Looks fantastic without all the makeup and has an incredible voice.

She still have makenup. Wake up

[@lizettebreytenbach8433]

Beautiful girl, the little bit of makeup make a big difference.

[@hannaspeaks327]

She literally still has eyeshadow, base, MLBB ( my lips but better) lip tint in nude coral shade and subtle contour done

So much better, she’s just naturally gorgeous. Let that shine not many can say that, but her voice to. Wow.

[@0117NUMBER1]

How taking her makeup off changed the way she spoke 😮 And how beautiful is she without make-up

[@annabellejanssen249]

From 25 years old, she went back to 17. Much more beautiful naturally!!!

[@stephaniecarter6997]

She is 17, and she wants to look more mature for her singing audition- I don’t see any problem with that at all.

[@mymai5859]

All the make-up at a young age makes her look like a jaded 35 yr old & just like everyone else. Without the makeup she looks fresh, dewy & original.

[@user-rx8ln5nu5j]

Simon you're a jerk ☹️☹️🙁😤😤😤😤😤😥😢😓

[@diane4488]

I totally agree with Simon. She looks a million times better without all the make up. Fresh, young, vibrant. And more connected.

There was no without makeup here lol The before and after are different types of a full face of makeup 😂

Simon ❤

[@melindaharrington7588]

​@ayuyade Agree. Second face, was still plenty of make-up just different to her first look.

[@petrathornewill1761]

Oh man. Simon says he wants to see more of what Samantha is deep inside and then he goes and has a facelift and she comes back natural. How ironic !!

[@mimimustermann1696]

You are 1000% right.

[@danielhickmott5800]

Thank you , Simon. I have daughters and it’s important for them to feel comfortable and confident in themselves. For too many years we’ve taught girls they’re not quite good enough without all the trappings. Samantha has many years ahead of her and she’ll do all the better for having learned this important lesson. 😊

[@knockout1891]

Simon got it right for this time. She is much prettier without makeup 😍😍😍😍

[@Sara-eh2dv]

You’re missing the point. The point is: Neither you, nor Simon Cowell should tell women how to look. It’s not your place to decide how this person is supposed to look and she has no responsibility to look nice to you. She has the right to look however the heck SHE wants to look. That’s her choice and her look is not supposed to please you. SHE should like the way she looks. Not you. You have no say in how this girl looks and it’s blatantly rude and disgusting for you to sit there and talk about how this young girls looks make you feel.

[@alexvinkos8406]

Shut up. She is better than you she took the criticism and tried it and she looks better stronger happier

[@naaahevers2093]

There is no person in the world who putts make up on for her self​@@Sara-eh2dv

[@lizeggar2421]

She is entering a competition. It is part of competing and getting to the finals, that the professionals take over the "fimishing"of the contestants, from voice, or whatever, to the appearance of the contestants whather male or female. .

[@shesaid20]

She needed a father’s opinion of how she was presenting herself to the world. Well done !

[@evelyndenise]

It's an AI video. Look at Simon "correcting" his shades... also listen to the way he speaks

[@adrianaadnan9958]

Its crazy how people's opinions can really make people insecure and change themselves..

[@ralphyoung9296]

I hate to admit it.. Simon is right.. she is MORE beautiful without so much powder and paint.

[@nicoleenquist366]

Simon is right! Let children be children for as long as they can!!! She looked almost 30 years old with all the makeup. She’s 17, she can inspire all the other 17 year olds that being yourself is enough. She’s absolutely gorgeous and sad to say it, but not everyone is as beautiful and can where no makeup and still be that stunning 🥰

[@attorneyreid7]

She is gorgeous with and without makeup. She does look much older than 17 with the makeup. Without the makeup, she's youthful, dewy and vibrant

[@Ainaes-Feline]

We all do or did... that is the whole point at that age. They're trying to look older, beautiful and sophisticated...no matter what we old dinosours( aged 30+) think. Look at those 15 year olds strutting up and down catwalks or in front of a camera... They all look 21 going on 30.

[@eyes232]

Believe me, real men, don't need girls with ton of makeup 🤣🤣. I personally, can understand a little here, a little there, but to use makeup until to a point you look completely different.. Is dumb 🤣🤣

[@TravisC.Brown82082]

She’s beautiful without all that gunk on her face! Simon is usually right on when he says something like this and he’s not saying it to be mean! He was 100% dead on with this one because she doesn’t need makeup to look beautiful! She is already naturally beautiful and she does not need any makeup at all! All makeup does is hide her true beauty!!!

[@phwshopping1426]

@@sumayabusur5527 Yes, but I don’t think a man giving his opinion on what she should do is acceptable and if she is expressing herself with hair, makeup, clothes then who’s to say that’s wrong? She absolutely can love herself and still dress anyway she chooses AND wear makeup. 💯

It's more than just a voice it's an entire package. Plus people act different sound different when they're trying to be something they are not. She's just a young girl.... Not some middle-aged makeup marked up woman. Now that she's not concentrating on that she will be able to sing even better.

[@Chaos1976]

He’s correct. That is going to really resonate with her and she will always know she’s beautiful without all the make up and just feel more confident in herself. I think it’s a crime that women these days won’t even run to the store quick without having to spend an hr or so doing their make up. That says a lot. My gf wears make up once in a while. On special occasions and even then just a little bit. I think that is more beautiful. For someone to be comfortable in their own skin

[@charlenefisher2355]

They way she truly looks better without the Make up, stunning

[@myopinionmatters]

My wife loves wearing make up, it’s not a mask. It’s like somebody wearing an outfit they like for their face.🤷 she looks beautiful. She doesn’t overdo it, and if she likes it, why isn’t it good enough for me? People should be authentic to themselves that doesn’t mean not wear make up it means do what is true to you.

[@bonitobonita9263]

Still, whatever he told her was amazing because I am oretty sure she felt more comfortable and confident with how she naturally looks. Simon is not 17 😂 (but I agree with the irony, I just thought it was a positive advice he gave her).

I adore Simon. He has a super special gift. He knows exactly who he is. The difference. ❤

[@doracampos2088]

He is absolutely wrong! Her makeup is her personality.. what makes her feel comfortable. What makes him think that he has the right to change her?

Agreed. This emphasis on her outer appearance and the public criticism of her choice to wear make up is cringe. Her face. Her makeup. Her choice.

[@HollyLuYa94]

Just turned 17, and definitely does not need that much Makeup on. She is so beautiful with her bare and natural face! She actually looks prettier without the makeup on. I would've loved to look like that naturally when I was her age. There's nothing wrong with a teenage girl wanting to wear and play with Makeup. I did the same thing. But, in a professional setting, whether it be a job interview, singing contest, etc. Minimal Makeup is always the way to go, especially if you're very young. So I completely understand why Simon wanted to see her without it on. She looked like a whole new girl after. It really was a beautiful transformation.
