Anyone working in the entertainment field, especially on online platforms, must shine in the eyes of their fans; this seems to have become an unwritten rule. To appear more beautiful, social media stars inevitably need a layer of makeup. This has led many fans to be curious and try to discover their real faces without makeup. Consequently, many issues arise when many inconsiderate individuals express sexism and use derogatory language to defame others. For instance, Neekolul, a famous streamer, had to endure ridicule and harassment for a long time after revealing her true face.
However, there are plenty of cases where, after showing their faces without makeup, these streamers and YouTubers receive praise and affection from their fans. It simply involves sharing daily life habits and is not deserving of criticism. Perhaps for entertainment stars, what makes them beautiful is their contributions to the community, not whether they wear lipstick or not.
Valkyrae Reveals Her Secret for the First Time
Valkyrae had a fantastic year in 2020 as her YouTube channel saw a surge in viewership, resulting in enormous profits. She is one of the most successful female YouTubers in the world, but she is also an ordinary woman with habits just like anyone else.
In mid-2020, she filmed a video sharing with her fans about her appearance without makeup. She talked to her audience about her skincare routine, as well as her diet and eating habits, along with her life philosophy: “I stay true to my tomboy style, and I will always be that way“. While she is very modest when discussing her makeup skills, it cannot be denied that Valkyrae has a very attractive appearance in each of her clips.
After applying foundation and doing her eye makeup, Valkyrae explained to her viewers that she doesn’t like using eyeliner and instead uses black eyeshadow to create a softer effect on her eyes. It only takes 10 minutes a day for her to look lovely and beautiful—that’s Valkyrae’s perspective, and many people agree with that.
Azzy is Beautiful Whether She Wears Makeup or Not
Azzyland, who has over 13 million subscribers on YouTube, made some interesting revelations for her fans during a livestream in 2017. Azzy’s boyfriend, Jordi, gave sweet compliments about her bare face, saying that she is beautiful even without makeup. He then tried checking the makeup tools in Azzy’s bag. Upon seeing the false eyelashes, Jordi remarked, “These are scary!” Perhaps that is also the thought of every guy in the world about makeup, right?
When Azzy showed her bare face to everyone, fans reacted positively, with very affectionate comments like “You still look really beautiful without makeup, not too different from when you are made up, Azzy“, “The best bare face I have ever seen“, “Outstanding!“… It’s needless to say how joyful and happy Azzy was to receive such lovely feedback.
Ldshadowlady Changes the World’s Perception of Makeup
Ldshadowlady, or Lizzie, always captures the attention of her fans while playing games like Minecraft with her husband, Joel, or sharing life perspectives humorously. Lizzie often wears makeup when she streams, with her brightly dyed hair and rosy cheeks, but that doesn’t mean she feels shy about showing her bare face. Lizzie occasionally posts no-makeup selfies on her personal pages like Instagram.
More importantly, Lizzie often discusses how the world still perceives women who wear makeup. In a tweet from 2014, Lizzie expressed her opinion that “there’s no need to wear makeup before entering the classroom or spend too much time putting on makeup in the morning.”
And in an exciting challenge, Lizzie did makeup on Joel—who was her boyfriend at the time. It was a very entertaining livestream. Although Joel looked very funny after being made up, fans reacted very positively, even calling for Lizzie to do Joel’s makeup every day.
