After 20 Years On Stage Using Makeup Christina Aguilera Does A Shoot Without It, And We Can’t Recognize Her

ADVERTISEMENT

She’s never been shy about dolling herself up with vivid eyeliner and her trademark deep shades of lipstick, but now Christina Aguilera has joined the make-under trend, and she looks just stunning.

Following on from Demi Lovato’s revealing revealing video for Vogue, Aguilera stripped bare for the cover of Paper Magazine cover. In a series of close-up shots titled Transformation, we discover that she actually has freckles, and beneath the bold, brash persona she usually presents to the world is a softer, younger-looking woman whom many commenters agree, looks even better!

“I’ve always been someone that obviously loves to experiment, loves theatrics, loves to create a story-line and play a character in a video or through a stage,” she said in her interview with Paper. “I’m a performer, that’s who I am by nature. But, I’m at the place, even musically, where it’s a liberating feeling to be able to strip it all back and appreciate who you are and your raw beauty.”

Similar to the reactions after Lovato’s makeunder, some people have expressed skepticism with the ‘bare’ trend. Pointing out that the stars are still wearing some make-up, have undergone cosmetic surgery and have the luxury of a team of beauty advisers around them, not everybody is convinced that these pampered celebrities going ‘natural’ does anything to inspire or empower other women to do the same. It is just a new standard of barely attainable beauty to aspire to.

I love the natural look, but these AREN'T makeup free.

Or photoshop free. I agree that the "natural" look is still better than all the make-up.

Yes it’s frustrating for people to try to pass it off as all natural just because they’re not wearing stage makeup. Also confusing for younger people when things are photoshopped and passed off as someone all natural. This serves to skew young people’s lens of reality and how humans actually look naturally

I've never met a woman (aside from some Chinese relatives of my husband's) that didn't have any wrinkles around the eyes by 37. Either she's some kind of freak of nature, or photoshop has been at work here. She looks more like 17.

And also not natural. She’s had a good amount of work done on her face.

Looks like celebrities wear make up to protect their privacy, so they could live their lives in peace. I say this because she looks unrecognizable (kind of). Gorgeous, of course, but like a totally different person.

It's war paint. She has a stage persona and the makeup and hair are a part of that. That's her job, not necessarily her life.

LOL! That was my reaction. Super pretty but...who are you?

She had massive plastic surgery over the past years. I can't even recognize her anymore.

I have to disagree. I think celebrities wear makeup because they think it makes them look sexy, pretty or mysterious.
