Ellen DeGeneres is stripping back and going make-up-free in her latest outing. The talk show host was leaving a gym in Los Angeles in January 2024, and although she was trying to blend in with the crowd with a hat, it was clear that it was DeGeneres. The only thing that made it more difficult to tell whether it was the talk show host or not was the fact that she had no makeup on and was letting her bare skin shine.
Throughout the years, DeGeneres has seemed to change her stance on wearing makeup versus not wearing makeup. In 2008, she was named a CoverGirl spokesperson to endorse their Simply Ageless Foundation, per People. DeGeneres was excited to take on this role, telling the outlet, “I’m thrilled to be a CoverGirl. I’ve been practicing in my bathroom mirror for years … Now finally, you’ll all be able to see it.” Still, even back then, her makeup was more natural.
As time has passed, however, rocking a no-makeup look seems to be when DeGeneres is the most confident and even led her to drop a skincare line called Kind Science. She told E! News, “I feel best in my own skin when my skin feels hydrated and clean and fresh and smooth and bright — all the things Kind Science does to it.” DeGeneres revealed that her confidence exudes when she feels good about her skin. DeGeneres’ latest outing proves just that as she confidently goes makeup-free.
