FRIENDS star ditches her makeup

Jennifer Aniston ditched her make-up for her upcoming movie, Cake – and to her fans’ surprise, she’s loving it.
Usually known for rocking lashings of mascara, a faux-tanned bod and that signature blowout, the 45-year-old former Friends star has boasted about her barefaced look, saying she was totally down to go make-up free for the new indie flick.
Speaking at a Deadline panel about the role – which sees her play a very unglamorous woman – the actress insisted that forgoing her usual beauty look was surprisingly "so fabulous — so dreamy and empowering and liberating."
Referring to her character’s injuries following a car crash, she happily said “the only time I had to sit in the makeup chair was just for the scars."
Of course, as the face of Aveeno skincare (apparently, she swears by their Daily Moisturising Lotion), Jen certainly can pull off a barefaced beauty look.
In fact, this isn’t the first time the bronzed beauty has championed it, getting on the make-up free selfie social media bandwagon last year.
While I’m impressed at the actress’ commitment to her role, I just hope she keeps wowing us with stunning make-up and hair ‘dos on the red carpet!

Gotta love Jen! She looks great all the time i think - some weekends I will go make-up free or just minimal makeup, just to let my skin breath a bit.

she does not need makeup, but those weird lights on the screen and stage require some paint on. Personally, i wear only mascara on occasions (when going out), lip butter once a month if that, recently do moisturizer daily. all natural most of the time

She is very brave to do that at her age with the whole world pretty much watching her on the big screen. Go Jen! I go makeup free heaps! But prefer it when I go out, plus it's just more fun to wear and play with. :D

Good on her for doing this. It's great to see celebrities looking all natural. I go make up free occasionally. Especially if I'm only stepping out for a short time or not going anywhere special

Good for her. Jen is one of the 90's and 00's stars who was known for collecting a following of fans for her every stylish move so I see her choices as well-considered.

I wear make up when I go to work. I try not to wear it on the weekends if I'm not going out anywhere or just spending the day at home I don't wear it.

When I was younger I would never venture out with at least mascara and lipgloss. As I have aged, I have got better and have been the shops with just moisturiser. Good on Jen.......but she looks great without make-up anyways.

Of all the comments which say she looks amazing without makeup, I don't think they read the article: she's made a movie in which she doesn't wear makeup! It doesn't say that the photo above is of her without makeup. She's clearly wearing makeup in that pic.

I love wearing makeup, but also love days where my only 'makeup' is my favourite lip balm.

Not sure if it's great genes or excellent skin care (probably a combination) but if my skin looked like Jen's, I'd go makeup free all the time!

If only my dark circles didn't make me look like a zombie. If I don't put concealer on, everyone asks me if I'm sick :/
