Doja Cat's No Makeup Looks Cause a Barrage of Public Criticism

Doja Cat's appearances with no makeup on social media meant she looked even more dramatic after she spent part of her Monday in the makeup artist's chair for the Met Gala.

A clean-faced Doja Cat frequently entertains her fans live for hours on Instagram, but not everyone is convinced she should. The singer's larger-than-life online persona made her one of the top Googled musicians in 2020.

The Los Angeles native was born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini on October 21, 1995, to painter Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer and "Sarafina!" actor Dumisani Dlamini.

Doja's No-Makeup Appearance Has Sparked a Barrage of Criticism, but so Have Fans Who Consider Her Clean-Faced to Be Normal

The "Kiss Me More" rapper displays her authentic self and bare skin in her revealing Instagram Live updates. Doja Cat uses the time to connect with her fandom, answering their questions, but is not afraid to hit back at trolls.

In addition to going live without a stitch of visible maquillage, the rapper disregards many standard practices for online videos. During a preview of her upcoming record, "Hellmouth," in April 2023, she recorded from the bottom up, when shooting for a higher angle is considered more flattering.

The high viewership of the feeds and the other makeup-free content draw is evidence that most of her fans appreciate her natural approach, yet a few have expressed dissatisfaction. "Doja Cat ugly as hell without makeup," one tweeted.

A Twitter user got no reaction when expressing this opinion, "Doja Cat is so ugly to me without makeup. I said what I said. Sorry..." While another got a single like when he wrote, "I don't see the Doja Cat hype; she is ugly without makeup."

A certified health ed specialist tweeted that seeing stars like Doja Cat and Kylie Jenner going online without cosmetics makes her feel "normal:"

"Like maybe I'm not ugly. Maybe I'm normal and just haven't been wearing makeup."

Responding to a now-deleted tweet of Doja Cat, a fan said that her fandom loves her and her music, no matter what she looks like:

"We just happen to think you always look pretty… Even without the makeup and costumes."

One called out fickle internet users for calling the musician "flawless and fine" one week, and the opposite the next, "Now y'all posting pics of her with her natural hair texture and no makeup calling her ugly? Y'all really just suffer from self-hate."

The "Get Into It" rapper did a tutorial of her 'E-Girl' makeup tricks and her skincare routine for Vogue's YouTube Channel uploaded on Christmas Day 2019.

Doja Сat honored the theme, "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," with a homage to his cat.

Her eye cream doubles as lip balm, and she uses a powered scrub on her face twice daily, which she jokes makes her look like the Michelin Man when she applies it. Doja Cat uses five drops of face oil over her moisturizer and sunscreen as it "holds it down all day."

Doja Сat Always Impresses Public with Her Makeup Looks

Fashion mavens like Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu and Kylie Jenner got a spectacular visual feast at the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Spring Summer 2023 runway, in January 2023.

Thirty thousand red Swarovski crystals were applied from Doja Cat's cleavage up to her head and arms, and she was not even in the show.

American MUA Pat McGrath flew to Paris Fashion Week to realize the scarlet masterpiece that took over five hours to apply.

At the 2023 Costume Institute Benefit, known colloquially as the Met Gala, at the beginning of May 2023, Doja Сat honored the theme, "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," with a homage to his cat and heiress Choupette. One tweeted:

"Doja Cat going crazy with the cat to look. Makeup team been goin' hard for a minute now."

Prosthetics on her nose and upper lip gave the MTV Video Music Award winner a more feline appearance. The cat ears on her sliver sequence Oscar de la Renta gown perfected the look. Lil Nas X also did an avant-garde nod to Karl Lagerfeld's pet, while Jared Leto dressed in a full-on realistic cat costume.

"DOJA CAT IS STUNNING! SHE SLAYS EVERY TIME! #METGALA," a fan tweeted in the early hours of May 2, 2023. "Doja Cat looks amazing," another agreed.
