Millie Bobby Brown has received acclaim for her efforts in “normalizing breakouts” after she posted makeup-free selfies on social media. The 19-year-old Stranger Things actress shared two photos on her Instagram account, one where she was fully made up in front of a mirror and another where she sat in a car with visible zits and blemishes.
Following Millie’s candid update, one of her 63.5 million Instagram followers commented, “thank you for normalizing breakouts,” expressing appreciation for her authenticity. Even Drew Barrymore, her co-star, joined the chorus of praise, saying, “I love keeping it real. You are the greatest.”
Millie Bobby Brown started her own beauty line, Florence By Mills, despite having limited prior experience in the cosmetics industry. She revealed her motivations at an event, saying, “That’s why I created this. I’m going to take you on this journey with me, so we can learn more about botanicals, serums, fruit and vegetable extracts, enzymes. Things that are so important for your skin, but we don’t know about because we’re young.”
