There’s something so refreshing about a makeup-free moment. Even more so when the person going makeup-free is a celeb that we’re used to seeing all glammed up and red carpet ready.

And whether it’s the fact that we’re all taking a more relaxed approach to beauty (minimalist makeup is on the rise after all) or the fact everyone has been spending so much time at home, we’re finally getting a glimpse at the natural, authentic side of some of the world’s rich and famous.

Here are some of our favourite makeup-free celebrity selfie moments of 2021 so far… we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year holds.

Lizzo

Popstar Lizzo has always been unabashedly unafraid to celebrate the parts of herself that have made her feel insecure over the years. And recently, the Taurean used her birthday season as an excuse to get Beauty OG’s Dove involved on the self-love: “I wanna give y’all this unedited selfie.. now normally I would fix my belly and smooth my skin but baby I wanted to show u how I do it au natural — I am excited to be partnering with @dove and the #DoveSelfEsteemProject which is helping to reverse the negative effects of social media and changing the conversation about beauty standards. Let’s get real y’all.”

Yara Shahidi

The Grownish star appears to be enjoying the summer sun sans-makeup. The secret to her glowing skin then you ask? SPF obvi!

Megan Thee Stallion

Leave it up to Thee Stallion to get us motivated to look our best even on our days off. The rapper posted this selfie with the caption, “hot girl shit even on my rest day”, and boy is she right.

Rocking a stunning smattering of summertime freckles over her adorable button nose, model Bella Hadid proves all you need to look your best sometimes is a good tan.

Madelaine Petsch

As if the redhead’s stunning mane wasn’t enough of a reason to be jelly, Petsch is also rocking some seriously enviable skin, if we do say so ourselves. Pores who?

Shanina Shaik

The Aussie model looks just as flawless posing for a selfie on her hotel room floor as she does strutting her stuff on the catwalk.

Hailey Bieber

Makeup free and giving us freckle envy, model Hailey Bieber posed for a flawless selfie while on holiday. Question: How does she get her brows to look like that? Asking for a friend.
