Katie Holmes Remains Stunning Without Makeup

Katie Holmes’ down-to-earth birthday post wasn’t the only time she’s appeared in front of the camera without makeup. Suri Cruise’s mom made a much bolder statement for People’s Most Beautiful issue in 2021. The “Ray Donovan” star posed for a professional photo shoot and gave a candid interview while wearing nothing on her face, aside from what appeared to be hydrating lip balm or gloss. The actor spoke about how she maintains her look without her glam team’s assistance, telling the outlet, “I drink a lot of water and eat as healthy as possible.” She added, “I take care of my skin by cleaning it every morning and evening, wearing a lot of hyaluronic serum and moisturizer and I use Dr. Stern products.” The actor also credited wearing SPF products, even during the winter, for her healthy glow.

Holmes’ beauty routine is clearly working, as even under the harsh studio lights she had smooth, bright, and clear skin that didn’t show any signs of a hyperpigmentation or dryness. She did, however, have slightly darker patches under her eyes, which proved even A-Listers need a little help from cosmetics to brighten their undereyes. But that made this superstar even more relatable and gorgeous. Speaking to People about not feeling the need to layer on the likes of bronzer and eyeliner as she’s gotten older, reluctant style icon Holmes explained, “I embrace my age with gratitude and I don’t worry about not having makeup on.” Looking so stunning without it, we can totally see why Holmes sometimes prefers a low-maintenance day.
