With so much upheaval in the world, makeup was a priority low on many people’s list this year, celebrities included. With more time relegated to the home than ever before, our favorite singers, actresses and socialites gave us more intimate peeks into their personal lives in more ways than one. It explains why barefaced selfies ultimately dominated social media in all of 2020, making celebs feel more relatable than ever, and serving as a comfort of sorts knowing that we’re all in this together. For many of us, this has been a year of relearning and falling in love again—or for the first time—with the skin we’re in.
So, let’s get barefaced. Check out 30+ makeup-less celebrity selfies that we loved this year and that you will, too.
