Olivia Wilde has had quite a transformation over the years. Undoubtedly she is a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood, as her ability to transform into any role, spanning various genres, is unmatched. The “House” alum pushes gender equality and the importance of speaking up for what you want in life and your career, and she’s redefining societal norms along with beauty expectations that are often expected from women within the limelight.
The 38-year-old celebrates her natural beauty in many ways. She frequently posts selfies sans makeup with her children Daisy and Otis, whom she shares with ex-fiancé Jason Sudeikis. She even went completely makeup free for her role in “Motherland.” The “Drinking Buddies” alum admitted to HuffPost in 2015 that going makeup free shouldn’t be considered “brave” or celebrated, rather it should be a well-accepted choice. “It’s so silly. I don’t hear people calling men brave for not wearing foundation.” She later added that Hollywood promotes a “flawless nature” that is not realistic and can hinder self-acceptance.

In an interview with Vogue, she gave fans a front-row seat to her down-to-earth routine, which included the basics — highlighter and eyeliner for her signature look.
