I don't think Pamela was trying to be a hero to anyone . She decided to go make up free as a homage to her late make up artist and friend. But the fact that we live in a world where not wearing make up is considered heroic is extremely disturbing.
I think the most important thing about Ms. Anderson not wearing a lot of makeup is the message our young people will get from it. That is, makeup is a choice, not a requirement.
I don't think young people are going to get much of a message from this. She'll get more credit from having been treated like crap in the past (like Britney being hounded about her virginity) and still be standing as we look at our own behavior back then with fresh eyes. At best, if they even notice, they'll applaud her for doing it, having in the back of their mind that she's still rich and famous and has a nice place to live so it's okay. She's still got those accessories. What they probably won't do is give their own peers much credit for going without makeup.
38 years-old French woman here, so I grew up during this 'Pamela-baywatch-sex-symbol era'. I understand given Pamela's background, why this is a bold choice for her. However, to me, going make-up free does not make us heroes or activists. I think the bigger subject would be, why, in 2024, society still constantly tries to define women based SOLELY on their appearance. To me, that's the real trap we should be wary of. (Being solely defined and judging each other based on our appearance)
I'm dutch and I wholeheartedly agree.. I find this americanisation through social media extremely toxic. Most of these trends and ideas come from the states. We were better off being more disconnected from them...
I’m 57 and not giving up makeup. I just enjoy it. It’s fun. But I can see where in her life she’s just over it. I haven’t spent my life being followed around and always expected to look perfect. As for you not giving up doing your brows, let me tell you, one of my dearest friends still does hers at 82! It’s the only thing she still does makeup wise and refuses to give it up too.
I saw an influencer talking about how her doctor said to put Rogaine on her eyebrows with a q-tip, and she showed the difference. She got her brows back from the pre-2000s. It can be done.
74 here, I have virtually no eyebrows, I will NEVER give up doing my eyebrows. I also wear eyeliner everyday, and when I leave the house I have foundation on and eyeshadow. I enjoy putting it all on. I look like me when I’m done. I’m still authentically me. I look like I take care of myself, it’s for me. I so appreciate all of what you said. ❤
We don't have to compare and compete. I came from a.family of women that tore eachother down , betrayed eachother , etc . The deepest healing that is ongoing for me is making peace , power and joy with other women. Also , I like Ms. Anderson's choice .
Physical appearance and how it shapes a woman's life is actually a very important issue. We're picked apart by men, and each other the minute we turn 13. So I'd say that going makeup free at 56 (at a public event no less) is a courageous and radical act. But I still recognise where those other women are coming from. Being an aging peasant lady is always gonna be harder.
There's always going to be haters. I personally think her going make up free was fantastic and inspiring. It shows a lot of confidence, regardless of whether she has had work done. Society is so ageist and is especially critical of how older women look and often women feel more confident with life experience NOT less! Hope this will inspire other women to be more at ease with who they are and how they want to show up. It made me like her for being so different from the other wealthy celebrities.
Pam was a stunningly pretty girl when she was discovered. She became a product of Playboy fantasies, with the implants, Baywatch, etc. For her to attend Fashion Week, anywhere, make-up free, is her way of taking control of her own image and I applaud her. I think she looks great, and all the discussion, much of which is hateful, says more about those commenters than Pamela. She may in the future decide to wear make-up if she feels like , she does not owe anyone an explanation. BTW, aging is a PRIVILEGE that many don't get to experience, not a disease
Isn't it strange how "aging", which is something everyone does and has to do, has been turned into something we are supposed to not do? It's impossible! What are people thinking when they criticize people for getting old? Who do they think they are? Such a strange phenomenon to me.
She didn’t do it for everyone else. She did because that’s how she felt at the moment. I’m 63, no ‘work’done. I look good with and without makeup. She was very beautiful when she was younger, so she is beautiful at her age. Leave her be. I’m not even a fan of hers, just a woman who doesn’t like hating on every woman who chooses to do something you don’t. I think it’s great.
She’s a natural beauty and Dolly Parton is a natural beauty and Maya Angelou was a natural beauty. Real beauty comes from an inner kindness, confidence, and an unwillingness to accept the shame society tries to hold you down with. ❤Love natural beauty that glows from within despite what we choose to wear or not wear 🎉 go ladies!
Interesting. I am older than Pamela and love makeup and fashion. I also love "freedom" and can understand Pamela Anderson doing this. I do go out without makeup after I was able to get my skin in good condition. I do put on lipstick on if I go shopping. Then when I do wear makeup, it is with a lighthearted feeling; not because think I look awful without it. I do think accepting yourself and aging is healthy. Yes, I think she is a hero.
i totally appreciate your take on this. she IS the right woman for our generation to see, unafraid to age gracefully & against the current of expectations. growing old is a privilege. i have lost so many friends at what i consider a young age. i am grateful for every day i wake & open my eyes.
Pam is a down-to-earth, genuine, tomboy at heart that is bright, funny, and willing to share her journey in a spotlight that wants to tear anyone down as they are lifting you up. I say hats off to her for just living her life as authentically as she can. She's raised two healthy boys, survived Tommy Lee and the industry and still seems sweet and happy. Appearing sans makeup for fashion week was ballsy. I love that she's engaged in her life to go ahead and live it and revamp it. Not trying to hang onto the past. She's too busy being in the present. I love that her son wanted the world to know what an interesting, loveable person she is, the real Pamela, hence prompting her to write the book. How cool is that. That your kid would want that, that he feels that way? She's just a cool person. One so many women would want to be friends with. And to feel that way about a "sex symbol" woman shows there's a genuine quality about her that resonates. So the no makeup seems in perfect step with her. If she does decide to wear it she'll say "Hey, yes! I'm wearing makeup!" Love her!!😘💞🫶
I loved hanging out with you!!! I'm 52 and I have struggled with " keeping up" with looking young .... No more!!!! Not coloring my hair anymore after over 30 us years and wearing A LOT LESS make up these days..... Focusing more on my inner peace, spirituality.....my animals and those who love me for me. I think you are a BREATH OF FRESH AIR LADY!!! PEOPLE SUCK. PEOPLE are Shallow and selfish and UN KIND!!! KEEP KEEPING IT REAL!!!! XO Amy in CT.
Thank you Amy! I do find mostly people are great, there a few unevolved apples though. I'm really happy to bring people together who have this natural aging mindset. We are happy people!
Love your channel and insight. I’m 60. I think, look how long it took her to feel good about doing that. There’s a freedom in aging, a self acceptance, a lack of care for what others think of you. I’m about to write a book here so I’ll stop at that. Cheers!
Great video! I am 55 so only one year younger than Pamela. I have had a few surgeries myself but nothing anti-aging yet like a lift. I have had jaw surgery, two nose jobs, lip filler and a breast aug. I have plans for a lower face lift eventually. I can tell that Pamela has had a ton more work done than I have. So it's cool that she chooses not to wear a ton of makeup but I don't think we should make her out to be a natural icon. It's just a person choosing to not wear makeup. What she and I do is not ageing naturally. It feels weird to make it out to be a feminist choice. So I appreciate the nuanced take and the aversion to labels.
