Actress Shailene Woodley has decided to go without makeup part-time on the red carpets.

The 21-year-old actress explained her decision in Interview Magazine, revealing, “It's important because I saw somebody—what I thought was me—in a magazine once… My stomach was completely flat. My skin was also flawless. But the reality is that… my skin is not flawless and I do have a little bit of a stomach. It was not a proper representation of who I am. I realized that, growing up and looking at magazines, I was comparing myself to images like that—and most of it isn't real.”

Woodley is best known for her role as teen mom Amy Juergens in the ABC show The Secret Life of the American Teenager. She also acted in the 2011 film The Descendants, playing the daughter to George Clooney’s character, according to her IMDb biography.

Woodley admitted to Interview that she does enjoy getting dolled up occasionally, “I do think it's fun sometimes to dress up for the Oscars or for certain events—I get to be like a five-year-old again, wearing my Cinderella dress. But for some events where it's a more casual vibe, I just want to be me.”
