The stars who rock their no makeup looks

1/11

Some of us will never, ever, step out of the house without applying sunscreen first. We’re sure you’re already well aware but in case you’re not sure, UV rays aren’t exactly #BFFs for our skin cells.

And then there are some of us who just refuse to go bareface even when our skin needs off days. This is when problems such as clogged pores, blackheads, dullness and pimples start surfacing.

The following female celebrities you’re about to see are definitely aware that no matter how good their skin conditions are, they still deserve an off day or two (away from makeup pots and potions) so that the skin can take some rest. So, scroll through the gallery and be inspired to give your skin a well-deserved break now!

Shu Qi

2/11

Screen siren and cat lover Shu Qi is renowned for her regal red carpet looks but that doesn’t mean she also puts on a full face of makeup on her off days.

Take a look at the 41-year-old actress’s Instagram and you’ll quickly realise that she’s often seen with little or zero makeup. Now that’s the type of confidence we wish we’ll have!

Anita Yuen

We’ve previously mentioned how actress Anita looks incredibly young for her age, alongside her hubby and colleague Julian Cheung, as well as other ageless celebrities like Fann Wong and Pauline Lan.

Just like Shu Qi, Anita often updates her social media with bare face selfies; even without a trace of makeup, her face still appears fresh and glowy! Wish that your skin can be equally alluring? Consider this skincare range now.

Annie Chen

Ladies, if you’re going off on a vacay soon, take our advice: Try not to put on any makeup when you leave for the airport. Just think about it, all the cleansing that you have to do in a small toilet isn’t the most comfortable thing to do on a plane.

The solution? Follow Taiwanese actress Annie and just go on board without any foundations or concealers. Better still, pack one of these mask sheets into your carry-on and give your skin a little TLC. You’ll arrive at your destination feeling and looking fresh like a daisy.

What does veteran actress Xiang Yun do when she has some free time? She'll spend it by bonding with her family of course!

Jocie Guo

8/11

Because their job involves largely being in front of the cameras, it’s no wonder celebrities have to take serious care of their own skin.

For homegrown singer Jocie, she takes self-care up a notch by living an active lifestyle. With proper skin care, healthy eating habits and regular workouts, your skin is set to become healthier than before!

Tay Kewei

9/11

Local singer and mum-to-be Kewei is now eight months pregnant but we can hardly notice any signs of tiredness from her Instagram photos.

The Project Super Star alumnus first announced her pregnancy back in April 2017. Since then, we’ve been seeing a lot of her blissful photos and videos, including this funny clip showing her and hubby Alfred practicing pilates together.

No matter how busy Kelly may be, she always ensures that she schedules a facial appointment. Her favourite?

The Clear and Brilliant treatment at SkinLab. “My facial treatment was a breeze! Painless, smaller pores, more even skin tone. [I'm] working towards zero white/blackheads and clogged pores!” she shares. Sign us up too!

Song Hye Kyo

11/11

It’s no secret; when it comes to flawless and poreless skin, we’re absolutely envious of the Korean stars. One of whom is none other than actress Song Hye Kyo.

Besides good skincare (she’s the ambassador for Laneige), we believe that being in a blissful relationship with fellow actor and Descendants of the Sun star Song Joong Ki may have helped in keeping her skin in tip top condition.
