Minnie Driver, 54, praised by fans for sharing make-up free snaps despite admitting she’s ‘pretty vain’

Minnie Driver took to Instagram on Friday to share two rare makeup-free photos with her 357,000 followers.

The 54-year-old actress — who was spotted biking in London this month — skipped foundation and other cosmetics, revealing smooth and glowy skin.

She wrote in the caption, ‘Ok, I’m pretty vain, so posting pictures without a scrap of makeup and un-touched up, are rare.’

The British-American beauty explained, ‘The only reason I’m doing it now is because I’ve been ill, I have felt everyone of my years recently and I’m pretty astonished that my friend Keren can make me look like this: Christmas glow without the 5 mulled wines.’

Addressing celebrity skincare professional Keren Bartov, she wrote, ‘Love you Keren,’ to which Bartov replied, ‘I love you beautiful ❤️.’

Driver’s adoring fans took to the comments to praise her bare-faced selfies, with one writing, ‘Normalize this. I look up to this.’

Others complimented the Beekeeper star’s unfiltered beauty.

Another sent well wishes with a comment that read: ‘I hope you’re on the mend now Minnie, you’re always gorgeous! Extra glowy here though.’

Romeo + Juliet on Broadway star Rachel Zegler also joined the conversation, calling Driver a ‘beauty queen’ and adding a red heart emoji.

In the images, the Hollywood vet wore a tan V-neck cardigan over a white crew neck shirt.

Her long, straight, brunette hair flowed down her back with one side tucked behind her ear. 

She wore small, chunky gold hoop earrings in the snaps. 

Her green eyes sparkled as she stared into the camera.

One picture showed her with a white wall in the background and the other had a brick wall backdrop.

On November 17 Minnie used her Instagram platform to pay tribute to her longtime partner, 45-year-old actor Addison O’Dea.

The silver screen siren wrote, ‘It’s our 6 year anniversary and I have horrible flu. All day long he’s been sticking thermometers in my ear and setting timers for medication and sticking his head round the door and writing me cards and making me food I can’t eat.’

She added, ‘#love #happyanniversary,’ and tagged her beau.

Driver is mother to a single son named Henry, to whom she gave birth in 2008 and whose father’s identity she keeps private.

On their 2023 anniversary, O’Dea wrote in a heartfelt Instagram caption, ‘When I met @driverminnie, I don’t think I had worn shoes in years. Now, I sometimes, ok rarely, look like this,’ referencing a red carpet photo of them.

He continued, ‘She’s a sorceress. It’s not just a facade though, I am really this much more grown up. We go on adventures together, we share a brilliant rascal, have a demented dog, and I still wear flip flops to most everything. 

‘Because this is, as I have discovered, true love: I don’t ever want her to be ‘more like me’ and she does not expect me to be ‘more like her’ — all we expect is for each other to be themselves and show love, grace, respect, and patience. Happy anniversary Minnie, I love you just the way you are.’
