For more than a year, Pamela Anderson, the 56-year-old American icon, has moved away from the makeup brushes to show a completely natural face, much to the dismay of her two sons and some of her fans. Known for her role in the series Baywatch and her Playboy covers, Pamela has surprised her admirers and her family by giving up the makeup that had long been part of her public image.
The decision has not been without reaction. Her sons, Dylan and Brandon, from her marriage to rock musician Tommy Lee, have not hidden their surprise, even their unease, at this drastic change. Despite their concerns, the Canadian-born actress has stuck with it during public appearances and photo shoots, such as the one for CR Fashion Book, remaining true to her new philosophy.
The death of her makeup artist Alexis Vogel marked a turning point for Pamela. She said in an interview with Elle US that Alexis’s absence encouraged her to adopt a much more understated approach. She now refuses to follow the trend of heavy makeup, making a rare choice in show business, but perhaps one more appropriate for a vegan.
Pamela Anderson does not hide her desire to age naturally. She is not afraid to let her hair go gray after bleaching it for decades, or to go without makeup.
She has bravely put away the former bimbo she was in the 90s, evoking a certain Brigitte Bardot, the 1960s icon and animal lover who remains a role model for her.
