The Leading Ladies Of 9-1-1 Are Stunning Without Makeup

It's no secret that the leading ladies of "9-1-1" are powerful. In the ABC universe, which includes the original show "9-1-1" and the spin-offs "9-1-1: Nashville" and "9-1-1: Lone Star," A-Listers like Angela Bassett, Connie Britton, and Kimberly Williams-Paisley show it's possible to be a strong, brave woman who are saving the world and look gorgeous at the same time. But that's not just true on screen, because we know they're stunners off-screen too.

When they're not on set, our favorite female "9-1-1" stars have proudly ditched makeup to prove they don't need the likes of full-coverage foundation and faux lashes to look stunning. In some cases, they've even spoken candidly about the importance of embracing natural beauty and taking care of themselves to ensure they look and feel their best. "I believe in caring for your skin so you don't have to cover it with makeup," Bassett told People. Britton has shared a similar sentiment, telling Allure, "If I don't have to spend hours dealing with makeup, I'm happy." And this is what they look like without hours in the makeup chair.

Athena Grant-Nash actor Angela Bassett proudly posed without makeup in a gorgeous 2020 Instagram photo, giving us a glimpse of her natural beauty. In the snap, Bassett flashed a smile, which revealed her enviable bone structure. Even without a single drop of foundation, the then 62-year-old's skin looked glowy and youthful. "She ages backwards. I'm so jealous," one fan commented on the snap.

Aisha Hinds doesn't go without makeup on social media very often (this beauty loves a red lip — even at the beach!) but she gave us a glimpse at her bare face on Instagram in 2016. The Hen Wilson actor proudly showed off her natural skin texture as she took a selfie with a "I voted" sticker on the right lens of her glasses. But her eyewear couldn't hide her complexion's gorgeous glow, which gave us glass skin vibes long before it was a trend, or her enviably full lips.

Connie Britton isn't afraid to ditch makeup when she isn't on-screen as Abby Clark. The actor's Instagram comment section was full of praise in 2021 when she showed the world what she looks like when she first gets out of bed in the morning. The star proudly showed her fair skin and freckles as she put one hand over her eye, and her lips were naturally a pretty shade of pink. "You are by far one of the most gorgeous women I have ever seen," one fan commented on the makeup-free photo.

Maddie Buckley-Han actor Jennifer Love Hewitt looks ageless without makeup. She's proven that multiple times by sharing snaps of her bare face on social media over her years in the spotlight. In a series of Instagram selfies posted in 2025, the actor pulled playful faces as she displayed her hydrated, foundation-free skin. She also showed a few fine lines on her forehead and a little darkness under her eyes, which was so refreshing for such a big star. "46 years old. No make up and no filter," the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" star wrote.

Natacha Karam is often made up on "9-1-1: Lone Star," but her makeup-free snaps prove she doesn't need cosmetics to look fresh. In an Instagram Story saved to her Highlights, the "Marjan Marwani" star posed alongside boxing coach after a work-out session with Freddie Roach, which left her complexion a little red. Despite this, she still look fresh faced, with her eyebrows perfectly sculpted and her eyes still bright. The actor looked years younger than her age and almost unrecognizable compared to her character.

Gina Torres, "9-1-1: Lone Star"'s Tommy Vega, has no problem sharing photos and videos online without makeup, and we can totally understand why. In 2025, the actor turned the camera on herself for an Instagram selfie video to show what she looks like without a drop of foundation, mascara, or slick of eyeliner. Torres' enviably smooth skin appeared hydrated without a single dry patch. She also did not have any visible dark circles or bags under her eyes, which may explain why she always looks so youthful.

Jessica Capshaw gave us a look at her au naturel beauty during a treatment in 2024. The actor, who plays Blythe Hart in "9-1-1: Nashville," brought her Instagram followers along as she got a lymphatic drainage massage. Though lymphatic drainage massages probably won't transform her face shape, her skin was glowing with no obvious signs of blemishes or hyperpigmentation. We were totally enviable of the former "Grey's Anatomy" star's full, well-shaped eyebrows and how plump her lips were without lipliner or a plumping gloss.

Kimberly Williams-Paisley is nearly unrecognizable going makeup-free. We saw that in a 2025 Instagram video that showed the "9-1-1: Nashville" Cammie Raleigh star preparing to a meal while dressed comfy and casual. Her eyebrows seemed a little less full than when she's on TV or the red carpet, but her skin looked even and hydrated. Her eyes appeared bright and open without the help of falsies or dark mascara. Williams-Paisley has a refreshing take on beauty, as she told New Beauty she's never had filler. "Your face is a reflection on the life you have lived," she said.

LeAnn Rimes boldly ditched cosmetics on social media. In 2015, the "9-1-1: Nashville" actor (who plays Dixie Bennings) looked years younger than her age as she posed without cosmetics in a snap shared to X. "Posting this no-makeup selfie in support of #buildOn to empower students in need!" she wrote, encouraging her followers to share their own bare face snaps. The singer-turned-actor's skin had a lit from within glow without a single visible blemish or dark spot on her complexion. Even her bare, high-arched brows looked flawless and framed her face.

Liv Tyler, who appeared as Michelle Blake on Season 1 of "9-1-1: Lone Star," happily showed off her natural beauty to fans on social media. Tyler shared a gorgeous Instagram selfie while holding a sprig of blossom over one eye, proving she doesn't need full-coverage foundation for youthful-looking skin. Her lashes were dark and fluttery, while her lips appeared luscious and plump without any dark liner or lipstick. Her youthful glow may have been down to years of good skincare, as Tyler told Into The Gloss, "Since I was a very young teenager, I would collect masks and moisturizers."