I really do try to avoid judgement, and it's hard to address different viewpoints without sounding like I'm on one side or another, so I appreciate that you liked this video! I just think that everyone should be doing their personal best at their current age. There's nothing more to it than that! 😘
I have turned 60 however I have taken good care of myself throughout my life. Even so, I have had to re-evaluate make up and what it means to my life. I have found that make up in general is now in 2 camps. 1) Use of make up to the extent of contour and immense amount of eye make-up along with tons of lipstick. Photo ready aaaall day. 2) Natural approach to make up. That is using makeup to enhance and bring out your own best qualities. I have gone to camp 2. I love using make up with precision to enhance. I feel like a clown when I put on the full extent. I want to let the world know who I am and I am happy with that. I am thinking that perhaps Pam Anderson came to the same conclusion.
You've definitely hit upon something that isn't well known. As you get older, your usual makeup routine starts to look more harsh. I do feel like a clown in my old makeup routine! I use way less these days and more like myself.
girl i'm a 22 year old fresh new subscriber of your page and can I just say, I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOU AND YOUR CONTENT. I relate to you and find your words resonating with me more than most content creators out there, especially those around my own age. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO WE LOVE IT
So sorry to hear about the rude email you received. Hope it did not get to you. You are the most genuine person and I enjoy your videos so much. You are funny, smart, and beautiful. It's mindboggling how some individuals think they can be nasty and rude to people they don't even know. Your channel is refreshing. Thanks for being here, you are much appreciated!
Thank you so much Gabi, and thank YOU for being here! The rude emails are always a little shocking but at the same time, I do feel I'm a little bit of a hillbilly and my teeth aren't exactly straight so I've was like, ok, are you done telling me what I already know?! 😅 Jeez, can I get back to drinking my coffee and petting kittens now?
@@unblahyourself I've only recently discovered your channel, but every time I see you, I think how much you resemble Rose McGowan, and I think she's stunning. You also have the most incredible eyes! And petting kittens should always take priority over rude people 😄
The problem I have about this and anyone else in the limelight having a lot of surgery is they are creating a new 'normal'. The new normal is not a realistic ageing face of a woman that age. It's making other women do strange things; they are either giving up because there is no point in trying to look good, or they are getting into debt for these looks, or they are suffering side effects of botox and surgery. I'm glad she's makeup-free because there had to be an antithesis of the drag makeup that is so prevalent today on females, so for that, applaud her. Still, hopefully, women will find a new normal in their lives and go for it, not get a myriad of surgeries first.
I love how you speak so eloquently about any subject without garbage language. Why do people not realize how much more attractive that makes them and seemingly more intelligent? I can sling a few words myself with my friends but I sure don’t do it in public or online. Thank you for doing us and yourself a great service. I’m An admirer. 🌷
Thank you! I do pepper some in but I bleep it out so I hope you don't find it disappointing when you might run across it! 😁 I do believe that we can choose more descriptive words than most curse words.
I think that she is showing her power and freedom to choose to not care what the outside world thinks because she knows she's more than the body and image she profited from.
I think we all get tired of playing the "sexy girl" game after a while since it really is set up for all of us to lose it anyhow! I am happy to see her settling into herself rather than running on that endless treadmill of aging panic.
Hi, I’m so glad I found your channel. You are so interesting, smart, funny, beautiful, and a great storyteller! I think you deserve many more subscribers than you have. I wish you all the best!
I haven't always held Pam Anderson in high regard. However, I do think standards in Hollywood are crazy and she was under pressure to look "the part" of a sex symbol, and was young and crazy, like many of us, but in the public eye, so always under scrutiny. I think its cool she is going against the grain and has opened the dialogue regarding "beauty" and "aging gracefully". I hate that term, because it connotes that others age awkwardly/unnaturally. I think aging is just "natural" and we all age in different ways, some have genes that "stall" the process (Heidi Klum, im looking at you), but eventually, we all get old and show signs of it. Im at an age where i want to look good and feel confident, but don't care about competing/comparing myself with other women.
I know a lot of women who don’t wear make up. And a lot who do. Being able to choose what your comfortable with at any given time without feeling judged would be great. But we live amongst flawed humans who’s egos feel the need to judge. And I’ve seen the judgement,usually from other women, come from both sides. The revolution is in non judgement. Of ourselves and others. Viva la revolution!!!
I love Pamela Anderson. I wouldn’t call her a hero, she’s more an icon or role model and i admire her for going without makeup regardless of whether she’s had work done. I had to laugh at your comment about eyebrows 😂. I’m in my 60s and wear little makeup now ( I used to do a full face for most of my life). But I will never go out without eyebrow makeup if I live to be 100.
I love your videos and your message about embracing your own beauty. I love that Pamela Anderson went make-up free to a big event. Just over a year ago, I decided to ditch the dye. Even though I am 65 it was still a difficult thing to do and I felt very vulnerable showing everyone what I had been hiding for so many years. But now, I wish I had never dyed my hair in the first place. I know that it's not for everyone and I have received some negative comments but I don't care, I didn't do it for anyone but me.
Yes Queen Baddie! I'm glad you're here! I'm growing out my gray and talking about it if you want to join us here... th-cam.com/video/JsR-r0rwo04/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tH3FVFTO7u2YwKaw
I do appreciate this, and that you have done videos with no makeup. I have rosacea and I don't dare go out in public with no makeup, but you have beautiful skin and eyes and lips, you could totally go without when you want. 😊
Actually that’s kind of funny because age creeps up on you. I look at my old drivers license through the years and I’m, what the heck! I wouldn’t be terribly offended by such a comment but I’m just like that.
Im 48 and I typically only wear makeup for special occasions. It just feels normal for me. I like wearing it and when I do I feel amazing. But it doesn’t feel like a requirement for me. I like the freedom of choosing when and where to wear it. I feel pretty with or without it. Its more a form of art or self expression for me.
I think this was an insightful and awesome video. Pamela Anderson is an awesome lady and she is opening up some great dialogue..As yiu said , it’s not easy being vulnerable and just putting yourself out there for all to critic. Thank you ❤
I’ve never worn foundation, only eyeliner, blush and something on my lips. I had my doubters who thought I wore foundation and I always took that as a compliment. Thankful that I had good genes because I couldn’t stand the feeling of foundation. Even though I’m older now, I’m very accepting of my appearance. I think it takes a certain level of bravery to step out with no makeup after always wearing makeup out. I don’t judge people….my feeling is you do whatever makes you happy and whatever makes you comfortable.
Even with plastic surgery, a face without make up is brave especially when the whole world is looking. Why can't women be supportive of each other and not so " catty?"
Well, I guess I am bold. But of course I am 71, no longer work and live alone. But I am happy with my face. I've had it my whole life . 😅. May I say Diana, you have beautiful hands !
