5. Tracee Ellis Ross, 52
Tracee Ellis Ross has always been outspoken about societal standards and causes that she believes in. She’s especially vocal when it pertains to women. Ross has never seemed to make any vows to not wear makeup, but she often posts pictures and videos without it. When it comes to beauty standards, she has stated that she is not so much focused on the exterior of individuals. Instead, the Girlfriends star is concerned about who people are on the inside.
She told Yahoo Style in 2017, “We used to live in a concealer culture, and we’re not there anymore. There’s the culture of perfection that is this manipulated idea that’s not human. And there’s a beauty that comes from within. I’m drawn to this culture of beauty that’s an authentic expression of who people are. It makes me feel something. I get inspired by anything.”
