Only a few celebrities can pull off a make-up-free look, and Bonang Matheba is arguably one of them.
The TV and radio personality recently stunned Mzansi by showing off her natural face while preparing for an event.
Bonang Matheba attended the L'Oréal Paris makeup MasterClass 2.0 in Johannesburg over the past weekend, and she let her 5.2 million followers in on the festivities. On Instagram, Bonang wrote:
"We had a TIME!! " she exclaimed. "The @lorealparis Make Up Masterclass 2.0 was INSANE! A big THANK YOU to our Cape Town girlies & boys for joining us. So fun!"

This is the second year B hosted the masterclass, as she first did her thang in October 2024.
Controversial celebrity blogger Musa Khawula posted a video of Bonang prior to the event after she had done her hair.
Although she looked gorgeous, some people argued that she might have masked her true self by using too many filters. Just recently, Tebogo also showed off her makeup-free look, but Mzansi did not like the look.

"She’s super beautiful without makeup. She's pretty damn it doesn't even look like her.
@Dmeseeinglink replied:
"I thought people showed what they looked like with makeup. Now it's the other way around. Normal is no longer the normal, I suppose."

"I would risk it all after that look!"
