“You can see if you look closer, she has makeup on, but yes, she is still very beautiful,” another user wrote.

“The thing is, she is wearing minimal makeup and not makeup-free,” noted someone else. “You can see she has a light foundation, thin eyebrow pencil (or coloring), and lip gloss. Filling in those 70’s brows and wearing a little mascara would make all the difference, but it’s just my opinion.”

Meanwhile, others congratulated the 57-year-old actress on her nomination and classy look.

“I’m loving your Renaissance! You are an inspiration to every woman!” wrote one fan.

“Growing old gracefully. More beautiful than ever,” said another.

“You were the main reason I watched the show. I wanted so much for you to win! But you are the winner as far as I’m concerned. I loved you in the film,” a separate fan gushed.

“Thank you for being you! When one of the most glamorous women shuns makeup, it makes us all realize how silly it is to feel obligated to be beautiful,” someone else said, praising the star for going against the norm.

Throughout most of her career, Pamela was known for herstrong smoky eye and lip glosslook.

Speaking withDrew Barrymore on her show last October, the former model explained that her decision to ditch makeup came as a way to reconnect with herself after experiencing an identity crisis and realizing she had been “playing characters” her whole life.

“I wanted to remember who I was. I found I played characters my whole life. I was painfully shy as a kid; even doingPlayboy, for instance, was a huge leap of faith for me. I was physically sick doing it, but I didn’t want to be shy anymore,” she began.

“I just thought, well, ‘This is what my fantasy of what a model is, or a playmate is, or a rock star’s wife is, or what anything is. I’m going to do it the best,’ and I’ve been playing these characters along the way.

“It just hit me a couple of years ago, and I was just shaking my head, going, ‘Who am I?'”

“I just started taking it all back, and then started peeking out without makeup, and then I started realizing, ‘Oh, I feel great as me; I don’t want people to think of me as all those cartoon characters I created for protection.'”

The first time that Pamela attracted attention for herbare-faced lookwas at Paris Fashion Week in 2023.

At the time, she didn’t think people would notice the change, but she continued to send a positive message to society.

The Canadian star said she felt “free” in the makeup-less look. “It’s taken a while. I’ve had my little journey with it. We all are our own worst critics.”
