Christina Aguilera’s “stripped back” look showcasing her freckles on the cover of Paper Magazine.
Why It Works:
The singer is known for constantly changing look, but despite this, her latest minimal aesthetic showcasing her skin and freckles seems refreshingly new.
But don’t get too used to it as she told Paper Magazine: “I mean, I’m a girl that likes a beat face, let’s not get it twisted”.
Also Spotted On:
Future royal, Meghan Markle previously told Allure magazine that her pet peeve is “when my skin tone is changed and my freckles are airbrushed out of a photo shoot.”
Kesha has also been seen recently uploading selfies with a ‘no makeup makeup look’, which celebrate her freckles.
