Some things never change. In Pamela Anderson‘s case, however, a lot has. Over the last 30-plus years, the 58-year-old “Baywatch” actress has reinvented herself from the ’90s blond bombshell with arched eyebrows and grungy makeup to the poster woman and spokesperson for the “no makeup, makeup” trend, keeping a completely clean base and bare lips for every major red carpet and public outing.
In Sept. 2023, “The Naked Gun” star declared she would no longer paint her face in products in a bid to embrace her natural visage. But before her makeup-free days, Anderson would dress her eyes in dark, shimmery shadow up to her eyebrow bone, put wispy lash extensions on and overline her lips on top of a nude lip shade. Meanwhile, her bleach blond hair used to be past her shoulders, parted on the side, curled and sometimes pinned in a bird’s nest updo.
Now, Anderson keeps her hair chin-length with bangs shorter than she’s ever had them. That said, her thin, rainbow eyebrows are the same, just not as filled in.
Anderson’s much-preferred glowy base is courtesy of Sonsie, the cruelty-free skin care brand she re-founded with her two sons, Brandon and Dylan, in January 2024, about a year after cofounders Marie von Behrens-Felipe and Roberto A. Felipe originally launched the brand.
