Drew Barrymore has recently called Pamela Anderson a “pioneer” for her makeup free look.
In a video posted on Instagram on October 21, the Never Been Kissed actress told Pamela, “I really think you own this space. I think you’re the pioneer of what we’re certainly doing here today.”
During an appearance on the latest episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the Baywatch alum explained why she started her makeup free movement.
“Isn’t it freeing? Doesn’t it feel free? I feel free. I mean, it’s taken a while too; I’ve had my little, you know, journey with it, but we all are our own worst critics,” stated Pamela.
The Stacked actress mentioned, “I was at Paris Fashion Week and decided [if] I was just going to a fashion show, I didn’t need to compete with anybody. Like, why am I wasting three hours in a makeup chair when I have these beautiful Vivian Westwood clothes on.”
Pamela continued, “And I didn’t realise anyone would even notice. So then, when people started coming up to me and talking about it, I thought, ‘Well, this is a great message.’ You know, to really peel it back and find out who I was again. I wanted to remember who I was.”
She revealed to Drew and Valerie Bertinelli that she has felt as if she “played characters” her entire life.
“It just hit me a couple of years ago, and I was like, you know, just shaking my head, going, ‘Who am I?’ You know, and that’s when I went home into my garden and started planting things and getting into nature and going back to the trees that knew me since birth,” she pointed out.
Pamela further said, “I bought my grandmother’s property and renovated it, and I just started taking it all back. And then started peeking out without makeup. And then I started realising, ‘Oh, I feel great as me.’”
“I feel so empowered and so free and so excited about life again,” added the model.
