It often takes an army to get stars ready for the spotlight, especially to keep up with the age of Photoshop and Facetune. As the younger generations grow up on social media, it’s refreshing seeing women celebrate their age by highlighting their natural beauty, with a new emphasis on slow, holistic beauty and skincare. We’ve rounded up a list of six women who exemplify the idea of barefaced, glowing beauty at any age.
Brooke Shields
The Blue Lagoon actor turned 57 this year and according to her sun-kissed selfie on Instagram, she’s living the life. Shields is also booked—she recently announced that she would be hosting her very own podcast on iHeartRadio, and joined comedian Chelsea Handler on the new SKIMS lingerie campaign by Kim Kardashian.
Andie MacDowell
Actor and former fashion model Andie MacDowell, now 64, shared this joyful picture of her at Cannes Film Festival. The Groundhog Day star wrote that she was there for her daughter Margaret Qualley, as she attended the premiere of her film Stars At Noon.
Jennifer Lopez
Singer, actor, and newly-minted Mrs. Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez turned 53 this year but the “Jenny From The Block” singer has no problem sharing no-makeup and no-filter selfies like this one, where she’s all smiles and tucked bare-skinned under a comfortable-looking comforter.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Academy Award-winner and Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow doesn’t play around when it comes to skincare and wellness, and it shows. The 49-year-old mother-of-two shared this fresh-faced photo with her daughter Apple.
Michelle Yeoh
Malaysian actor Michelle Yeoh, who rose to stardom after starring in Hong Kong action movies, has had a lot to celebrate with the recent success of Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, which made waves in Hollywood just like her recent films, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Crazy Rich Asians. The 60-year-old actor shared this candid snapshot of her attending to her skincare at home.
Lee Young-ae
Fans who know her from the historical K-drama Jewel In The Palace, which aired in the early aughts, will find that Lee Young-ae looks almost the same, 20 years later. The 51-year-old actor shared this glowing, glassy-skinned selfie on social media.
