Most of us see celebrities as perfect specimens who don't have flaws. These people always look perfect when we see them on our screens. Whether they’re walking on the red carpet, posing during a photoshoot, or starring in a movie, they always look magnificent. However, occasionally we get to see them without all of their fancy clothes and makeup and we realize that all celebrities are normal human beings, just like the rest of us.
Faith Hill – It Matters to Me
The beautiful Faith Hill is a darling amongst country music fans. Her amazing voice and stunning good looks helped her achieve worldwide fame. Even though she looks like a superstar with subtle eye makeup and red lipstick, she doesn’t look bad without makeup on either.
She might look like a regular woman without makeup, but her wavy hair is always amazing, whether she’s walking on the red carpet or just going on a walk around her neighborhood.
Gigi Hadid – Vogue
Gigi Hadid became a huge success in the modeling world because of her natural beauty, amazing eyes, and flawless bone structure. She always looks drop-dead gorgeous when she’s spotted in public or during one of her fashion shows, but she also looks amazing without any makeup whatsoever.
This no-makeup selfie shows us that the model doesn’t need expensive products to look like a goddess. Hadid is currently a model for Victoria’s Secret as well as Reebok, so her career is quite impressive.
Miley Cyrus – Hannah Montana
This former Disney star has received a lot of backlash during the years, but she held her head high. She got her start on the show Hannah Montana and she’s aged into a beautiful woman, but just like any other woman, she’s not perfect.
That includes occasional breakouts and skin problems, which we can see in this picture. However, she obviously doesn’t have a problem with going out without any makeup and we applaud her for that. When she does make the effort, however, she looks absolutely stunning.
Angelina Jolie – Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
Angelina Jolie is famous for many different things: being a humanitarian, a legendary actress, and Brad Pitt’s ex-wife.
Even though she’s had to endure a lot of drama in her private life, she still manages to look spectacular every time she appears in public. Whether it’s with or without makeup, this actress shines with a natural glow you can’t fake.
Barbara Bach – The Spy Who Loved Me
Barbara Bach gained stardom when she was a model, but she became known world-wide when she became a Bond Girl. Ever since then, she was followed by paparazzi wherever she went.
Now, the former model and actress is 73 years old but most fans agree Barbara was one of the best Bond Girls. Even though she’s not as young as she used to be, she still looks quite beautiful today, even without makeup. It’s safe to say that this woman became famous because of her natural good looks.
Anne Hathaway – Les Misérables
Anne Hathaway starred in some very popular movies including The Princess Diaries, The Devil Wears Prada, and one of her most famous roles as Fantine in Les Miserables.
Even though she didn’t look like a superstar in that movie and even though she had to have her luscious locks chopped off, she still looked beautiful. She doesn’t look too different without makeup either, because she’s gorgeous either way.
Amal Clooney – Doughty Street Chambers Barrister
Amal Clooney may be just a barrister, but she’s best known for two things: defending WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, and being married to George Clooney. Even though she’s not a singer or an actress, she’s still a Hollywood star.
She looks amazing every time she appears on the red carpet thanks to her amazing fashion sense and flawless makeup on her face. However, fans were delighted when they saw her without any makeup on and realized that she was even more beautiful when there’s nothing to hide her natural beauty.
RuPaul – RuPaul’s Drag Race
Most celebrities post no-makeup selfies from time to time and while their fans are delighted, they’re not too surprised. However, when a world-famous drag queen does it, it’s very surprising.
That’s why fans were astonished when RuPaul posted this picture on his Instagram account while he was in San Francisco. He’s completely unrecognizable without all of the glamorous outfits and makeup he wears on the show, RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Katherine Heigl – Roswell
How is it possible that someone could have such flawless skin without any makeup or photoshop whatsoever? This beautiful actress must have an amazing skincare routine if she’s this gorgeous without any makeup on.
Of course, she looks just as beautiful and flawless while wearing makeup, so we’re left to wonder how she manages to always look so perfect.
Christina Aguilera – Back to Basics Album
Christina Aguilera has been in the public eye ever since the 1990s and fans have followed her career and how she’s transformed during it very carefully. The singer may be 40 but she still looks amazing.
