Madonna Appears to Go Makeup-Free in Her Most Pared-Down Look in Years

Madonna is taking a quick break from all that glam.

In an Instagram video shared on Thursday, Dec. 19, the legendary singer, 66, is seen getting her hair done. The clip features close-up shots of the star, who appears to be wearing little to no makeup.

While there is clearly a filter on the video giving her the appearance of false eyelashes, Madonna seems to have the left rest of her skin bare. She’s also sporting long, blonde hair parted in the middle, and at one point, a hairstylist spritzes it with something.

The music icon doesn’t speak in the clip but has it set to her 2005 track “Like It or Not.”

The star recently hinted that new music might be coming in 2025.

On Monday, Dec. 16, the “Like a Prayer” singer shared a video montage of her and producer Stuart Price in the studio. In the clip, they dance and write together in the clip while Madonna’s boyfriend Akeem Morris, manager Guy Oseary and twin daughters Stella and Estere join her.

“Who wants to hear new music in 2025! 🎄🎹🤶🏻” the star concluded.
