Though honestly ‘winged liner’ or ‘flawless foundation’ wouldn’t be far behind; if there’s one thing Gwen can do (besides sing circles around most, of course) it’s rock a full face of glam.
But while she no doubt (pun intended) has a great foundation and concealer combo on her side, we have our suspicions that her skin beneath the base is just as gorgeous. And that her features are stunning even without lashings of mascara and lipstick.
So what does Gwen look like after her evening cleanse? Or when she wakes up fresh-faced? We decided to find out. Here are the makeup-free shots she’s shared with us…

Okay, sure, she was technically in the process of putting her face on here, but her pre-glam look is gorgeous nonetheless.
She might have a touch of mascara and balm on, but for our glam girl Gwen no-makeup makeup is practically no makeup by comparison anyway.

Do you love Gwen’s signature glam look? Or love to see her fresh-faced? Or both?
Love her music and she does look good for 50.
Those picks are so washed out (filtered). But yea, we all look better without makeup IMO.
I love Gwen. She is beautiful inside and out. Im glad that she is blissfully happy now.
I strongly suspect she and Jessica Alba are secret clones. They look so much alike (except for the hair, of course).
Gwen Stefani looks Fabulous she looks after her Skin and it shows such beautiful Skin so flawless.
Would like to know what Skincare Products Gwen Stefani uses!
In the top pic I think she looks like Jennifer Garner too! I’ve seen a lot of pictures where I think I’m looking at one celeb but it’s actually another. So weird.
She looks great both ways, but I’ll always be on the red lips & winged liner team.
It’s actually hard to imagine her without a full face of glam!
My first thought was that you wrote Jessica Alba but were thinking of someone else. But in that bottom pic, I can see what you mean!
Her skin looks so flawless, I agree the pics look a bit filtered. She looks beautiful in all of them though, it’s a fun look with the bright lippy but natural is just as good.
She has always looked stunning
I don’t think I’ve ever seen her without makeup, she looks great!
Gwen skin still looks flawless! And younger!
I like her look better without make up! She looks much younger too
Looks younger without makeup! The Jane Iredale lipstick I got from RR order today is a bold red and it is called ‘Gwen’.
She looks so young without any makeup on.
I really like her music.
Shfe looks younger without the make up.
She’s so pretty.
Wow she looks gorgeous
Beautiful lady but I suspect she had help from a plastic surgeon. Isn’t she nearly 50? Where are her wrinkles?
I think she looks better without, over made up in the first picture.
Wow, according to Google she’s 51. She looks so young and gorgeous
She is beautiful indeed, love her red lipstick.
She does too!! Must be the same face shape and the angle of the photo?
I like seeing her both but prefer her natural look really. Makeup is always fun though!
She has beautiful skin and eyes so doesn’t need lipstick but the red lipstickis Wow on her
She looks much younger without makeup.
She rocks that red lipstick . Beautiful..
Don’t worry, I get that too, on occasion. Most celebs are good looking, with regular symmetrical features. Few have funny noses or distinctive strong features.
Definitely similar shape and features. But it’s funny how people see similarities, even if they’re not actually there. I used to work in a department store in California in the late 90s and people used to stare at me and say, “You look like Uma Thurman”, or sometimes they’d say Carolyn Besette Kennedy and I’d think yeah right, I wish. I’d hear the same two names over and over again though so there must have been something there, but I didn’t see it myself.
Her skin is so clear!
ikr!
Oh wow Lucrecia Uma thurman is gorg! Lucky you! All I got was ‘Lulu’ from the other century and I don’t know who she even was! lol
Sorry, but the light exposure is deceiving and it looks like she’s using a very soft lens. I do think she is stunning but in these photos with this lighting anyone would look wrinkle free.
She hasn’t changed much over the years.
Quite a few of these photos are years old and have either great lighting or softeners on the camera.
f you have seen her latest film clip you would see this is still true or she has had a face lift. She is 51yo. Still rocking a great figure.

She looks so different with her natural look
I much prefer her natural look .
She does look way younger than her 51 years, even in more recent photo’s.
Would never believe she was 51. How lucky is she to look so good.
Such a beautiful woman!!!
I can;t see any shots with no makeup on lol, some with less makeup, but not nothing
I like her signature make up! And her songs too.
I do love her made up and with the red lips. I can’t wait to wear the Jane Iredale “Gwen” lipstick which I chose in the last Rewards Room. I am wearing it to work today so will be able to review it in the evening.
51? She looks fab.
She is beautiful. It is hard to recognized her with out makeup.
Classic features and bold make up, yes!
She looks beautiful with and without makeup.
She’s gorgeous either way, but damn that girl can rock a red lip like no other!!
