Pamela Anderson has been making quite a splash in the media lately, particularly because of her dedication to embracing a more natural look, shunning makeup and high-glamour styles.

Recent reports from people close to the actress reveal that she’s feeling a bit trapped by this image she’s created – as someone who eschews artificial beauty enhancements.

This means she usually says no to makeup and glam, though she’s alright with styling her hair, as long as it’s not over the top. At this year’s Golden Globes, she turned up with a nearly bare-faced look.

Insiders, however, say that she secretly wished she could apply some makeup for the event. Her concern was the possible backlash from fans who expect her to maintain her ‘natural’ look.

The concern revolves around becoming known too well for her all-natural appearance, according to a source.

The former Baywatch icon and ex-Playboy model was accompanied by her beloved son at the awards, a child she had with her former husband, musician Tommy Lee.

The Golden Globes were particularly significant for Anderson this year because she was nominated for the first time in the category of Best Actress in a Drama for her performance in “The Last Showgirl.”

Fans have been encouraging the star to stay true to what really brings her joy, rather than worrying too much about public perceptions. What are your thoughts?
