In February, a TikTok troll challenged Angel Reese to post a makeup-free look. The basketball star obliged and uploaded a TikTok of herself sitting in her car with only her bare face. While Reese is usually seen out rocking long lashes, winged eyeshadow, blush and colorful lipstick, she showed a different side of herself wearing zero makeup, long straight hair, and a pimple patch. The athlete also overlayed the clip with dismissive audio. “I have not heard from my opps yet. They have not said a thing,” said the voice. “And even when they talking, it’s like I still don’t hear them.”

Reese also wore minimal makeup during a paid partnership with CoverGirl. In March, the basketball star uploaded a TikTok tutorial showcasing her “no makeup look” to her more than 3.5 million followers. “Hey, guys! I’m about to go out with my friends and I wanna do a no makeup look and just do lip gloss and I love when my lips are popping,” she said. “That’s like my favorite thing. Lashes and lip gloss is all I really need.” Reese then walked fans through the application of her “Yummy” lip gloss by CoverGirl, which is one of her personal staples. “I love when my lips are stained pink, and this like literally does it,” she said. It’s easy to understand where her confidence comes from.
