Pamela Anderson’s ‘powerful’ beauty bag to go bare-faced at 58

“As a makeup artist, I love what Pamela is doing,” Laurretta Power, professional makeup artist, tells HELLO!. “Her makeup-free look isn’t anti-makeup; it’s about confidence and choice. She looks amazing because she’s comfortable in her own skin, and that really shows,” she quipped.

“I adore full glam and the creativity of makeup, but this is a great reminder that beauty doesn’t have rules; sometimes it’s bold, sometimes it’s minimal, and both can be just as powerful.”

When it comes to going foundation-free like Pamela, Laurretta knows that this is something many women worry about, which is why she recommends a light foundation if you can’t face a naked visage. “For a skin-like base, I love using ‘The Foundation Drops’ by Victoria Beckham Beauty,” she advises. “I would say it’s a serum-light foundation that evens out the face whilst still letting it look like skin. It’s fresh, radiant and never heavy.”

Although the mother-of-two is often photographed with nothing on her face, she does sometimes add delicate touches of subtle makeup. However, the overall look is so discreet, it’s almost unnoticeable. At the Golden Globes 2026, she sported a flesh-coloured eyeshadow, a hint of mascara, a dab of peachy-toned cream blush and a delicate dusting of lip gloss.

In 2023, when she appeared in a ‘Get Ready With Me’ video for French Vogue, she said, “I didn’t come to Paris Fashion Week and think I’m not going to wear any makeup, but something sort of came over me. I was dressing in these beautiful clothes, and I thought I don’t want to compete with the clothes. I’m not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room. I feel like it’s freedom, it’s a relief.”

Pamela then proceeded to apply her own homemade rose oil to her face and lips, and a tiny flick of mascara, which was by Hourglass. Known as the ‘Caution Extreme Lash Mascara’, it boasts a 4D brush that is known to grab every lash.

Pamela also told British Vogue the same year that she had an SPF regret. “I should have used more sunscreen when I was little,” she reminisced in the publication’s ‘What’s in my Bag’ video. “I counted all my freckles the other day, I have like 137 just on my nose.” Pamela held up the Summer Fridays ‘ShadeDrops’ Mineral Milk Sunscreen, which is known to be reef-friendly and has a sun protection factor of 30.

Since then, Pamela has gone on to co-found Sonsie, a vegan and cruelty-free company, which stands for “simplified ingredient lists and straightforward formulas”. It’s free from sulphates, phthalates, parabens, or silicone – a must-have for the clean beauty fan.

Pamela has done countless tutorials featuring all the products, including the ‘Super Serum’, which was created to be worn as a daily base layer, as it has a slightly iridescent base. This would be great to use in place of foundation to add a youthful, dewy finish.
