Summary
- Actresses removed makeup and extensions during a live TV interview.
- Bell shared beauty advice with her daughters about creativity.
- Daughters encouraged to seek internal validation over external.
During an October 26 interview, Kristen Bell and Drew Barrymore surprised viewers by removing their makeup and hair extensions. Bell, appearing with costar Adam Brody to promote Netflix's Nobody Wants This, initiated the candid moment, with Barrymore quickly following suit. This act highlighted a broader conversation about beauty standards and self-acceptance.
Bell reflected on how she began rethinking beauty a few years ago when her daughters, Lincoln and Delta, started experimenting with cosmetics. She taught them that makeup is about "creativity," not "concealment." Bell also noted her husband, Dax Shepard, encourages their daughters to trust their own judgment and develop "internal validation" rather than relying on external approval.
The conversation extended to Bell's views on her children making mistakes, emphasizing that "friction and mistakes provide character and learning experiences." She believes in guiding her daughters while allowing them room to grow and learn from their own experiences. Bell also touched on her personal journey with body image, stating, "I can't give my girls anything I don't already have."
