Kerry Washington is going makeup-free for her cover of Allure magazine's November issue. The Scandal star is putting her fresh face forward as she shares her "confessions of a recovering perfectionist."

To be fair, the 37-year-old actress is wearing a tinted moisturizer for the shoot, but if that's all she's applied in this photo, we have to say we're pretty impressed. Even her hair has that care-free, tousled look that has us wondering if this is far from how she looks when she wakes up.

What do you think of Washington's natural look for Allure? The cover line has us hoping that the typically private actress will reveal a little more about her life inside those pages. Are you intrigued?

The new issue hits newsstands October 28.
