BBC Children in Need is excited to launch its first ever ‘BearFaced Day’ campaign on Friday November 9th, which encourages women across the UK to go without make up to help raise money for disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.

A host of sensational celebrities have gone ‘BearFaced’ in support of the campaign by taking part in a make-up free photo shoot by top photographer Rankin. Celebrities include model and television personality Heidi Klum, media personality Louise Redknapp and TV presenters Caroline Flack.

“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.”

Top photographer Rankin has shot a number of celebrities for the campaign showing their support by being shot without make-up.
