In a January issue of PEOPLE, Curtis recalled going makeup-free and wearing only a sports bra and underwear on thecover ofMoremagazinein 2002.

“I said, ‘I will do it if you do a picture of me with no makeup, no clothes, no styling, no hair, nothing,” Curtis shared. “And then you do me completely dressed up, fully made up, glammed out, and you tell how long it took, how much money it costs, how many people it took to get me to look like that.”

The Oscar winner added that she wanted to showcase the “power of telling the truth.”

“I have been a vocal critic, and we’ll go to my grave with it, that there is a cosmeceutical industrial complex telling women they are not enough without this bulls— idea of face augmentation, fillers, injections, lifts, all of the glow-ups that these women are doing,” she said.

She clarifies that anyone is “free to do whatever the f— they want” when it comes to their appearance, but hopes that people can feel equally empowered without touch-ups.

Curtis has been publicly supportive of her co-star Pamela Anderson’sjourney of going makeup-free, which she kicked off during Paris Fashion Week in September 2023.

“I started sobbing because it’s exactly what we should be doing,” theFreaky Fridayactress said of Anderson, 57. “I respect her so much for it."
