Drew Barrymore and Kristen Bell Remove Makeup, Hair Extensions During Candid TV Interview
A candid television moment
Barrymore, 51, and Bell, 46, reunited on the talk show and took off their makeup and hair extensions during the Monday, October 26 episode. Their conversation focused on beauty expectations and social media.
Bell said Barrymore inspired her to suggest the idea, explaining that she could not imagine doing it on another talk show. She said the setting made the candid moment possible.
Makeup as creative expression
Bell said she began thinking about how to frame beauty choices when her daughters wanted to experiment with makeup and their appearance. She described makeup, dressing and fashion as forms of creativity rather than concealment.
Bell said she hopes people understand makeup is not mandatory. She added that she does not put on a full face of makeup just to post a photo on social media, and wants girls to feel comfortable appearing without it.
Teaching confidence at home
Bell has two daughters, Lincoln and Delta, with her husband, Dax Shepard. She said Shepard supports their children’s choices about beauty and is better at that support than she is.
Bell said the girls are 11 and 13, and that their family has not faced anything extreme. She emphasized helping them build internal validation instead of relying on external approval, while acknowledging she does not know what choices they will make as they grow.
