A while back, Talent Management asked our models whether they’d dare to bare all for a modelling job. We had a great response and read lots of positive, confidence-filled comments with the vast majority of you willing to get your make-up free faces out for the camera.

But, being paid to model bare-faced for a quick shoot is one thing, now we want to know whether you’d be willing to do it all day for charity?

Tomorrow, BBC Children in Need launches its first ever ‘BearFaced Day’ campaign, which encourages women across the UK to go without make up to help raise money for disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.

We’re happy to see that a whole host of models, including Heidi Klum, Jodie Kidd, Tuuli Shipster and Abbey Clancy, have already got behind the campaign, having taken part in a make-up free photo shoot by top photographer Rankin.

The professional models have also been joined by internationally renowned celebrities including media personality Louise Redknapp, TV presenters Caroline Flack and Julia Bradbury, journalist and current affairs presenter Sian Williams, and world-renowned singer Lulu.

Here’s what the brave ladies said about modelling for the campaign…

Julia Bradbury

“Embracing the unexpected is something I do regularly with my job – from shoots across the country to adventures in far-flung destinations, so I when I heard about the BBC Children in Need BearFaced campaign, I thought why not? It was very refreshing not to wear make-up for a photo I know will be seen by quite a few people ….and hopefully it will encourage women to do the same on the day and raise much deserved funds. Be bear faced and proud ladies.”

Heidi Klum

“I am so proud to be taking part in this year’s BBC Children in Need BearFaced campaign. Having worked in the fashion industry for a number of years, I am a firm believer of encouraging women’s empowerment, and what a better way to do so than supporting such a fantastic charity.”

Caroline Flack

“I was honoured to be asked to get involved in supporting BBC Children In Need’s BearFaced campaign. While I was initially apprehensive to bare all at the shoot it was a great experience. I hope everyone digs deep this year to support this incredible charity.”

Sian Williams

“Make-up artists have used their skill to make me presentable to read the television news for the past fifteen years. Getting involved with Children in Need’s BearFaced Campaign was great fun and I was in safe hands with the photo-shoot. And this is what a 47 year old mother of four looks like without the powder and paint.”

Lulu

“Today, beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and ages so I am proud to dare to bare to help raise money for the amazing BBC Children in Need’s BearFaced Day campaign!”

Louise Redknapp

“The work BBC Children in Need carry out is so vital and so I was really pleased to be involved in the BearFaced Day campaign. Being able to encourage women to be empowered and confident is something I am so passionate about. Going BearFaced is a really simple way to raise money for a great cause.”

Abbey Clancy

“I love BBC Children in Need and was so happy to go BearFaced and lend my support to this year’s campaign. I hope women all across the UK will go BearFaced on November the 9th and help BBC Children in Need break another record this year!”

Jodie Kidd

“When I heard that Rankin was going to be behind the lens at the BBC Children in Need BareFaced campaign, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. This is such a brilliant campaign that really will help change young lives and as a Mum I was thrilled to be a part of it. I hope the UK’s women will be inspired to be brave and to be BearFaced as every penny donated to BBC Children in Need will go straight to a child who needs it most”

The girls at Talent Management are also big fans of this new campaign’s concept – not only is it a fun, simple way to get involved with this year’s Children in Need and help raise as much money as possible, but the make-up free shoot also highlights just how striking natural beauty can be. We hope women across the UK will be as confident as these ladies and dare to bare their real selves tomorrow!
