Whether they appear in movies, music videos, or on the front covers of magazines, famous celebrities are rarely seen without being glamorized by professional makeup artists and/or a misleading amount of Photoshop. But as you can see from this revealing list compiled by Bored Panda, sometimes these famous actors get tired of living up to expectations. Sometimes they just want to be normal people for a day, and what better way to act normal than by looking as tired and ungroomed as the mortal masses! Though celebrities without makeup are a rare sight, it is nice to know they're just like us.
From Lady Gaga and Sofia Vergara to Jennifer Lopez and Anne Hathaway, the pictures below contain a bunch of your favorite famous people sporting their natural beauty. Who looks the best without makeup? Let us know in the comments below.

That and, they are still wearing makeup. Plenty of eyeliner, lip gloss, mascara, and powder to go around. Kudos to the ones who are actually not wearing makeup.

I like this post a lot, especially because I am a girl in middle school. Most of my friends wear makeup every day, and sometimes I feel bad or lame for not doing the same. Mostly, I just couldn't care less, but it sucks to hear boys I know saying "Oh, she doesn't NEED makeup". I don't think anyone needs makeup, and to have people judging others for a personal choice is really annoying. Anyway, that's all for today :P
thebridget 7 years ago
I agree. Makeup should just be for YOu. If you like wearing it, go for it. Otherwise, don't. People can be so critical about the way others look, it's awful. Just let people live!

Many are even more beautiful without, but there is still a lot of photoshop amongst them. Mmmmhmmm, Madonna.

I never really keep up with celebrities, so most of these people I didn't know. But when one of them stood out for me on these pictures and I googled them, I realized that I would've never cared to find out who they are if I saw a picture with make up of them. To me most women with make up just look all the same, but without make up, they all have unique and beautiful looks. ♥ Buuuut.... I wouldn't say they look like the ordinary person. Most of them are still way prettier, even without make up and photoshop.
Kristen Steingrandt 7 years ago

To be honest, I don't even know who half of them are - but yes, quite a few of them are decidedly unimpressive without their glam squads. Predictably, though, we still have the celebrity worshippers gushing about how beautiful they are...
Mieke Sorée 7 years ago
Somehow, these women look happier in these pictures than when I've seen them in magazines or on tv. Having no make up on gives them a 'no care in the world'-vibe that let's them glow and look more natura.

A few of these don't count because the women look exactly the same. Like, Whoopi isn't known for caking on the products lol. Maisie Williams is seen without traditional "lady" makeup ALL the time. But yea, most of them still look better than I do without makeup lmfao

Most of the women are probably still wearing makeup or the pics are filtered, Photoshopped, airbrushed, etc. But regardless most of them look better that 90% of women I see anywhere near me. Just saying. They're stars at least in part because they're beautiful people, at least on the outside. Very few people look like they do on TV without makeup, filters, etc.
Monique Pigeon 7 years ago
Yep, they still all look good because makeup or no makeup they still have face structures that are aesthetically pleasing. Especially the models. that's why they're hired. Betcha most meet the golden ratio give or take a few points. My final word is, if Naomi Campbelle really has no makeup on in that picture, good god that woman is amazingly beautiful. Never liked her really but man!

Filter. She's un a forties and no wrinkles? Come on. There's also a couple with soft-focus filters. It's just like make up.

KESHA, without a doubt - I'm a freckle fan! I'm not sure this post actually does what it was intended to do - with very few exceptions, these women are definitely above average in beauty. Even the ones who are pulling faces, crossing their eyes, etc. are showing up as being naturally beautiful. Some of them are also obviously wearing make-up (or the pics have been photo-shopped. There are one or two who have blemished skin, and 'ordinary' women who have blemished skin would generally choose to wear make-up if their appearance worried them. The shots of people (like Lorde and Adele) who were obviously caught having just woken up, show that whoever you are, if you're tired, you're not going to look your best.

There is no reason they should look "better" than anyone else is there,they are still only people same as everyone else :) Personally I don't think there is anything "wrong" with any of them,in fact a good portion look so much better than how we are used to seeing them.

I think they both look like much cooler people without make-up. In fact, I generally disapprove large quantities of make-up, it's like a mask, it kills people's personality and it looks unnatural.
