And no makeup is a big thing because I love makeup.
So that’s me.
More recently, Trachtenberg has posted a lot of bare-faced selfies on Instagram.
Here is a breakdown of 14 of her no-makeup selfies.
In December 2023, Michelle Trachtenberg took to Instagram with a bare-faced photo.
And this wasn’tthe “no-makeup” makeup look.
Rather, this was an actual no-makeup look.
“One of my best friends dared me to take a selfie with no makeup being dramatic!”
“What do you think?
Saying ‘still’ before any fake comment is so pathetic.
I’m 38 years old and grateful.
Get a calendar #blueeyes.”
If anyone was hating on her appearance, this stunning photo should certainly shut them down.
Theformer child star looksfab as can be.
“May I be honest.
You simply look younger without makeup.
And most importantly, you seem happier too,” one IG user commented.
Another person said, “Yeah that’s it, show off that natural beauty girl!”
This dare would not be the last time she rocked a no-makeup vibe on IG.
“It’s good to be #natural,” she wrote.
Fans took to the comment section to celebrate her casual, pared-down look.
One person replied, “Yes it is!
You look beautiful.”
Another wrote, “Preach!
Who has time or energy for a full face?”
This is a natural 38 year old woman not faking flawless features," they wrote.
In February 2024, she shared another casual selfie she snapped while hanging out outside.
In the photo, some of Trachtenberg’s blonde roots were visible.
“Sometimes I forget I’m a #natural #blonde … #nomakeupselfie,” she wrote.
In her early movies, her blonde streaks are more noticeable, such as in “EuroTrip.”
(Remember that iconic scene where she flipped her gorgeous locks around on the beach?
That moment still gives major hair inspiration.)
She added, “I feel sexier when I’m dark!
I love how darker hair brings out my eyes and also complements my pale skin.”
She posted said pic on Instagram and wrote, “#facts.”
In the pic, Trachtenberg once again rocked a bare-faced look.
R u ok?"
Trachtenberg was quick to shut it down.
“Explain to me how I look sick,” she replied.
“Did you lose a calendar and not realize I’m not 14.
How sad for you to leave such a comment.”
In the snap, Michelle Trachtenberg swapped out graphic tees with bare decolletage and a simple necklace.
“#throwbackthursday to ten minutes ago, when I attempted to get off the couch.
Update: I am still.
A number of IG users showered the “Gossip Girl” alum with praise in the comment section.
One person remarked that she reminded them of Liv Tyler, while others called her “gorgeous.”
“She hasn’t aged since 17 again and ice princess like wtf ?
While wearing a sweatshirt that read “Are you f**king kidding me?”
in enormous block letters, the actor looked directly into the lens and posed.
The post was a hit with her followers.
“Michelle you are so gorgeous like you always were,” one person wrote.
“Just ignore the haters honey.”
Regarding the question across the front of the sweatshirt, another person shared, “A daily phrase.”
In it, she showed off her Louis Vuitton phone case and some sparkly rings.
She also appeared to be not wearing any makeup.
“Just a #warhol girl living in a #harrypotter world,” she wrote.
Naturally, many IG users took to the comment section to address her love of Harry Potter.
There really is nothing like seeing your favorite childhood stars all grown up and thriving.
“I’ll always LOVE Georgina Sparks and Dawn Summers!”
Another added, “You look amazing !
Take care of yourself and never let anybody put you down.”
“Baby it’s cold outside!”
A few days later, she uploaded anotherwindswept selfiewhile wearing a different pair of big sparkly shades.
“My hair is giving you vibes!”
Her fans, of course, were all for this aesthetic and who could blame them?
“Long hair is the best kind of vibes,” one commented.
(A wise move, assleeping in makeup can be tough on your face.)
Trachtenberg definitely wins an award for some extremely cute names for her kitties.
Michelle Trachtenberg stayed ‘incognito’ sans makeup
Nothing like a little sunshine to get the day going.
She also appeared to be without any makeup.
Or, as she put it, “Incognito #ny.”
“Hey Harriet, are you on a spy mission?”
asked one of her followers.
Understandably, “Harriet the Spy” holds a special place in Trachtenberg’s heart.
I also have the original book by Louise Fitzhugh on my desk to always inspire me.
My love of writing came from reading and being Harriet the Spy.
Writing changes people’s worlds.”
The Brooklyn-born actor is certainly giving some undercover spy energy in her cap and sunglasses in this selfie.
However, when she posts a makeup-free selfie with one of her cats?
It’s an entirely different ball game.
In February 2024, she shared a super cute pic she took with one of her cats.
In the selfie, Mister Winston was front and center, and she peeked out from behind him.
“Starlight Starbright, Sir Winston makes his wish tonight!
#cat #sweetdreams,” she wrote.
Unsurprisingly, her followers were all about the closeup shot of her cat.
One person commented, “I absolutely love that you’re a cat person!”
Another called Winston “iconic.”
You know I have photo approval.”