Thank you! You are the only person who has ever told me that! I've been told many times they are not so nice looking, but they work well so I like them! 😁
Makeup - I am a natural born female, 59 years of age. I am not American, maybe that is one reason why I never wore much makeup all my life. In my country, natural beauty is ideal. Men don't usually prefer women with "enhancements" such as popular cosmetic procedures or face paint. This is very much a cultural thing. It doesn't mean women in my country don't wear makeup or have work done, some of them do, but even so, most of the time, it's minimal. My younger sister almost always wears makeup, but as I said, it's minimal. So, for me, it wasn't a thing either way, I put no thought into it. I have manicures and pedicures, I even had acrylic nails at times, for an event, or just because. I like red lipstick, and sometimes even a little powder blush, but seldom have had my hair done professionally, and yes, that has happened, but now I cut it myself. I don't have botox, fillers, or lasers, or dermabrasion, etc. I have a facial once in a long while, just a basic facial, maybe some mild AHA facial. I love massage, I'd indulge in that if it were not so expensive. So for me, the makeup thing is not my vibe, but of course it's totally fine if women want to wear it. Now.................for an actress, especially one who was considered a sex symbol, for Pamela to not wear makeup for some big film festival, I'd say yes, that's bold, but only because of the subculture around it. She has had all sorts of work done all over her face and body. So, natural she is not. But makeup free, yes. What is good about this is that she is defying the norms particularly in that subculture. No one in entertainment is my hero or role model. Well, Keanu Reeves, maybe. :) But it's good that Pamela and hopefully others in the film/modeling/music arena challenge the mentality and expectation that a woman has to always present herself as a perfectly pretty, shiny, made-up, nipped and tucked, visually sexualized object. If women want to be objectified, that's okay too. But the other way does take some guts and real confidence in this society.
I'm just glad we see a "different" face and Pamela is not toting the "look" that so many of the celebraties are following. Beyonce, Kim Kardashian are examples that come to mind. I much prefer a unique face. Selma Hayek comes to mind. Maybe she's had work, maybe she hasn't. It doesn't matter she is gorgeous and doesn't look like she put on a ton of makeup to achieve that look.
OMG Diana, I nearly choked on my toast when you were talking about your eyebrows and that you'd never go out without filling them in ....EVER! I absolutely love your videos 🥰
I celebrate women who are free to be themselves! It’s all your choice how you want to look and express yourself in the world! I personally like a classic and elegant look…I think your makeup looks beautiful! Thank you for sharing this video!!
I applaud Pamela for her choice. Rightly or wrongly, celebrities are a big societal influence and it’s wonderful to see such women of all sorts being their natural selves, whether that’s going makeup free or embracing their natural hair color. My choice to go makeup-free was made for me last year by my body which has reacted to every “clean” eye shadow and eyeliner I’ve tried. It’s been an interesting experience learning to be comfortable being makeup-free in public. I’m lucky to have great skin so mineral sunscreen is my foundation but I do feel prettier wearing a lightly tinted lip balm and yes, filling in my eyebrows!
She is a natural beauty and, though I have no idea, the more I know about her the more I think she is just as beautiful inside - I wasn’t a fan of her heavy makeup style before bc I thought it hid her beauty - I love makeup, so it’s not bc I’m into “natural” - I also love heavy cool editorial or goth makeup or any style really- but for PA, it just seemed like it was covering her - again, I have no idea, but I thought it was insecurities and outside society pressure - and she was so abused by the public, imo - but she also developed a super strong persona, which was part of the makeup too, so I get it - but, from her recent interviews, I get the impression she is completely grown and confident - something you can not t rush and only achieve with age anyway… if your lucky to get older - she’s a fantastic celebrity and from what she has done in her life throughout, I would say she’s has developed into a hero too
Diana! Great post. I grew up in So Ca and I’m going to be 60 this year. As a beach girl I never wore make up and so I never learned to properly apply it. (Pre TH-cam era). Through the years I have had a mostly natural look. Since my mid 40’s I learned to apply makeup with the objective of looking like I don’t have makeup on. As I have got older I have started to fill in the brows. Also, even though I wear sunscreen now, I do have sun damage so I wear a tinted moisturizer, or a light foundation. I applaud PA for her choice and I agree with you that she probably had some lip color and/or some tinted moisturizer in her face. Also, as a person who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup, when I do have an event sometimes I’ll have a makeup artist “do” my face for the evening. Then, I feel like a star. Lastly, I have a lot of friends who (because of our age) are starting to get things done surgically. And, I’m seeing a lot of Same Face or Same Lip syndrome. Why is aging such a quandary for women? It’s sad.
I am TOTALLY with you. This woman’s life has almost always been lived in the glare of the public eye. ‘Work’ or no work, to be ‘who’ she is and choosing to put herself under the spotlight, cameras, etc and be all over the internet in a mostly negative manner. Hero, no. Brave, yes.
Diana-I had the #87 this past July-I love makeup and will not stop wearing it but I have changed a little on how much I use. I don’t want to look like an eighteen year old runway model- just a better version of me-that’s my goal-hope I achieve it.
You are absolutely right. Our generation understands that she IS THE ONE who makes the biggest difference in doing this. She was a standard we were all told we needed to meet. It was shitty. And she knows it too. Her choice has helped me heal.
Dianah, you are so grounded! Everything you said is right on! Personally, I have worn full makeup for many years. I'm wanting to do less, I'm approaching 70 yo, I've always worn foundation and wouldn't leave the house without it (acne scars). BUT foundation started to show every wrinkle in a big way! So now, I'm living without it and using alot of your maintenance tips for great looking skin and living in my own beauty, like you tell us. And...I hate the haters, too! If you can't say anything nice... you know.
Pamela Anderson has spent her adult life working hard on behalf of animal welfare around the world. I have admired her so much for that and for her exquisite beauty and I also read her recently published book which I thought was very well written and authentic.
I think "hero" might be too strong a word for her, but I do admire her for going without, and I agree with you, she is the right person to do this. I don't see it as a publicity stunt at all. She is just being true to herself, which must be hard with the whole world watching and commenting. Your comments on this topic are incredibly insightful. I really enjoyed this, thank you!
I agree with you basically on all points. I'll turn 49 soon. I used to dye my hair blond and wear makeup and once I grew out my natural color and reduced my makeup to a blush and occasionally lip gloss, you have no idea how many people remind me that they find I looked so much better blond. I can't even. It's so ridiculous. I lost my whole respect for them. Let people be and look however the f they want. Oh and comments about my age, also annoying. People sometimes suck.
I agree. What makes people feel they need to say these things out loud? I have thought about this and I think it warrants an entire video but here is what I think is under it.... they want to believe that everything they have been doing to fit the beauty standard was necessary, good, and worth it. When you show them that personal choice, ease with your own body, and self love are doable, they feel "wrong". They want to be right, and they want to let you know they are right. It's awful. One time I wore a black wig at Halloween and everyone said I looked SO MUCH BETTER. lololol Oh, ok, just let me change myself completely for your comfort.
