Pamela Anderson Opens Up About Her Decision to Go Makeup-Free: ‘I Feel More Myself Than Ever’

Pamela Anderson is championing her natural beauty!

In an interview with The Sunday Times published on Sunday, Nov. 10, the actress and model, 57, opened up about her decision to go makeup-free recently and how she now feels “more myself than ever.”

Anderson, who is promoting her new vegan cookbook I Love You, recalled when she first showcased herself wearing no makeup at Paris Fashion Week in September 2023, telling the outlet, “There’s these beautiful clothes. I’m wearing Vivienne Westwood. I have this great hat and beautiful coat. Nobody’s going to notice if I don’t wear any makeup.”

“I didn’t realize it was going to start all of this, all these people really relating to me,” she continued. “It’s a great message — we are good enough just the way we are. I have to remind myself of that every day.”

The star further admitted that along with herself, her sons Brandon and Dylan were negatively impacted by her previous public persona. 

“[They] probably don’t feel they have to defend their mom anymore. My public perception has changed and you don’t realize how much that affects your children,” admitted Anderson.

Since following her own commitment to showing her true self in public, Anderson shared her hopes for her two boys to feel the positive effects of this conscious change. 

“I think they feel a lot more comfortable now too, looking at me at this point in my life,” Anderson said. “It has been a journey for all of us, but we’re all in a better place now.”

Anderson’s interview with The Sunday Times comes after she made another makeup-free appearance as she attended a special screening of her upcoming film The Last Showgirl in Los Angeles on Nov. 7.

The actress wore a monochromatic outfit of a white silk button-down blouse and matching wide-legged trousers, accessorized with white pumps and stud earrings, to the event.
