Anderson most recently opened up about sporting less makeup when she was named one ofGlamour’sglobal Women of the Yearthis week.
“I’ve just done it and I’ve played with it,” Anderson told the outlet for a digital cover. “I’ve nothing against makeup, but I felt like it just looked better on me in my 20s than it did now."
“You’re going to hit a crossroads in your 50s, and you go, Am I going to chase youth? Am I going to be miserable? Or am I going to be self-accepting? And it’s a practice," she added. “And it’s hard to say that you’re attempting all this if you’re still doing the red carpets and the covers of magazines plastered in makeup.”
