Fans praise Pamela Anderson after she revealed heartbreaking reason for ditching makeup

The Baywatch star has gone au natural for several months

After she first stepped into the spotlight as a Baywatch bombshell in the 90s, Pamela Anderson's legendary thin-browed, smokey-eyed aesthetic quickly went down as one of the most iconic make-up looks in history.

Pairing her heavily-plucked, dark-brown eyebrows and deep grey eyelids with her blonde tresses dragged up into a chic 'hot mess' bun, the get-up was quickly dubbed her signature look.

So much so that, in the last year, a brand new TikTok trend has seen users recreating her famous hairstyle and glueing their bushy eyebrows down to draw on her threaded thin brows.

It therefore came as a surprise to her colossal fan-base last year when the much-loved actress, now 56, started appearing at celebrity events donning a totally bare-face.

That's right, the Canadian-American favourite shocked the beauty industry by rocking up to Paris Fashion Week totally makeup-free.

Spectators were delighted to see the on-screen sensation flaunting her gorgeous glowing skin, and when it came to why she chose to go au natural for the celebrity soiree, she candidly told press at the time that the experience was 'freeing, and fun, and a little rebellious, too'.

"I did notice that there were all these people doing big makeup looks, and it’s just like me to go against the grain and do the opposite of what everyone’s doing," Pamela, 56, explained.

She later went on to admit she'd made the decision to scaled back her signature makeup look after a hugely heartbreaking personal loss.

After losing her close friend and makeup artist, Alexis Vogel, to breast cancer in 2019, Anderson made the decision to leave her iconic look behind.

"She was the best," the mum-of-two shared. "And since then, I just felt, without Alexis, it’s just better for me not to wear makeup."

Since then, the star has rocked an au natural look during several red carpet appearances, and has had heaps of praise hoarded onto her from fans.

After Tyla reported on Pamela's admission about gal pal Alexis' tragic passing, hundreds of compliments to the star became flooding in.

"Wow, she's amazing and so is her story," one gushed on Facebook. "Good for you."

Another went on: "She looks amazing and natural, good for you"

"She looks fantastic!" another continued.

A fourth fan then described her 'beautiful', and two others described her as 'looking great'.