@unblahyourself I think so, too. Oh, and with the wig, that is so typical 🙈 I feel that people also can't handle someone disregarding beauty standards, and it makes them feel uncertain. Because it is kinda daring. It's different. But I learned to love and embrace different. Honestly, at the end of the day, what do I have from other's approval? Plus, my Husky couldn't care less if I were butt ugly as long as I keep spoiling him ☺️ dogs teach us better. My husband loves me the way I am no matter what. And my skills are not disappearing with lack of trendy hair or makeup or whatnot. I am very excited about you making that video. I resonate with your the so much and love listening to you while doing something creative. It's like a coffee with a bestie.
I am thinking of 2 operations a woman can have that are both very fraught and very difficult to make and live with. One involves whether or not to bring a new life into the world and the other is around appearance. I have had both. Eventually one learns how difficult our lives are, we make the best decisions we can at the time we make them and learn to accept and love ourselves whatever choices we have made.
I was surprised when I saw the picture - a celebrity who shows up a little more „easy“. I do not care about age, I do not care about work done or not but it gives me a feeling of freedom that I can go out of the house with lipstick only😎
As a 28 year old.. I mostly see the nice things about your face. You look really young, like begin - mid 30s. I love your green eyes. Social media is weird..
She wanted to become relevant again. She’s a smart woman! And pretty. She did something to get noticed! And now she wears some make up again. But it looks nice. And yes she has had work done and fillers. But who cares! I wish celebrities would be more honest about it but that’s ok too. She’s also allowed to live her life and enjoy it.
I have such light colored eyebrows and I will not go out without adding some color. It's as if they are invisible. They definitely frame my face when colored in. BIG difference...
I wear makeup to make myself feel better. I do it for me. If that little thing can affect my mood, my self esteem then all the better. Its an investment in me. And if a few minutes can so drastically affect me so I dont feel invisible then its worth it.
I too think it is great for her to go "make-up free" which is partially true, and a huge departure from her previous way of presenting herself! She still does wear some make-up and love that she is wearing so much less, and is beautiful.
I’m 69 and I am retired so I don’t go out much. I have great skin and good skin care but lipstick is the only thing that I do every day now ,when I go out to lunch or wherever I’m going, I put make up on, but it’s very minimal and clean 😊 I think when you get older, it looks better if you were less, I love the fact that Pamela made the bold move not to wear make up!
I'm 60 and don't play into that, I got old, crap. Where I grew up, every ache and pain was about, It's old age creeping in. I believe that sets anyone up because our words have power, our speech comes out of our beliefs and remain beliefs as long as we are willing to let them. I often don't wear makeup, but I'm starting to. Just a little. If someone wears makeup or not doesn't really even cross my mind. Do. you.
Trust me at 60 you'll like a bit of makeup. A little sparkle goes a long way to brighten your day ...and face. But I do find foundation aging at this age but using a glow enhancer is pretty nice. You are spot on about knowing your colors. Life changing
What a champion you are! Thanks for fighting for what you believe and for the rights of women (and everyone) to do what pleases them. I love the coffee shop story. I think you're an innovative, energetic, fountain of creativity. I love your fun videos and appreciate this one for the lesson it provides. Thank you!
That was a fun honest and bold conversation, I appreciate you, so much! I'll be 62 this October and I haven't worn makeup in 6 years, mind you, I love makeup and still buy it, funny thing is... I still don't wear it! I need eyebrows and don't apply them, I love lip color and only wear a moisture balm, I adore eye shadow but just don't bother anymore. I guess I'm quite happy with my face, or else I would use my makeup, so funny, huh?
I look awful without makeup (57) saggy skin, butterfly mask, dark eye circles, I can’t afford all the beauty treatments and to be perfectly frank, the last few years not only can’t I be bothered to wear makeup I hate the feel of it now. So I brave it without makeup.
I've been makeup free most of my life. Most of that is due to my complexion- a medium olive complexion with strong eyebrows & eyelashes. When I would go out dancing then I'd have some lipstick and eyeliner & people would react to me like I really did myself up. Now that I'm in my 60's, I'm starting to consider some makeup- a bit of blush, lip color and mascara.
I think it was a brave thing to do in an industry that is so prejudice to women in general! Yah she has money to do what she wants to her face. We need to all move forward to accept ourselves do the best with what god gave us and forgot being judged! Live your life🦋

I don't think Pamela was trying to be a hero to anyone .
She decided to go make up free as a homage to her late make up artist and friend.
But the fact that we live in a world where not wearing make up is considered heroic is extremely disturbing.
I know. Why are we expected to wear makeup?
@@Dogandcatmom51Why are we applauded for NOT wearing makeup?
I think the most important thing about Ms. Anderson not wearing a lot of makeup is the message our young people will get from it. That is, makeup is a choice, not a requirement.
So well-stated!
I don’t even own makeup. I’m 52. I just have never understood why we are expected to wear it when men aren’t.
I don't think young people are going to get much of a message from this. She'll get more credit from having been treated like crap in the past (like Britney being hounded about her virginity) and still be standing as we look at our own behavior back then with fresh eyes. At best, if they even notice, they'll applaud her for doing it, having in the back of their mind that she's still rich and famous and has a nice place to live so it's okay. She's still got those accessories. What they probably won't do is give their own peers much credit for going without makeup.
@@Dogandcatmom51 My daughter had never worn makeup and she is 42 years old. She's got peaches and cream skin and just never seen the need to wear it.
I have a feeling young people don’t know who she is ..
38 years-old French woman here, so I grew up during this 'Pamela-baywatch-sex-symbol era'. I understand given Pamela's background, why this is a bold choice for her. However, to me, going make-up free does not make us heroes or activists. I think the bigger subject would be, why, in 2024, society still constantly tries to define women based SOLELY on their appearance. To me, that's the real trap we should be wary of. (Being solely defined and judging each other based on our appearance)
Yes, So irritating. You know that underneath it all is a pile of $$$
I'm dutch and I wholeheartedly agree.. I find this americanisation through social media extremely toxic. Most of these trends and ideas come from the states. We were better off being more disconnected from them...
The Americans were definitely better off too. Wish people had the courage to can social media instead of make-up!!!
I’m 57 and not giving up makeup. I just enjoy it. It’s fun. But I can see where in her life she’s just over it. I haven’t spent my life being followed around and always expected to look perfect. As for you not giving up doing your brows, let me tell you, one of my dearest friends still does hers at 82! It’s the only thing she still does makeup wise and refuses to give it up too.
I totally agree!
@@unblahyourself Eyebrows are the picture frame to the eyes
I saw an influencer talking about how her doctor said to put Rogaine on her eyebrows with a q-tip, and she showed the difference. She got her brows back from the pre-2000s. It can be done.
I’m 82 and draw my eye brows on every single day!
🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧☕🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤
74 here, I have virtually no eyebrows, I will NEVER give up doing my eyebrows. I also wear eyeliner everyday, and when I leave the house I have foundation on and eyeshadow. I enjoy putting it all on. I look like me when I’m done. I’m still authentically me. I look like I take care of myself, it’s for me. I so appreciate all of what you said. ❤
Thanks for sharing!!
We don't have to compare and compete. I came from a.family of women that tore eachother down , betrayed eachother , etc .
The deepest healing that is ongoing for me is making peace , power and joy with other women.
Also , I like Ms. Anderson's choice .
You are a sunshine to us, haters are just miserable people !
Physical appearance and how it shapes a woman's life is actually a very important issue. We're picked apart by men, and each other the minute we turn 13. So I'd say that going makeup free at 56 (at a public event no less) is a courageous and radical act. But I still recognise where those other women are coming from. Being an aging peasant lady is always gonna be harder.
13? It starts at birth.
There's always going to be haters. I personally think her going make up free was fantastic and inspiring. It shows a lot of confidence, regardless of whether she has had work done. Society is so ageist and is especially critical of how older women look and often women feel more confident with life experience NOT less!
Hope this will inspire other women to be more at ease with who they are and how they want to show up.
It made me like her for being so different from the other wealthy celebrities.
YES to all of this! ❤❤❤
Alicia Keys also had a no make up period. It was lovely and inspiring
Pamela looks normal and unique for 50 instead of plastic or unrecognizable. 💜
Agree. She doesn’t look like she has had plastic surgery to me.
Doesn't she??? ....@@mommabear5059
@@mommabear5059 She definitely has had it.
She says that she has had many procedures ( lasers, peels, Botox, etc) but no surgery
Let's not go overboard here - she's had tons of cosmetic work done.
Pam was a stunningly pretty girl when she was discovered. She became a product of Playboy fantasies, with the implants, Baywatch, etc. For her to attend Fashion Week, anywhere, make-up free, is her way of taking control of her own image and I applaud her. I think she looks great, and all the discussion, much of which is hateful, says more about those commenters than Pamela. She may in the future decide to wear make-up if she feels like , she does not owe anyone an explanation. BTW, aging is a PRIVILEGE that many don't get to experience, not a disease
Isn't it strange how "aging", which is something everyone does and has to do, has been turned into something we are supposed to not do? It's impossible! What are people thinking when they criticize people for getting old? Who do they think they are? Such a strange phenomenon to me.
I don't look to heroes; but I think, if she loves her choices and feels happy and confident, then power to her!
Totally agree 100% on the eyebrows. A groomed brow makes your face look so much better. I am 71. I use minimal make-up. I just want to look fresher.
She didn’t do it for everyone else. She did because that’s how she felt at the moment. I’m 63, no ‘work’done. I look good with and without makeup. She was very beautiful when she was younger, so she is beautiful at her age. Leave her be. I’m not even a fan of hers, just a woman who doesn’t like hating on every woman who chooses to do something you don’t. I think it’s great.
She’s a natural beauty and Dolly Parton is a natural beauty and Maya Angelou was a natural beauty. Real beauty comes from an inner kindness, confidence, and an unwillingness to accept the shame society tries to hold you down with. ❤Love natural beauty that glows from within despite what we choose to wear or not wear 🎉 go ladies!
You are brilliant. This channel is so healing.
Interesting. I am older than Pamela and love makeup and fashion. I also love "freedom" and can understand Pamela Anderson doing this. I do go out without makeup after I was able to get my skin in good condition. I do put on lipstick on if I go shopping. Then when I do wear makeup, it is with a lighthearted feeling; not because think I look awful without it. I do think accepting yourself and aging is healthy. Yes, I think she is a hero.
i totally appreciate your take on this. she IS the right woman for our generation to see, unafraid to age gracefully & against the current of expectations.
growing old is a privilege. i have lost so many friends at what i consider a young age. i am grateful for every day i wake & open my eyes.
Pam has always been beautiful and always will be, inside and out.
Pam is a down-to-earth, genuine, tomboy at heart that is bright, funny, and willing to share her journey in a spotlight that wants to tear anyone down as they are lifting you up. I say hats off to her for just living her life as authentically as she can. She's raised two healthy boys, survived Tommy Lee and the industry and still seems sweet and happy. Appearing sans makeup for fashion week was ballsy. I love that she's engaged in her life to go ahead and live it and revamp it. Not trying to hang onto the past. She's too busy being in the present. I love that her son wanted the world to know what an interesting, loveable person she is, the real Pamela, hence prompting her to write the book. How cool is that. That your kid would want that, that he feels that way? She's just a cool person. One so many women would want to be friends with. And to feel that way about a "sex symbol" woman shows there's a genuine quality about her that resonates. So the no makeup seems in perfect step with her. If she does decide to wear it she'll say "Hey, yes! I'm wearing makeup!" Love her!!😘💞🫶
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Diana, in this video, YOU are a hero.
Aw, thank you!!
Brilliant marketing trick. She got noticed, commented, became designer muse, promotes her own brand etc.
I loved hanging out with you!!! I'm 52 and I have struggled with " keeping up" with looking young .... No more!!!! Not coloring my hair anymore after over 30 us years and wearing A LOT LESS make up these days..... Focusing more on my inner peace, spirituality.....my animals and those who love me for me. I think you are a BREATH OF FRESH AIR LADY!!! PEOPLE SUCK. PEOPLE are Shallow and selfish and UN KIND!!! KEEP KEEPING IT REAL!!!! XO Amy in CT.
Thank you Amy! I do find mostly people are great, there a few unevolved apples though. I'm really happy to bring people together who have this natural aging mindset. We are happy people!
Love your channel and insight. I’m 60. I think, look how long it took her to feel good about doing that. There’s a freedom in aging, a self acceptance, a lack of care for what others think of you. I’m about to write a book here so I’ll stop at that. Cheers!
Thanks for being here, Jen! That's the word: freedom. With every year I feel more and more free!
Great video! I am 55 so only one year younger than Pamela. I have had a few surgeries myself but nothing anti-aging yet like a lift. I have had jaw surgery, two nose jobs, lip filler and a breast aug. I have plans for a lower face lift eventually. I can tell that Pamela has had a ton more work done than I have. So it's cool that she chooses not to wear a ton of makeup but I don't think we should make her out to be a natural icon. It's just a person choosing to not wear makeup. What she and I do is not ageing naturally. It feels weird to make it out to be a feminist choice. So I appreciate the nuanced take and the aversion to labels.
I really do try to avoid judgement, and it's hard to address different viewpoints without sounding like I'm on one side or another, so I appreciate that you liked this video! I just think that everyone should be doing their personal best at their current age. There's nothing more to it than that! 😘
I have turned 60 however I have taken good care of myself throughout my life. Even so, I have had to re-evaluate make up and what it means to my life. I have found that make up in general is now in 2 camps. 1) Use of make up to the extent of contour and immense amount of eye make-up along with tons of lipstick. Photo ready aaaall day. 2) Natural approach to make up. That is using makeup to enhance and bring out your own best qualities. I have gone to camp 2. I love using make up with precision to enhance. I feel like a clown when I put on the full extent. I want to let the world know who I am and I am happy with that. I am thinking that perhaps Pam Anderson came to the same conclusion.
