What the Love Island stars REALLY look like without makeup (spoiler, they’re still gorgeous)
LET’S face it, if we were thrown into a luxury villa with a bunch of hot singletons, we’d want to look our best too.
But while fake tan, taught abs and glam make-up looks are what made these Love Island babes famous, it’s their natural visage and pared back looks that are really making us gush.
Since shooting to fame on the hit ITV dating show, these stunning women have sent shock waves through social media with their near-perfect snaps and glamorous selfies
And while we might be used to bold lip and black-lined eyes, the island ladies are no less beautiful with it all stripped back – and the photos speak for themselves.
From Maura Higgins to Amber Davies, we take a look at what the Love Island babes from years gone by look like without make-up.
And we can’t believe how stunning they really are.
Amber Davis
The brunette beauty recently showed off her natural beauty in a make-up free bikini photo on Instagram.
The 24-year-old posed coyly for the camera as she lay on a cushioned sunlounger on a fenced-off back garden.
But while she posed effortlessly showing off her fit physique, her flawless complexion is the real star of the show.
Followers were floored by the stunning photos, with her Love Island pal Olivia Attwood commenting a string of fire emojis – and it’s not hard to see why.
Maura Higgins
Fans don’t often see this sultry beauty without all the glitz and glamour, but she not long ago shared a rare photo of herself without a glamorous makeover.
In the snap, the Irish beauty rested her head on her hand as she looked directly at the camera – and fans couldn’t help but gush over the stunning look.
The point of the snap was to encourage honesty, confidence and real life on Instagram, and the 30-year-old was praised for the move.
Anna Vakili
We were first introduced to Anna’s perfect pout and smokey eyes back in 2019, where she hardly had a lash out of place while appearing on the show.
But not longer after, in 2020, The Sun set the 30-year-old a challenge – and she appeared in a photoshoot completely bare-faced.
The former pharmacist from Bayswater, West London, said at the time: “People think us Islanders are all about make-up and say we are fake.
“I wear a lot of make-up when I go out – lashes, liner, eyeshadow, contour, the works. But, at the same time, I feel very comfortable without it, too.”

Laura, from Love Island 2018, sent fans wild with a stunning no-makeup selfie this week, and punters were loving her natural look – even though she claimed to be hungover.
Her followers were quick remind the reality babe that she was “beautiful,” as her piercing blue eyes and sweet freckled face dominated the screen.
With her hair loosely tied up and wearing a baggy T-shirt, the Scots star smiled and held a thumbs-up to the camera – and the snap couldn’t be more relatable to us regular folk.
“Excuse the hair, no make up and no filter. #nofiltersundays is my new thing,” she captioned the snap – and we are so ok with that.
Belle Hassan
Appearing on season five of the hit dating show, Belle the blonde bombshell barely puts a foot wrong when it comes to her super glam looks.
But like Anna, the 26-year-old stripped it all back for a photosoot with The Sun, and graced us with her natural beauty, sans make-up.
“When I go out I cake on the make-up. I’m a trained make-up artist, so it’s always been a passion of mine.
“I love smokey eyes, ombre lips, contouring, the works. But people are always saying I wear too much and that I look tacky,” she said at the time.
Harley Brash
This blonde babe from Newcastle graced the villa with her dreamy tan and golden locks, but even without make-up she’s stunning.
Posing in a shoot for The Sun, she said: “You can be in the public eye and not wear lashings of make-up all the time.
“I don’t tend to wear a great deal anyway,though I was terrified of going without so much as a dab of concealer.”
Olivia Attwood

With her pout lips and blonde beach waves, it’s pretty hard for Olivia Attwood not to look good.
So it’s not surprising that even without the iconic red pout and perfect Hollywood waves that the 26-year-old bombshell dominates – as her natural beauty is just as impressive.
Posing in a Calvin Klein knickers set, Olivia had her taught abs and natural visage on full display as she proudly smiled.
Joanna Chimonides
Since leaving the villa, the 22-year-old island babe regularly flaunts her bikini-clad body online – and she barely puts a foot wrong.
Although she says she doesn’t often wear a lot of make-up, leaving the house without any isn’t an option.
So it’s surprising to see this babe strip it all back in the name of transparency.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: “I don’t wear tons of make-up but it’s rare you would see me without any.
“Even if I’m just popping to the supermarket, I put on a little bit of foundation and some mascara. It makes me feel I’m ready to start the day.”
