. "I don't have a glam team. I'm just kind of doing this, freestyle." In the months since, fans have praised Anderson for her "refreshing" honesty and for "being real."
