In a world where celebrities rarely appear without a filter or a full face of glam, media personality and businesswoman Bonang Matheba recently broke the mould.
She shared a candid, makeup-free video that immediately captivated her millions of followers, putting her natural, flawless glow front and centre.
The clip quickly went viral, with fans praising the star’s radiant complexion.
The 38-year-old used the opportunity to share the importance of an effective skincare routine, showing off the noticeable results of her self-care philosophy.
In the video, the Queen B of South African entertainment passionately urged her followers to prioritise their skin, advising, “Ladies invest in yourself. Invest in your skin,” and suggesting that "the earlier you start, the better."
She gave a specific highlight to the hydrating serum, a part of the L'Oréal Revitalift range, for contributing to her visible glow, noting that she appreciates that it leaves “No stickiness at all. Just beauty.”
While the video is clearly an ad for the product, the real focus remains on Bonang's naturally stunning skin..The overwhelming response to her bare face proved that fans are deeply invested in seeing a more authentic side of the star.
One X user, Miranda Presley, passionately defended Bonang’s natural look, tweeting: "I love it when people comfort themselves and support each other in their delusion that Bonang is not pretty without makeup. Bonang is a real pretty girl please."
Another user, @gomolemoDibeco, simply commented, "Bonang looks so stunning without makeup. Her skin is flawless."
“Bonang is beautiful with or without makeup,” wrote @Busi83246393678.
The praise underscores a growing public appetite for more genuine and relatable celebrity content.
This is not the first time Bonang has shown off her natural beauty; glimpses of her makeup-free face have always caused a stir.
Bonang’s advocacy for the product is part of her larger, established professional relationship with L'Oréal Paris.
This association extends beyond social media campaigns; she has taken on prominent roles, including hosting the world-record-breaking "World's Biggest Makeup Masterclass" with the brand and walking in their prestigious "Le Défilé" and "Walk Your Worth" fashion shows internationally and locally.
Ultimately, Bonang's willingness to go bare-faced is a powerful move, reminding everyone that while makeup is an art form, true confidence and beauty shine from a foundation of self-care.
