What Bettina Anderson Looks Like Makeup-Free

Model, socialite, and philanthropist Bettina Anderson was already well-known in certain spheres, but her fame skyrocketed to a national level after she was romantically linked to Donald Trump Jr. in December 2024. And every time they've been spotted together at an event since then, Anderson has put forth a glamorous, meticulously coiffed appearance. This led us to wonder: What's she like in her more casual moments? 

Even when she's posing for a photoshoot or walking the red carpet, Anderson seems to prefer a lighter makeup look than, say, Kimberly Guilfoyle (who arguably has the worst case of "Mar-a-Lago face"). Anderson's natural beauty already does a lot of the heavy lifting, so she uses a light touch of cosmetics to subtly accent features that are already there — like her high cheekbones, soft brows, and infectious smile. It's a refreshing and, dare we say it, inspirational style that will have us digging out our best tips to nail a no-makeup makeup look. And when Anderson skips cosmetics altogether, she doesn't look too different: still beautiful and captivating while enjoying life au naturel.

When Bettina Anderson goes on vacation, she apparently likes to give her skin a break, too. Her holiday selfies often show the socialite enjoying some clean-faced time in the sun — a vibe we can all aspire to. For instance, in November 2018, Anderson showed off her inherent beauty during a trip to the Bahamas. Photos revealed the model lounging in an olive-green swimsuit, with beachy balayage and a fresh complexion. Even without the help of makeup, Anderson looked utterly snatched, her foxy cheekbones and plush Cupid's bow practically stealing the show. She also looked incredibly relaxed and serene — but who wouldn't be, in a tropical paradise?

Anderson takes it similarly easy with the cosmetics when hitting the beach in her own stomping grounds of Palm Beach, Florida. Also in 2018, she took a break from surfing to post a gorgeous no-makeup selfie on Instagram. "Having a seriously good hair day," she teased in the caption, poking fun at her unruly mane, but a few windblown tresses couldn't dim her joyous, natural glow. The even, healthy tan of beach living set off Anderson's flushed pink lips and sparkling-white teeth. Moreover, there wasn't a flaw to be seen on her radiant skin. Let's put it this way: There may be a few red flags in Bettina Anderson's relationship with Donald Trump Jr., but we definitely aren't spotting any red flags in her skincare routine.

Ultimately, what's most charming about Anderson's makeup-free photos is her vibe of authenticity. As she told The Daily Front Row in 2022, "Confidence and a smile are two of the most important things a girl can wear."
