Kristen Bell on Why She Wanted to Go Barefaced with Drew

Kristen: You were the inspiration for me suggesting this because there's no other show you could do this on.

Drew: Really.

Kristen: I don't think so. I can't be like, I'm gonna go on another talk show and take out my hair extensions. They're gonna be like, could you maybe that's not how we're gonna do this talk show, but I felt like, Drew, you are just inspiring to me because you are so full of whimsy and you are so full of loving life and you are also not afraid look at your little face and you are also not afraid to show all the sides of you and I thought, you know what? I feel like I came to this conclusion a couple years ago when my girls started wanting to experiment with like makeup and appearances and I thought I need to frame this well, so I said, you know what, makeup and dressing and fashion, it's about, it's not about concealment, it's about creativity. And for some reason when I taught that to them, I also finally heard it for the first time myself.

Drew: That was so well said.

Kristen on Why She Posts Barefaced on Social Media & Dax On Raising His Girls

Drew: You do it on social media.

Kristen: Oh yeah, well, I also don't wear much of anything in real life and so I'm not, I'm certainly not gonna stop and do my a full beat in order to take an Instagram photo or put something out on social media. For me it's just like I wasn't born with makeup on. I'll survive if I post something on social media without makeup on, and I want other girls to feel, yeah, anybody to feel like that it's not mandatory.

Drew: How does Dax handle stuff with the girls as far as like when they wanna put on makeup or wear a certain outfit?

Kristen: Dax is a very no shame person in general I think because he's had to deal with getting sober and that in and of itself is really understanding what shame is and how it can like damage a personality and he's so supportive with what the girls like do or wanna be, I mean, yeah, and it's really, it's inspiring. He's actually much better at it than than I am, but I mean in truth you know they're 11 and 13, so we haven't dealt with anything like insane. They haven't like wanted to leave the house not wearing pants or something, but I think just getting them comfortable with like internal validation as opposed to external validation is one of the key building blocks because honestly I don't know, I don't know what my girls are gonna be. He's also though like one I think that, and he's expressed this before, like people say like, 'Oh you have like this old cliche of you have daughters and you'll probably be on the on the porch waiting to fight off all these guys.'

Drew: I do think I'm gonna be that person. Go on.

Kristen: Yes, but also let me backdoor you to an idea. Did you, do you think that some of who you've become was directly related to or because of the mistakes you made? OK, so friction and mistakes provide character and learning experiences and I don't think I have the right to take those away from my daughters. I can guide them in the best way possible and give them the most up to date information and you know make sure that they feel good about themselves, but ultimately he had said to me, 'Remember your first kiss, like the first time you had butterflies about someone?' And what did that feel like inside your stomach? Yeah, so why would we wanna remove that from our kids' lives?
