Pamela Anderson is turning 59 this year and has never looked more gorgeous and youthful. The blonde beauty, who was catapulted to fame in 1989 after being discovered at a football game, has had a real makeup transition over the years, going from glamorous cosmetic lover to being known for sporting a fresh, natural face, free of products.
After spending decades sporting dark eyeshadow, frosted pink lipstick, fake eyelashes, and overlined lips, Pamela shocked the world in 2023 when she arrived at Paris Fashion Week sporting very little makeup. At the Isabel Marant and Vivienne Westwood shows that year, all that could be seen on her face was a flick of mascara and a simple slick of natural gloss, a remarkable contrast from the famously vampy look she was famous for.

Since then, the mother-of-two hasn't looked back, regularly heading to the red carpet sans makeup, sporting a super natural, pared-down look.
The return of the lipliner

However, last week, at the premiere of her new film, Rosebush Pruning, the 58-year-old did a U-turn on her self-imposed beauty rule. The blonde beauty embraced romantic colour-blocking in a structured blush bodice paired with a high-waisted lime green skirt, and a matching flowing cape. But it was her beauty look that stole the show.

Pamela left her mascara at home, and her softly styled platinum hair was as coiffed as ever. But if you look closely, you can see that she had overlined her lips with a '90s, rosebud-toned pink liner, which gave her pout a soft, pillowy look. This appears to have been a temporary decision, as a few hours before, Pamela wore a glorious Carolina Herrera cape dress, and her makeup appeared more natural.

As a beauty editor who has been writing about makeup for over eight years, I felt it was a nostalgic nod to her Baywatch years when the former wife of Tommy Lee always wore lipliner. Created by her then-longtime makeup artist, Alexis Vogel, it was thought to be the MAC Cosmetics lip pencil in 'Spice'.

Lipliner is a great way to make your lips look fuller without injections. Lipliner acts as a physical barrier between the skin and your lips, preventing your lipstick from bleeding and keeping everything looking neat. It can also balance out the shape and build volume, particularly if you draw the line slightly over your natural lip line and apply a subtle gloss to blend it all in.
