Make up free Christina Aguilera ditches the heels to carefully steward son Max through the airport

Christina Aguilera is known for always being primped and dressed to the nines, and the diminutive singer rarely goes anywhere without her Louboutin heels.

So it’s no surprise that the singer didn’t want to be caught looking the opposite of red carpet-ready.

The 32-year-old touched down in LAX on Tuesday with her son, Max Liron Bratman, and boyfriend Matthew Rutler, looking exhausted from her flight.

With her long, blonde hair lying stringy and dishevelled under a black hat with a pink New York Yankees symbol embroidered on the front, the Genie in a Bottle singer walked through the terminal and to her car.

Wearing layers of black that entirely concealed her newly trim body, Christina tried her best to avoid cameras.

Her black ballet flats balanced her as she held her son Max in her arms, showing that her focus was on safety for her son before glamour.

The five-year-old didn’t seem to mind the cameras, however, as he bravely looked forward for his mother.

His blue Nike tracksuit mimicked his mother’s choice in comfortable, monotone attire.

Also spotted leaving the airport at the former Voice judge’s side was her boyfriend Matthew Rutler.

Matthew carried a canvas bag full of books and in-flight entertainment at his side.

He wore a baseball cap, grey hooded sweatshirt and distressed jeans with sneakers.

Christina met Matther, a production assistant, while filming Burlesque and started dating him in 2010.

She is taking time off from The Voice to focus on her own music career, which is seen in her most recent music video with Pitbull, Feel the Moment.

how do you know she's not wearing any make-up? She could be wearing layers of concealer.

unrecognisable, but she looks way better without all that makeup! I've always wondered why she wear so much of it.

Christina is probably one of the best role models as shes not let her fame get to her head, nor has she taken drugs or had any bad publicity with the press

She looks better with less makeup on. She usually wears way too much. She doesn't need it.
