Make-up free Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson has appeared make-up free on the cover of Marie Claire magazine.

The 29-year-old star – who came under heavy criticism for gaining weight last year – did the cover shoot, which is also free from retouching, in an effort to challenge pre-conceived notions of beauty.

She said: ‘I don’t have anything to prove anymore. What other people think of me is not my business.’

However, the sexy singer, who recently fronted ‘The Price of Beauty’ – a documentary following Jessica as she tries bizarre beauty treatments across the world – did admit she would still get dressed up when she felt she wanted to.

She said: ‘If I’m in a mood to go out and feel hot and sexy, I want long hair that I can feel on my back. But I also like bed head.’

She said: ‘There’s always something that I’ve wanted to fix because there’s always somebody who looks better; that’s

‘So I think the journey really was finding what was beautiful inside of me and knowing that it’s unique and rare. And it was a very powerful journey. It has definitely changed my life.’