You've definitely hit upon something that isn't well known. As you get older, your usual makeup routine starts to look more harsh. I do feel like a clown in my old makeup routine! I use way less these days and more like myself.

So sorry to hear about the rude email you received. Hope it did not get to you. You are the most genuine person and I enjoy your videos so much. You are funny, smart, and beautiful. It's mindboggling how some individuals think they can be nasty and rude to people they don't even know. Your channel is refreshing. Thanks for being here, you are much appreciated!
Thank you so much Gabi, and thank YOU for being here! The rude emails are always a little shocking but at the same time, I do feel I'm a little bit of a hillbilly and my teeth aren't exactly straight so I've was like, ok, are you done telling me what I already know?! 😅 Jeez, can I get back to drinking my coffee and petting kittens now?
Please do!❤️
@@unblahyourself I've only recently discovered your channel, but every time I see you, I think how much you resemble Rose McGowan, and I think she's stunning. You also have the most incredible eyes! And petting kittens should always take priority over rude people 😄
The problem I have about this and anyone else in the limelight having a lot of surgery is they are creating a new 'normal'. The new normal is not a realistic ageing face of a woman that age. It's making other women do strange things; they are either giving up because there is no point in trying to look good, or they are getting into debt for these looks, or they are suffering side effects of botox and surgery. I'm glad she's makeup-free because there had to be an antithesis of the drag makeup that is so prevalent today on females, so for that, applaud her. Still, hopefully, women will find a new normal in their lives and go for it, not get a myriad of surgeries first.
I love how you speak so eloquently about any subject without garbage language. Why do people not realize how much more attractive that makes them and seemingly more intelligent? I can sling a few words myself with my friends but I sure don’t do it in public or online. Thank you for doing us and yourself a great service. I’m
An admirer. 🌷
Thank you! I do pepper some in but I bleep it out so I hope you don't find it disappointing when you might run across it! 😁 I do believe that we can choose more descriptive words than most curse words.
I think that she is showing her power and freedom to choose to not care what the outside world thinks because she knows she's more than the body and image she profited from.
I think we all get tired of playing the "sexy girl" game after a while since it really is set up for all of us to lose it anyhow! I am happy to see her settling into herself rather than running on that endless treadmill of aging panic.
Hi, I’m so glad I found your channel. You are so interesting, smart, funny, beautiful, and a great storyteller! I think you deserve many more subscribers than you have. I wish you all the best!
Thank you so much! 😘
I haven't always held Pam Anderson in high regard. However, I do think standards in Hollywood are crazy and she was under pressure to look "the part" of a sex symbol, and was young and crazy, like many of us, but in the public eye, so always under scrutiny. I think its cool she is going against the grain and has opened the dialogue regarding "beauty" and "aging gracefully". I hate that term, because it connotes that others age awkwardly/unnaturally. I think aging is just "natural" and we all age in different ways, some have genes that "stall" the process (Heidi Klum, im looking at you), but eventually, we all get old and show signs of it. Im at an age where i want to look good and feel confident, but don't care about competing/comparing myself with other women.
That's exactly it! Just look your own best!
I know a lot of women who don’t wear make up. And a lot who do. Being able to choose what your comfortable with at any given time without feeling judged would be great. But we live amongst flawed humans who’s egos feel the need to judge. And I’ve seen the judgement,usually from other women, come from both sides. The revolution is in non judgement. Of ourselves and others. Viva la revolution!!!
She is a hero and inspired me at 57 to stop wearing make up. It feels so good and I am happier without it.
I love Pamela Anderson. I wouldn’t call her a hero, she’s more an icon or role model and i admire her for going without makeup regardless of whether she’s had work done. I had to laugh at your comment about eyebrows 😂. I’m in my 60s and wear little makeup now ( I used to do a full face for most of my life). But I will never go out without eyebrow makeup if I live to be 100.
VIVA LA EYEBROWS 😆
I love your videos and your message about embracing your own beauty. I love that Pamela Anderson went make-up free to a big event. Just over a year ago, I decided to ditch the dye. Even though I am 65 it was still a difficult thing to do and I felt very vulnerable showing everyone what I had been hiding for so many years. But now, I wish I had never dyed my hair in the first place. I know that it's not for everyone and I have received some negative comments but I don't care, I didn't do it for anyone but me.
Yes Queen Baddie! I'm glad you're here! I'm growing out my gray and talking about it if you want to join us here... th-cam.com/video/JsR-r0rwo04/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tH3FVFTO7u2YwKaw
You are very beautiful and smart . I am 68 and beautiful too , not as smart. I learned the hard way. Thank You God for all your goodness.🥰
I do appreciate this, and that you have done videos with no makeup. I have rosacea and I don't dare go out in public with no makeup, but you have beautiful skin and eyes and lips, you could totally go without when you want. 😊
Thank you! I can't go out without eyebrows though (and I only really have one! )
once recently I saw someone who I hadn't seen in a while and the first thing she said to me after looking at me was "we're getting old".
Ah, that's nice... Makes you wonder what it's like to have so little filter between your thoughts and your mouth.
@@unblahyourself maybe you don't remember this like I do.....
@@1sydsong lol
Actually that’s kind of funny because age creeps up on you. I look at my old drivers license through the years and I’m, what the heck! I wouldn’t be terribly offended by such a comment but I’m just like that.
@@ritaroad I wasn't offended, just recounting a shared moment with Ms. Unblah.
Im 48 and I typically only wear makeup for special occasions. It just feels normal for me. I like wearing it and when I do I feel amazing. But it doesn’t feel like a requirement for me. I like the freedom of choosing when and where to wear it. I feel pretty with or without it. Its more a form of art or self expression for me.
I think this was an insightful and awesome video. Pamela Anderson is an awesome lady and she is opening up some great dialogue..As yiu said , it’s not easy being vulnerable and just putting yourself out there for all to critic. Thank you ❤
She is 56, not 66. I still looked pretty young at 56 too. The last year I’ve aged a good 10-15 years. Stress and no estrogen takes it’s toll.
I hear ya!
I think the world of both Pamela AND Paulina, in terms of aging with grace and being truly beautiful (both inside AND out!)❤❤❤
I’m so glad I subscribed to you…you’re authentic and fun ❤
Thank you! Welcome!
I happily agree. Christine Scaman has wonderful information and she truly knows her style and colors. ❤
I’ve never worn foundation, only eyeliner, blush and something on my lips. I had my doubters who thought I wore foundation and I always took that as a compliment. Thankful that I had good genes because I couldn’t stand the feeling of foundation. Even though I’m older now, I’m very accepting of my appearance. I think it takes a certain level of bravery to step out with no makeup after always wearing makeup out. I don’t judge people….my feeling is you do whatever makes you happy and whatever makes you comfortable.
