Anyone working in entertainment, especially online, is expected to always look flawless to their fans. It’s almost an unwritten rule. To look their best, social media stars usually rely on makeup as a mask. Because of this, many fans get curious and try to see their real faces without makeup. Unfortunately, this sometimes leads to problems when some people show sexist behavior or use rude words to insult others. For example, Neekolul, a popular streamer, faced long-term harassment and hateful comments after revealing her bare face.
Still, there are plenty of cases where streamers and YouTubers get praise and warm support from fans after showing their natural faces. It’s simply sharing everyday habits and shouldn’t be criticized. For entertainment stars, what truly makes them beautiful is what they contribute to the community, not whether they wear lipstick or not.
Valkyrae Opens Up About Her Natural Look
Valkyrae had an amazing 2020 with a huge jump in her YouTube viewership, bringing in massive earnings. She’s one of the most successful female YouTubers worldwide but also just a regular woman with everyday habits like anyone else.
In mid-2020, she posted a video sharing her no-makeup look with fans. She talked about her skincare routine, diet, eating habits, and her outlook on life: “I’m loyal to my tomboy style and always will be.” Though modest about her makeup skills, there’s no denying Valkyrae looks great in every clip.
After applying foundation and eye makeup, she explained to viewers that she doesn’t like using eyeliner, preferring black eyeshadow for a softer effect. It only takes 10 minutes a day to look cute and beautiful, that’s Valkyrae’s take, and many agree.
Azzy Looks Stunning With or Without Makeup
Azzyland, with over 13 million YouTube subscribers, shared some fun moments with fans during a 2017 livestream. Her boyfriend Jordi sweetly complimented her bare face, saying she’s beautiful even without makeup. Then he checked out her makeup kit and, upon seeing false eyelashes, joked, “These things are scary!” Maybe that’s what most guys think about makeup, right?
When Azzy showed her natural face, fans responded with kind comments like “You’re still really beautiful without makeup, not much different,” “The best bare face I’ve ever seen,” and “Amazing!” Needless to say, Azzy was thrilled to get such lovely feedback.
Ldshadowlady Challenges Makeup Norms
Ldshadowlady, or Lizzie, often grabs fans’ attention playing games like Minecraft with her husband Joel or sharing her humorous life views. She usually wears makeup on streams with bright dyed hair and rosy cheeks, but she’s never shy about showing her bare face. Lizzie occasionally posts no-makeup selfies on her Instagram.
More importantly, Lizzie talks openly about how the world views women and makeup. In a 2014 tweet, she said there’s no need to put on makeup before class or spend too much time getting ready in the morning.
In a fun challenge, Lizzie even did Joel’s makeup when he was her boyfriend. The stream was hilarious. Although Joel looked funny with makeup, fans loved it and even asked Lizzie to do his makeup every day.
