Here's What Britney Spears Looks Like Without Makeup

Britney Spears is known for her love of her fans, her music, and maybe even her eyeliner. In fact, many fans have noticed that a day doesn't go by that Spears isn't wearing her signature dark eyeliner, whether it's in one of her dance clips on Instagram or at a red carpet event. Even in a lot of Spears' supposed "no makeup selfies" on Instagram, it's clear as day that she considers her eyeliner and mascara routine as part of her natural look.

Back in 2018, the "Born to Make You Happy" songstress told Vogue that she's someone who likes to experiment, especially when it comes to beauty and style. In other words, she doesn't follow the trends, but likes to make up her own. "I like to use mascara but for a show I'll darken it up. I think it's fun to use different pale shades and pinks in eyeshadows. I like a kind of gothic look in most situations but I think it's better to use light colors to open up your eyes," she said.

Because Spears is almost always rocking heavy eye makeup, a lot of people find her real "no makeup" look to be quite surprising. To see how she looks without makeup, keep scrolling.

Britney Spears has spent most of her life in front of a camera or on stage, so it's no surprise that she always wants to look picture perfect. But now that the chart topper is semi-retired, or at least reportedly waiting for her conservatorship to end before she performs again, Spears has been spending a lot of time at home realizing that she doesn't need a glam squad for every waking hour of the day.

Back in 2020, Spears shared an Instagram photo of her version of the no makeup selfie. In the picture, Spears has her hair pulled back, is wearing one of her signature chokers and peasant tops, and is pouting into the camera. The singer also shared her new philosophy of how less is more when it comes to her makeup routine. She wrote, "Who would have thunk it ?!?! After all this time in my life I'm just now learning that no makeup is the way to go .... I mean .... a little makeup is fun but after spending so much time in hair and makeup chairs to look flawless .... I think a natural look is the way to go .... it makes you look waaaay younger and so much better." She added, "Pssss YES .... I know I'm wearing mascara in this."

However, Spears hasn't always been this blessed with flawless skin.

In 2020, Britney Spears recalled a moment during the early years of her career in which she wasn't as confident about her skin and putting her best face forward as she is today. Just like many of the fans who have followed and supported her since the early aughts, Spears said that she struggled with acne. However, her issues began during her first feature film, "Crossroads."

Spears took to her Instagram account to recall the time in her life. "When I was younger I never really had an acne problem until I did my first movie ... I was so nervous to be on camera so I went to the dermatologist for stronger skincare products !!! It cleared up quickly after but you have to be careful because prescribed products are very strong !!!! I remember waking up and saying wow it's gone ... now I stay outside a lot and I give the sun credit for lifting my spirits and giving me a natural glow !!!!!" she said. 

Spears might not be a dermatologist or skin care expert, but if there's one thing her fans can give her credit for, it's being honest.
