• Pamela Anderson showed off her freckles in a bare-faced selfie on Instagram.
  • “It’s never too late… to bloom 🤍,” she captioned the post.
  • The 56-year-old Baywatch star previously opened up about preferring to go makeup-free.

Dark, smokey eyes and glossy lips were part of Pamela Anderson’s signature makeup look in the ’90s. Now, some 30 years later, the former Baywatch star is opting for an all-natural look. In fact, the 56-year-old seems to be doubling down on her recent comments about preferring to go makeup-free, by posting a fresh-faced selfie showing off her freckles.

In the Instagram post, Anderson has tousled hair, a bubbly smile, and radiant skin. She holds a flower petal in one perfectly manicured hand, covering part of her face. “It’s never too late… to bloom 🤍,” she captioned the post.

Fans flooded the comments with compliments and love for her bare-faced snap. One fan wrote, “I love that she’s comfortable being natural. I love that she didn’t wear makeup in her documentary. ❤️.” Another commented, “I love your freckles, Pam!” And another wrote, “The freckles 😍.”

Anderson previously opened up about the switch from her signature dark, sultry makeup to a more natural-looking approach. When her makeup artist, Alexis Vogel, passed away from breast cancer, Anderson felt it was time to go makeup-free. “She was the best,” Anderson told Elle when speaking about Vogel. “And since then, I just felt, without Alexis, it’s just better for me not to wear makeup.”

The star said going bare-faced is “freeing, and fun, and a little rebellious too,” which explains her uptick in makeup-free selfies. In another Instagram post, the star showed a series of photographs with bare skin and her freckles on full display.

“I’d rather show my freckles…It’s fun getting old. It’s a relief. And at a certain age we just look younger and fresher without makeup,” she wrote. “This is me—I’m happy with who I am right now. It’s a new world and I’m very grateful for all of the love.”

Fans love that Anderson keeps it real and embraces her natural self. One fan wrote, “You look so beautiful being your natural self. Always show your freckles ♥.” Fellow celebs cheered Anderson on as well: Singer Michelle Visage commented, “Co-sign. Retweet. Couldn’t agree loud enough! Aging is a gift that many never get to open.” Actress Michelle Pfeiffer wrote, “WOW! Love your freckles!🔥🔥🔥.”
