Pictures of sarah palin without makeup

Sarah Palin spotted without makeup or wedding ring

Mama grizzly has been spotted in the wild — without makeup.

Sarah Palin was photographed out shopping in Anchorage, Alaska, on Monday.

The Alaskan politician, 50, didn’t look her normal camera-ready self, instead opting for comfort in a red hoodie, sweatpants and Ugg boots.

Never one for subtlety, the former Republican vice presidential nominee appears to flash her middle finger at the photogs, drawing attention to the fact that the Fox News commentator did not appear to be wearing her wedding ring.

After the pictures made headlines on Tuesday, Palin made a statement on Facebook.

“Feel bad for the poor paparazzi hounding outside my truck this morning hoping to capture a tabloid ‘exclusive’ of me coming out of Bikram Hot Yoga. How about we take away their ‘exclusive’ and I’ll give you the photos first, for free! Yup, here’s what I looked like sans makeup, drowning in sweat when the camera rolled; looking much like a sheepdog, I’d say. No one said workouts were glamorous!”

Along with the statement, she posted the pictures with the caption: “Sweat is good. Not pretty.”

Last week, Palin’s family was allegedly involved in an embarrassing drunken brawl at a house party.

The television personality was asked about the fight by shutterbugs, but ignored the questions.

Just call her a pit bull without lipstick!

Sarah Palin is proving she has a sense of humor about the makeup-free photos that surfaced this week. On Monday, the 50-year-old politician was photographed by paparazzi looking fresh-faced without any cosmetics on. But instead of getting mad about the slyly snapped no-makeup shots, the former Alaska governor took to Facebook to joke about the incident.

"Feel bad for the poor paparazzi hounding outside my truck this morning hoping to capture a tabloid ‘exclusive' of me coming out of Bikram Hot Yoga. How about we take away their ‘exclusive' and I'll give you the photos first, for free!" Palin wrote Tuesday.

"Yup, here's what I looked like sans makeup, drowning in sweat when the camera rolled; looking much like a sheepdog, I'd say," she added. "No one said workouts were glamorous!"

In addition to the funny message, Palin also shared a collage photo of herself without makeup with the message, "Sweat is good, not pretty."

Palin's sans makeup shots surfaced on the heels of her family's involvement in a drunken brawl at a snowmobile party in Alaska the other day. According to a local blogger who documented the fight, Palin's son Track Palin "stumbled out of a stretch Hummer" before picking a fight with a man who may have dated his sister, Willow Palin. The owner of the house, Chris Olds, got involved and claimed he was struck by Bristol Palin several times.

Sarah Palin shares sweaty, make-up free photos on Facebook

When exiting out of the Bikram Hot Yoga in Anchorage, Alaska, Sarah Palin was caught unexpected as paparazzi snapped photos of her looking unkempt after a workout on Sept. 15th. However, instead of fighting the viral spread of the photos, she posted them on her Facebook, herself.





With the bold caption above the three selected images, "Sweat is good - not pretty," Palin admits she was looking less than her typically kempt self.



"Yup, here's what I looked like sans makeup, drowning in sweat when the camera rolled; looking much like a sheepdog, I'd say. No one said workouts were glamorous!" Palin wrote on the Facebook post.



Numerous news outlets had posted photos of Palin that day without makeup as she attended to errands. Many were criticizing Palin for not wearing her wedding band.



This was Palin's first public outing since this past weekend when an alleged fight broke out at a party that some of Palin's family had attended. Sources say that the ex-boyfriend of Palin's daughter Willow, Connor Cleary, started the alleged fight. Palin's oldest son, Track, suffered four broken ribs and her husband, Todd Palin, suffered a bloody nose.

Of course, being a woman in politics brings with it challenges that most men don't even have to think twice about.

To that end, we put together a list of female politicians who look rather different without it, despite their seriously impressive resumes. Read on to see!

Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin shocked the world back in 2008, when the late Senator John McCain announced that he'd picked her to be his running mate. Though she was the governor of Alaska at the time, she was not yet a household name — though that changed literally overnight once she became a candidate for vice president. Although the McCain-Palin ticket was defeated by Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Palin remains famous in American politics for her conservative views and Alaskan temperament.
