“I love not wearing makeup” - Justin Verlander's wife Kate Upton once revealed her embrace of natural beauty during her post-pregnancy melasma phase
Despite being a well-known model, Justin Verlander's wife Kate Upton is an advocate of embracing natural beauty and going make-up-free.
After Upton gave birth to Genevieve on Nov. 7, 2018, she suffered from melasma, a condition in which patches appear on the face. In an interview with People's magazine in 2021, Upton gave her take on a make-up-free look.
She also acknowledged how 'nerve-wrecking' it can be for a model to not go for make-up when appearing in front of the camera. She used her 'melasma' condition to reason with her take.
"All of 2020 I was basically makeup-free. And modelling for so long, you always try to be makeup-free in between shoots, because it is the best thing for your skin. I love not wearing makeup," Upton said.
"But not having make up for a shoot is always a little nerve-wracking, especially since after pregnancy. I am on a struggle bus with melasma."
Upton also mentioned that she loves her own make-up-free version more.
“You know what, I love it (melasma). Its brought me my beautiful baby girl (daughter Genevieve)," she added.
"I think being makeup-free stands for loving myself how I am. I do love makeup and I wear makeup, but I appreciate what being makeup-free means."
