Christina Aguilera performs before the NBA All-Star basketball game in New york, Feb. 15, 2015. Frank Franklin II—AP  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Mar 27, 2018 4:52 PM UTC [Christina Aguilera](http://time.com/4713812/vma-2003-britney-photos/) has been in the public eye for a long time. And although she has undergone many transformations — from Disney starlet to pop princess to [“Dirrty” dancer](http://time.com/4551313/christina-aguilera-kylie-jenner-dirrty-halloween-costume/) to glam _Voice_ coach and others — she’s always been known for rocking a strong look in each of her eras. But in a new photo shoot for _Paper_ magazine, the [“Beautiful” singer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAfyFTzZDMM) stripped away her false lashes and bold lips in favor of a bare face (for at least some of the photos, that is; Aguilera still loves to play with makeup). After revealing the magazine cover on Twitter, fans could hardly believe their eyes at her transformation, in which Aguilera had a stunning youthful appearance. She even shows off some freckles. No one realized she had freckles! But more than anything, her followers felt the 37-year-old mom of two has clearly been drinking from the fountain of youth. And with this new look, speculation has already begun about potential new music. After all, the powerhouse vocalist last released an album [in 2012 with _Lotus_](http://time.com/3506322/christina-aguilera-the-voice-season-8/). If this is an indication that Aguilera is ready to come claim her rightful place in the contemporary pop pantheon, then looks like fans are more than eager for it. > [](https://twitter.com/xtina/status/978330945366327296) > [](https://twitter.com/papermagazine/status/978331631474888705) > [](https://twitter.com/BeardedGenius/status/978354367207231488) > [](https://twitter.com/vincevicari/status/978328735106572288) > [](https://twitter.com/Ben%5F2%5F82/status/978513480092471297) > [](https://twitter.com/420thebudmizer/status/978550089714192386) > [](https://twitter.com/MarieFantome/status/978633157640642565) > [](https://twitter.com/augierose2014/status/978389552569225217) > [](https://twitter.com/PrimaDonna80/status/978597251605032960) > [](https://twitter.com/evolelizabeth/status/978416543599128576) > [](https://twitter.com/ira/status/978333270399057920) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5217240/christina-aguilera-no-makeup/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5217240/christina-aguilera-no-makeup/"},"headline":"Christina Aguilera's Timeless New Look Is Cleansing People's Souls","datePublished":"2018-03-27T16:52:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:51:39.517Z","description":"She is beautiful / No matter what they say","url":"https://time.com/5217240/christina-aguilera-no-makeup/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfbdec93dd8bb3159/69887ee8524fc0e7b2df6e48/christina-aguilera-music-performance.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfbdec93dd8bb3159/69887ee8524fc0e7b2df6e48/christina-aguilera-music-performance.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Christina Aguilera","caption":"Christina Aguilera performs before the NBA All-Star basketball game in New york, Feb. 15, 2015.","creditText":"Frank Franklin II—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5217240/christina-aguilera-no-makeup/","name":"Christina Aguilera's Timeless New Look Is Cleansing People's Souls"}}]}] ```
