Sad reason why Pamela Anderson stopped wearing make up

Pamela Anderson's “act of courage and rebellion” for showing up bare-face at various Paris Fashion Week events last week actually has a sad backstory. 

The former Baywatch actress, 56, spoke about her bold new look with Elle Magazine, revealing the reason why she decided to show up with no makeup - and it's not to start a natural beauty revolution. 

Pamela's longtime makeup artist, Alex Vogel, died of breast cancer in April 2019, and what better way to honour her. 

“She was the best,” Pamela said. 

“And since then, I just felt, without Alexis, it’s just better for me not to wear makeup.”

Her make-up artist's passing was the key motivator for the actress to embrace her natural appearance. 

She told the outlet that after so many years as a glamorous Hollywood bombshell, it felt “freeing, and fun, and a little rebellious too.

"Because I did notice that there were all these people doing big makeup looks, and it’s just like me to go against the grain and do the opposite of what everyone’s doing,” she added. 

“I think we all start looking a little funny when we get older. And I’m kind of laughing at myself when I look at the mirror. I go, ‘Wow, this is really … what’s happening to me?’ It’s a journey.”