When she appeared on the cover of Paper magazine, she was bold enough to do so without even a drop of makeup. She gained some weight some time ago, but she recently dropped 49 pounds and is looking as good as she did back at the beginning of her career. Not to mention how amazing she looks without makeup, we like this look even more than the one on the right.
Sarah Jessica Parker
This actress and producer has been recognized as one of the most influential people in the world and she has no shortage of awards under her belt. Most famous for her role in Sex and the City, Sarah Jessica Parker has also dated Robert Downey Jr. and John F. Kennedy Jr.
Sarah Jessica Parker has many fans who adore her and when her good friend, Andy Cohen, posted a no make up selfie with the star, the praise kept on coming.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley – Victoria’s Secret Angel
When you look at these two photos side by side, it seems impossible that it’s the same person in both of them. When Rosie has a full face of makeup, she looks mature and seductive, but she also looks amazing without anything on her face.
She is a Victoria’s Secret model after all, so it’s not at all surprising that she is gorgeous and has flawless skin. She must have a great skincare routine.
Jessica Alba – Sin City
Jessica Alba is a name that is synonymous with beauty, but we’re not sure what she was thinking when she posted this no-makeup selfie.
She looks like she’s been crying and her face is a bit red and shiny. However, that doesn’t mean that she’s not still a natural beauty and looks as amazing without makeup as she does with it.
Meghan Markle – Duchess of Sussex
Meghan Markle really is living a fairytale. She was a famous actress, and then married prince Harry which meant she became the Duchess of Sussex.
Whenever she appears in public, it doesn’t matter to her fans if she’s wearing makeup or not, since her beauty doesn’t depend on makeup. In May 2019, she and Prince Harry welcomed their first child, a son named Archie.
Britney Spears – Crossroads
In 2018, Britney Spears started her Piece of Me tour and it appeared that she was planning a huge comeback. This no-makeup selfie that she posted shows us how hard life can be for performers who are constantly on tour.
It can be hard living at such a rushed pace and the dark circles around Britney’s eyes and her leftover makeup show us that this singer could really use some sleep. However, she’s still a professional and when she appears on the stage, her makeup is always perfect.
Kate Moss – The Size Zero Fashion Trend
The businesswoman and modeling icon, Kate Moss, has a small scar above her lip which she usually hides using makeup. When she appears in public without anything on her face, we can see that she’s a person who has blemishes and lines just like the rest of us.
However, she still looks amazing for a woman who is 47 years old. She’s probably one of the best-known names in the supermodel industry and was one of the women who paved the road for future models. She’s been in this business for over 25 years and it looks like she’s here to stay.
Salma Hayek – Frida
This actress/producer has enjoyed great success over the years and she gives an amazing performance in every role that she takes on. She looks gorgeous with red lipstick and some mascara and foundation, but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t look beautiful without them, too.
She might look like an average woman in this no-makeup photo, but there’s no denying that she could still turn heads with her looks.
Denise Richards – The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Denise Richards gained stardom for movies such as Drop Dead Gorgeous and Starship Troopers. She was also a Bond Girl. However, currently, she’s more famous for constantly being in feuds with the tabloids. In 2006, she made headlines after she smashed the laptops belonging to paparazzi.
Her off-screen reputation is also somewhat tarnished as she is the ex-wife of Charlie Sheen, who is probably one of the most infamous actors in the business. Denise is now 50 years old, and this no-makeup picture was snapped by the paparazzi. Even though she’s not as glamorous as she used to be, she still looks good for a woman her age.
Jennifer Aniston – Friends
Jennifer Aniston gained worldwide fame in 1994 when she starred as Rachel on the critically acclaimed TV sitcom, Friends. The show ran for ten years and by the time the show was filming its last season, Jennifer and her two female co-stars, Courtney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, were all making $1 million per episode.
Jennifer’s private life was always closely watched by the paparazzi, more than any of her other Friends co-stars. She was married twice, to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005, and to Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2017. Even though Jennifer isn’t as young as she was when Friends first aired, she is still a beautiful woman, both with and without makeup.
Celine Dion – My Heart Will Go On
Celine Dion is an award-winning singer who has a unique and powerful voice that can reach the depths of anyone’s soul. She first became famous when she collaborated with the group, the Bee Gees, and another legendary female singer, Barbra Streisand.
