We're used to celebrities getting ready with an entire glam squad before any big event, but thanks to the likes of Alicia Keys, more and more are bucking the heavy makeup trend and embracing their bare faced beauty. From collecting their best actress Oscar, to sitting front row at Paris fashion week and walking the Grammy's red carpet, here are the celebrities that did all that and more without any makeup.

Frances McDormand won best actress at the 2018 Academy Awards for her role in Three Billboards and if you couldn't tell by her acceptance speech (she asked every female nominee to stand with her), she's not one to follow the crowd. We couldn't love her more for choosing to go completely bare faced to the biggest event in Hollywood's calendar.

Paris Jackson is not here for your beauty standards, especially your ones about body hair removal. Proving that she practices what she preaches, she turned up to People's 'Ones to Watch' event without a slap of makeup and with eyes that blue, who needs it.

We are gonna hold Alicia Keys single handedly responsible for empowering more and more women to go makeup free, pictured here at the 2018 Grammy Awards. Writing for Lenny Letter, Alicia revealed why she has stopped wearing makeup altogether: "Every time I left the house, I would be worried if I didn't put on makeup: What if someone wanted a picture?? What if they POSTED it??? These were the insecure, superficial, but honest thoughts I was thinking. And all of it, one way or another, was based too much on what other people thought of me."

As if we couldn't love Ashley Graham any more, she turned up to Rihanna's 2017 Puma Fenty show looking so fresh faced we wanted to grab for our makeup wipes immediately.

So technically not a red carpet, but Kim turned up to Balenciaga's 2017 Paris fashion show without any makeup. Kim is famous for her makeup looks and line but with a face like that, we would probably never wear foundation again.

Back in 2017, Ciara had bigger things to worry about (like the birth of her child) so we couldn't applaud her any more for skipping the makeup for this red carpet appearance.

Jennifer Garner has the kind of bone structure we can only dream of. Sadly our Dairy Milk habit means we will never get those cheekbones, or jaw line which makes Jen so naturally beautiful.
