GLAMOUR:How did it feel to be photographed that way?
MK:Fine! I don’t wear makeup. I don’t wash my hair every day. It’s not something that I associate with myself. I commend women who wake up 30, 40 minutes early to put on eyeliner. I think it’s beautiful. I’m just not that person. So to go to a shoot and have my makeup artist put on face cream and send me off to do a photo, I was like, “Well, thismakes life easy.” And you’re still protected. Nobody’s there to make you look bad. Do you watch Game of Thrones?
GLAMOUR:Yes.
MK:Well, it’s not like I’m being scrutinized and made to walk down the street naked while sh-t’s being thrown at me!
The actress's interview also touches on excessive photo editing, a rampant problem in the editorial and advertising industries. Kunis hates the practice, she says, citing previous experience working with a company that she says aggressively manipulated her photo.
Like, what’s the point? You wanted my name, and then you wanted the version of me that I’m not. I absolutely hate it. Now, do I sometimes want them to depuff my eyes? Help me out with a little bit of lighting. But do I want them to stretch my legs, thin out my waist, curve my hips, elongate my neck, blah, blah, blah? No.
Kunis is the latest celebrity to embrace a lack of makeup in an industry that all but demands it. In June, Alicia Keys published an essay in Lenny Letter about inspiring a bare-faced movement after releasing makeup-free photos alongside her 2016 single "In Common."
"The universe was listening to those things I'd promised myself, or maybe I was just finally listening to the universe, but however it goes, that's how this whole #nomakeup thing began," she wrote.
"Once the photo I took with Paola came out as the artwork for my new song 'In Common,' it was that truth that resonated with others who posted #nomakeup selfies in response to this real and raw me."