I'm with you ! Putting my eyebrows on as I listen to you, would rather be seen (partially) naked than without my brows !
Heh. I got old because I was smart enough to not do anything stupid and die young.
Right, Shame on you! 🤣
Even with plastic surgery, a face without make up is brave especially when the whole world is looking. Why can't women be supportive of each other and not so " catty?"
Haha 😂
also because you are in good health
Survivor bias
Well, I guess I am bold. But of course I am 71, no longer work and live alone. But I am happy with my face. I've had it my whole life . 😅. May I say Diana, you have beautiful hands !
Thank you! You are the only person who has ever told me that! I've been told many times they are not so nice looking, but they work well so I like them! 😁
Makeup - I am a natural born female, 59 years of age. I am not American, maybe that is one reason why I never wore much makeup all my life. In my country, natural beauty is ideal. Men don't usually prefer women with "enhancements" such as popular cosmetic procedures or face paint. This is very much a cultural thing. It doesn't mean women in my country don't wear makeup or have work done, some of them do, but even so, most of the time, it's minimal. My younger sister almost always wears makeup, but as I said, it's minimal. So, for me, it wasn't a thing either way, I put no thought into it. I have manicures and pedicures, I even had acrylic nails at times, for an event, or just because. I like red lipstick, and sometimes even a little powder blush, but seldom have had my hair done professionally, and yes, that has happened, but now I cut it myself. I don't have botox, fillers, or lasers, or dermabrasion, etc. I have a facial once in a long while, just a basic facial, maybe some mild AHA facial. I love massage, I'd indulge in that if it were not so expensive. So for me, the makeup thing is not my vibe, but of course it's totally fine if women want to wear it. Now.................for an actress, especially one who was considered a sex symbol, for Pamela to not wear makeup for some big film festival, I'd say yes, that's bold, but only because of the subculture around it. She has had all sorts of work done all over her face and body. So, natural she is not. But makeup free, yes. What is good about this is that she is defying the norms particularly in that subculture. No one in entertainment is my hero or role model. Well, Keanu Reeves, maybe. :) But it's good that Pamela and hopefully others in the film/modeling/music arena challenge the mentality and expectation that a woman has to always present herself as a perfectly pretty, shiny, made-up, nipped and tucked, visually sexualized object. If women want to be objectified, that's okay too. But the other way does take some guts and real confidence in this society.
“..To a twenty-year-old…. she IS THAT old..! ” haha!! 😅 True sis! My fave line!
"Old" is relative! 😂
I'm just glad we see a "different" face and Pamela is not toting the "look" that so many of the celebraties are following. Beyonce, Kim Kardashian are examples that come to mind. I much prefer a unique face. Selma Hayek comes to mind. Maybe she's had work, maybe she hasn't. It doesn't matter she is gorgeous and doesn't look like she put on a ton of makeup to achieve that look.
OMG Diana, I nearly choked on my toast when you were talking about your eyebrows and that you'd never go out without filling them in ....EVER! I absolutely love your videos 🥰
Thank you! ☺
I celebrate women who are free to be themselves! It’s all your choice how you want to look and express yourself in the world! I personally like a classic and elegant look…I think your makeup looks beautiful!
Thank you for sharing this video!!
I applaud Pamela for her choice. Rightly or wrongly, celebrities are a big societal influence and it’s wonderful to see such women of all sorts being their natural selves, whether that’s going makeup free or embracing their natural hair color. My choice to go makeup-free was made for me last year by my body which has reacted to every “clean” eye shadow and eyeliner I’ve tried. It’s been an interesting experience learning to be comfortable being makeup-free in public. I’m lucky to have great skin so mineral sunscreen is my foundation but I do feel prettier wearing a lightly tinted lip balm and yes, filling in my eyebrows!
She is a natural beauty and, though I have no idea, the more I know about her the more I think she is just as beautiful inside - I wasn’t a fan of her heavy makeup style before bc I thought it hid her beauty - I love makeup, so it’s not bc I’m into “natural” - I also love heavy cool editorial or goth makeup or any style really- but for PA, it just seemed like it was covering her - again, I have no idea, but I thought it was insecurities and outside society pressure - and she was so abused by the public, imo - but she also developed a super strong persona, which was part of the makeup too, so I get it - but, from her recent interviews, I get the impression she is completely grown and confident - something you can not t rush and only achieve with age anyway… if your lucky to get older - she’s a fantastic celebrity and from what she has done in her life throughout, I would say she’s has developed into a hero too
Very nicely said!
Diana! Great post. I grew up in So Ca and I’m going to be 60 this year. As a beach girl I never wore make up and so I never learned to properly apply it. (Pre TH-cam era). Through the years I have had a mostly natural look. Since my mid 40’s I learned to apply makeup with the objective of looking like I don’t have makeup on. As I have got older I have started to fill in the brows. Also, even though I wear sunscreen now, I do have sun damage so I wear a tinted moisturizer, or a light foundation. I applaud PA for her choice and I agree with you that she probably had some lip color and/or some tinted moisturizer in her face.
Also, as a person who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup, when I do have an event sometimes I’ll have a makeup artist “do” my face for the evening. Then, I feel like a star. Lastly, I have a lot of friends who (because of our age) are starting to get things done surgically. And, I’m seeing a lot of Same Face or Same Lip syndrome. Why is aging such a quandary for women? It’s sad.
It definitely shouldn't be this hard! ❤
Diana, you are such a breath of fresh air to me. I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I can’t get enough of your quirky wisdom bring it!
Thank you! Glad you're here! 😘
I am TOTALLY with you. This woman’s life has almost always been lived in the glare of the public eye. ‘Work’ or no work, to be ‘who’ she is and choosing to put herself under the spotlight, cameras, etc and be all over the internet in a mostly negative manner. Hero, no. Brave, yes.
Haters will hate. I prefer positive kindness. ❤❤❤❤
Me too! Why do it any other way?
Diana-I had the #87 this past July-I love makeup and will not stop wearing it but I have changed a little on how much I use. I don’t want to look like an eighteen year old runway model- just a better version of me-that’s my goal-hope I achieve it.
Sounds like you know what you're doing! 😘
You are absolutely right. Our generation understands that she IS THE ONE who makes the biggest difference in doing this. She was a standard we were all told we needed to meet. It was shitty. And she knows it too. Her choice has helped me heal.
❤
Awesome video! Thanks
Dianah, you are so grounded! Everything you said is right on! Personally, I have worn full makeup for many years. I'm wanting to do less, I'm approaching 70 yo, I've always worn foundation and wouldn't leave the house without it (acne scars). BUT foundation started to show every wrinkle in a big way! So now, I'm living without it and using alot of your maintenance tips for great looking skin and living in my own beauty, like you tell us. And...I hate the haters, too! If you can't say anything nice... you know.
