Being a makeup artist…….Have you ever wondered what Barbie would look like without makeup?
I think almost every girl (and some guys) had a Barbie in their lifetime.
I remember my first one. It was when Mattel first came out with them in the March of 1959.

Here she is….. “in her most natural, makeup-free state—with freckles, under-eye circles, frizzy hair, acne, and braces.
It’s not the first time the 54-year-old’s looks have caused controversy. Although she has an impressive resume (holding myriad jobs from paratrooper, nurse, and even astronaut), owns her own property, and has been in a committed relationship with Ken for over 50 years (save for that short-lived breakup), it’s her flat stomach, perky breasts, and flaxen hair that have been the subject of scrutiny since 1959 when she first debuted in stores. Long criticized for her unattainable proportions—in real life, her measurements would translate to a six-foot tall woman with a 39″ bust, 18″ waist, and 33″ hips—she’s been blamed on a global scale for everything from eating disorders (according to The Washington Post, “Sleepover Barbie” came with a bathroom scale) and discouraging girls from education (In 1992, “Teen Talk Barbie” said things like, “Math class is tough”). She has evolved herself accordingly, gaining weight in her waist throughout the years.
Barbie has experimented with styles before (tattoos, motorcycle jackets) and even shaved her head in 2012 to appeal to children dealing with hair loss, but her new natural look may be the closet she’s gotten to resembling a real person (at least in the morning).”
