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.

Just to be clear : I didn't upvote your comment because I think "they still look better than" you, i just had the same reflexion about myself ;p
Load More Replies...So many of these photos have filters applied. It's just like wearing makeup.
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.
Load More Replies...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
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!
Load More Replies...I didn't know half of these women, but they all look very beautiful! :)
Celebrities have merely maximized their genetic potential. Good grooming and expensive clothing go a long way.
I wonder how many of these photos are 100% makeup free... Oh well, still all lovely ladies, regardless!
Us who ? Most of them would look better than the average person, when they got out of bed. There is also a good reason for it : Hollywood, TV, the music industry, all employ mostly pretty people
What a stupid stupid article...they (almost) ALL looked great without make-up!
"no better than us". Sounds so demeaning... Sounds MEAN!!! ANYONE who beats his or her face for filth will look better... better 'than' me? I don't know, I look AMAZING with makeup. I look BETTER than my nomakeup self. Same as them.
Beats his or her face for filth? Is that an expression? What does it mean?
Load More Replies...I love that actresses are consider brave for taking a picture without makeup when we have men and women dying in wars.
Here's the thing that everyone forgets about celebrities ... their s**t stinks just as bad as everyone else's. The Queen of England takes a dump at least once a day and it smells just as bad as the homeless guy s******g behind the building. We're all the same.
I feel celebrities wear huge amounts of makeup because their celebrity is a character. Without the makeup they get to be the real them.
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.
THey pretty much all look amazing. SOme look even better without makeup.
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...
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.
OP can suck a massive c**k, most of them look better without make-up
OP can suck a c**k, most of them look better without make-up and they still look far better than you and I
As bonitas continuam bonitas, apenas sem maquiagem. Afinal, maquiagem não é máscara.
As bonitas continuam bonitas, apenas sem maquiagem, afinal, maquiagem não é máscara.
They really do look like everyday people, proves what money and makeup can do !
Not only do these women look better than I do when we're both not wearing makeup, they look better, without makeup, than I do with a full face of "trying my best" makeup.
They are all still pretty, if not prettier without the make up! Beautiful every one of them!
Great. Now show a bunch of Hollywood men without all the same s**t that gets slathered onto them and the designer c**p they get strapped into whenever they do PR shoots .
take OFF EMMA STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE DO NOT DESERVE TO BE ON THIS LIST
They are still very distinguishable looking. That's why they are famous celebrities. I think they look better in these pictures too- more raw, uncensored and transparent. But still poignant.
Also, anyone from OITNB. We see them without "makeup" in the show. Sure, they have makeup for filming but, they basically look makeup free.
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
No, they still look better than me. Me with a full face of makeup on. Provocative title BP, it's certainly got people talking!
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.
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.
Load More Replies...Some of these women look as though they just left a Wednesday Adam's appreciation group. Still hot though lol.
Lady Gaga looks like some random chick I'd love to be friends with
Why did Bored Panda have to ruin it with putting 'who looks the best without makeup' at the end?
The article's title should read "Female celebrities without makeup etc..." Not sure what Bored Panda wants to achieve. I clearly shows that only women are forced to make an effort on wearing makeup and looking good for the world while male celebrities don't need to worry about it?
I worked at a store in Tulum and got Drew Barrymore, Reese Whiterspoon and Cameron Diaz coming in while they were in a bikini boot camp right after the first two had their babies... never felt prettier in my life. 😂😂😂
Quite funny "Celebrities without makeup" ... showing celebrities under age of 25... you should consider to look young and fresh at this age :D
gal gadot is even more beautiful in this picture, although I doubt the fact that she doesn't wear make up on this, the only one I completely trust is the one from zooey deschanels, she looks like she just woke up, still beautiful though
You mean "without makeup and prove they still look better than us"? And #6 isn't Reese Witherspoon... that's Reese Witherhorse.
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.
They all have permanet eyebrows made by a profy, maybe some of them permanent eyelashes. + nude make up + "natural" lipstick. Nice work. I coul also look "naturally amazing" 😉🙃😎
I look at some of these and I love how it says "Prove They Look No Better Than Us" and I'm over here like b***h these girls all have like flawless skin and I'm over here in acne central. B***h we both know you still better than me.
That beyonce-fangirl is probably very angry right now and thinks famous people should be perfect :D
Less is best I say. It's what's inside. I have met Drew Barrymore, when she wasn't working. She is a sweet heart. Spent several hours around her. She is a natural beauty.
I wear foundation every day, but when I get home and/or on the weekends I go bareface and my husband loves me if not more!
god still put me to shame with my make up some of these haha
If you go back and REALLY look,at least 1/3 of these women have on mascara and/or eye liner. And Ivanka should not even be on this list. So to all the women that are honestly going natural in these pics......you are beautiful.No need to ever wear fakeup.
They have access to the best make up artist, photographers.....they pay people to dress them and then there is photo shop and filters. Otherwise they look like ordinary people.
Anyone who has spent anytime in Los Angeles knows you can find women in malls that are prettier than a lot of stars without makeup and lighting. However, Reese Witherspoon looks the best in the collection above. Emma Stone looks the worst.
Makeup is really just a finishing touch to the skin care and I bet they spend more on it than I earn in a year.
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.
The photos show just how human these celebrities actually are. It doesn't matter how much money some of these celebrities have, some of them look like they had a couple rough nights. Just goes to show money can make you look like anything you want.
I bet they would look even better au naturel if they weren't pulling those goofy faces.
It's sad that the description is trying to make the pictures relatable but all of them still look ridiculously attractive. Lol
Doubt, if any of them had plastic surgery, can that count as not 100% natural?
Their boyfriends or husbands will see them sans makeup, but that is for the image?
Where is Melanie Martinez? Is if unrecognizable without her two toned hair and makeup!
My opinion? This is a STUPID article! Also, most of the pics SHATTER the point you were ATTEMPTING to make! They are beautiful sans make-up!
What do you mean by (no better than) "us"? I'm looking forward to meet some of "you" (with a few exceptions of course).
lots of them are either wearing make up or used some instagram filter that evens out or lightens the skin tone. :(
Load More Replies...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. But we both just discovered why some celebrities wear so much make-up: the best way to avoid fans is simply being yourself! :D
Some of these women have hit the f*****g wall hard! I didn't recognise some of them. Amazing what fake up can do,
Courage? There is nothing really "courageous" about going without makeup