Less is definitely more on older skin, and that's a great thing. Freedom! ❤
Pamela Anderson has spent her adult life working hard on behalf of animal welfare around the world. I have admired her so much for that and for her exquisite beauty and I also read her recently published book which I thought was very well written and authentic.
She seems to be an authentic person.
I think "hero" might be too strong a word for her, but I do admire her for going without, and I agree with you, she is the right person to do this. I don't see it as a publicity stunt at all. She is just being true to herself, which must be hard with the whole world watching and commenting. Your comments on this topic are incredibly insightful. I really enjoyed this, thank you!
Glad you liked this!
I love YOU and your FACE more than EVER after this honest video baby!!!! U made my day!!!!!! Amy from CT ❤
😘
I agree with you basically on all points. I'll turn 49 soon. I used to dye my hair blond and wear makeup and once I grew out my natural color and reduced my makeup to a blush and occasionally lip gloss, you have no idea how many people remind me that they find I looked so much better blond. I can't even. It's so ridiculous. I lost my whole respect for them. Let people be and look however the f they want. Oh and comments about my age, also annoying. People sometimes suck.
I agree. What makes people feel they need to say these things out loud? I have thought about this and I think it warrants an entire video but here is what I think is under it.... they want to believe that everything they have been doing to fit the beauty standard was necessary, good, and worth it. When you show them that personal choice, ease with your own body, and self love are doable, they feel "wrong". They want to be right, and they want to let you know they are right. It's awful. One time I wore a black wig at Halloween and everyone said I looked SO MUCH BETTER. lololol Oh, ok, just let me change myself completely for your comfort.
I think I do want to make that video. Would you be ok with me using your comment and your username? It's ok if not. Lmk!
@unblahyourself of course you can use my comment, anytime, dear.
@unblahyourself I think so, too. Oh, and with the wig, that is so typical 🙈 I feel that people also can't handle someone disregarding beauty standards, and it makes them feel uncertain. Because it is kinda daring. It's different. But I learned to love and embrace different. Honestly, at the end of the day, what do I have from other's approval? Plus, my Husky couldn't care less if I were butt ugly as long as I keep spoiling him ☺️ dogs teach us better. My husband loves me the way I am no matter what. And my skills are not disappearing with lack of trendy hair or makeup or whatnot. I am very excited about you making that video. I resonate with your the so much and love listening to you while doing something creative. It's like a coffee with a bestie.
I am thinking of 2 operations a woman can have that are both very fraught and very difficult to make and live with. One involves whether or not to bring a new life into the world and the other is around appearance. I have had both. Eventually one learns how difficult our lives are, we make the best decisions we can at the time we make them and learn to accept and love ourselves whatever choices we have made.
I was surprised when I saw the picture - a celebrity who shows up a little more „easy“. I do not care about age, I do not care about work done or not but it gives me a feeling of freedom that I can go out of the house with lipstick only😎
I just found you and I love your philosophy ❤
Thank you! Glad you're here!
As a 28 year old.. I mostly see the nice things about your face. You look really young, like begin - mid 30s. I love your green eyes. Social media is weird..
She wanted to become relevant again. She’s a smart woman! And pretty. She did something to get noticed! And now she wears some make up again. But it looks nice. And yes she has had work done and fillers. But who cares! I wish celebrities would be more honest about it but that’s ok too. She’s also allowed to live her life and enjoy it.
I have such light colored eyebrows and I will not go out without adding some color. It's as if they are invisible. They definitely frame my face when colored in. BIG difference...
Eyebrows give me life! 😅
I wear makeup to make myself feel better. I do it for me. If that little thing can affect my mood, my self esteem then all the better. Its an investment in me. And if a few minutes can so drastically affect me so I dont feel invisible then its worth it.
I love makeup!
I would love to see Pam Anderson with full eyebrows 😏
Thanks for this discussion! 🎉
You can have eyebrows tattooed, blush lips semi permanent, even eye liner . Can be classed at makeup free .
I too think it is great for her to go "make-up free" which is partially true, and a huge departure from her previous way of presenting herself! She still does wear some make-up and love that she is wearing so much less, and is beautiful.
Me too!
I’m 69 and I am retired so I don’t go out much. I have great skin and good skin care but lipstick is the only thing that I do every day now ,when I go out to lunch or wherever I’m going, I put make up on, but it’s very minimal and clean 😊 I think when you get older, it looks better if you were less, I love the fact that Pamela made the bold move not to wear make up!
Yes I think it does send a good message
When I think about the pros and cons of this being a cultural topic, I really only see pros moving forward.
I got such a giggle out of you saying you will never go out without your eyebrows!!!
You are such a fascinating woman!
I'm 60 and don't play into that, I got old, crap. Where I grew up, every ache and pain was about, It's old age creeping in. I believe that sets anyone up because our words have power, our speech comes out of our beliefs and remain beliefs as long as we are willing to let them. I often don't wear makeup, but I'm starting to. Just a little. If someone wears makeup or not doesn't really even cross my mind. Do. you.
Trust me at 60 you'll like a bit of makeup. A little sparkle goes a long way to brighten your day ...and face. But I do find foundation aging at this age but using a glow enhancer is pretty nice. You are spot on about knowing your colors. Life changing
What a champion you are! Thanks for fighting for what you believe and for the rights of women (and everyone) to do what pleases them. I love the coffee shop story. I think you're an innovative, energetic, fountain of creativity. I love your fun videos and appreciate this one for the lesson it provides. Thank you!
Thank you for hanging out with me! Glad you enjoyed this.
When you are older...less makeup makes you look younger and fresher.
That was a fun honest and bold conversation, I appreciate you, so much! I'll be 62 this October and I haven't worn makeup in 6 years, mind you, I love makeup and still buy it, funny thing is... I still don't wear it! I need eyebrows and don't apply them, I love lip color and only wear a moisture balm, I adore eye shadow but just don't bother anymore. I guess I'm quite happy with my face, or else I would use my makeup, so funny, huh?
Wow, you must simply be... happy?! 😁
Totally agree with you xxx
Love ❤️ this. Brava!!!🎉
❤ you're wise and beautiful
😘
I look awful without makeup (57) saggy skin, butterfly mask, dark eye circles, I can’t afford all the beauty treatments and to be perfectly frank, the last few years not only can’t I be bothered to wear makeup I hate the feel of it now. So I brave it without makeup.
Agree 100%
I love this for Pam and for us all. Big mad at the haters.
Just saw Pam at the MetGala…….wearing makeup!!
Couldn't agree more!
yes.
I've been makeup free most of my life. Most of that is due to my complexion- a medium olive complexion with strong eyebrows & eyelashes. When I would go out dancing then I'd have some lipstick and eyeliner & people would react to me like I really did myself up. Now that I'm in my 60's, I'm starting to consider some makeup- a bit of blush, lip color and mascara.
I think it was a brave thing to do in an industry that is so prejudice to women in general! Yah she has money to do what she wants to her face. We need to all move forward to accept ourselves do the best with what god gave us and forgot being judged! Live your life🦋