However, she is best known for the soundtrack to the blockbuster movie Titanic, My Heart Will Go On. That song established her place in the music hall of fame and she became known worldwide. Celine is the type of celebrity who only uses light makeup and neutral shades to highlight her best features, so it’s not surprising that she doesn’t look so different without makeup.
Gal Gadot – Wonder Woman
Gal Gadot’s network skyrocketed by a few million dollars after she gave an amazing performance as Wonder Woman. Playing this superhero didn’t come easy however, it took a diet change and gruel training in order for Gal to get ready for the role.
However, her biggest challenge is probably motherhood, judging by the dark circles under her eyes in this no-makeup selfie. Gal is naturally a really beautiful woman who doesn’t need makeup, but just like every mom out there, she’s probably exhausted from her baby’s cries.
Caitlyn Jenner – Olympic Gold Medalist for Decathlon
Caitlyn Jenner, before becoming one of the most recognizable transgender women in the world, was known as Bruce Jenner. After earning his place in the spotlight when he won an Olympic gold medal, Bruce became the center of media attention when the reality show, Keeping up with the Kardashians, went on air.
Despite being married three times, his last marriage to Kris Jenner was the most famous. Kris and Bruce have two daughters, Kendall, and Kylie Jenner. After their public divorce in 2014, Bruce took some time and came out as trans in 2015. The Vanity Fair cover where Caitlyn was featured for the first time became iconic.
Sarah Paulson – American Horror Story
The charm of American Horror Story is that it uses the same actors for every season, but they play multiple roles and always look different compared to the last time we saw them.
The show has depicted Sarah Paulson’s character in many different lights, but when we take all of those costumes and makeup off, we’re left with a beautiful woman. Even though she has wrinkles due to her age, her look is timeless.
Olivia Wilde – House M. D.
We can’t decide if Olivia Wilde looks better with or without makeup. With it, she looks like a Hollywood diva with amazing hair who probably has a great makeup artist.
Without it, however, she looks like the beautiful girl next door who everyone loves. It’s easy to see that this actress is a natural beauty who knows how to make an entrance, no matter what.
Jackie Kennedy – Former First Lady of the United States
Jackie Kennedy was the first lady of the United States for only two years, from 1961 until 1963 when her husband, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated. There have been many first ladies before and after Jackie, but she’s still considered one of the most fashionable and elegant women in politics.
After she got married wearing a dress designed by Ann Lowe, she became a fashion inspiration to women everywhere. Jackie Kennedy died in 1994 but it’s plain to see that she was an icon, with or without makeup.
Melissa Rauch – The Big Bang Theory
Melissa Rauch is best known for playing the ever-lovely Bernadette on the beloved sitcom, The Big Bang Theory. The actress has stunning green eyes, beautiful blond hair, and a charming smile. Even though the actress is currently 40 years old, she looks much younger.
We would probably say that she’s a woman in her 20s, as she looks amazing even without any makeup. Melissa takes good care of herself and that’s why she has such beautiful and flawless skin.
Zooey Deschanel – (500) Days of Summer
Zooey Deschanel is a beautiful actress who is known for playing roles of beautiful and “quirky” girls. The makeup in this picture makes her look mature and elegant, red really is her color.
The eye makeup accents her blue eyes in a subtle yet beautiful way. On the other hand, she looks very different in this no-makeup selfie but still beautiful.
Demi Lovato – Camp Rock
Demi Lovato probably has the best complexion in Hollywood. This actress/singer is a former Disney star who’s dealt with depression in the past but is doing much better now. In 2017, she released an album called Tell Me You Love Me and it seems like she’s back on the right path.
Demi went through a rough patch after overdosing on illegal substances and going through rehab. It looks like this natural beauty is doing much better now.
Kat Dennings – 2 Broke Girls
Are we the only ones who can’t stop staring at Kat Dennings’ lips? We adore them with or without lipstick. When she smiles, we just can’t help but smile back! We also liked her sense of humor in 2 Broke Girls.
She didn’t have much on her face in that show and we don’t think that she needs anything. Her skin is just flawless!
Liv Tyler – Lord of the Rings
Liv Tyler became popular when she appeared in Lord of the Rings and everyone agrees that she’s a beautiful woman. When you take a look at this no-makeup photo that someone took of her, she doesn’t look too glamorous.
The only explanation we can think of is that she was probably just a bit tired that day, as this actress doesn’t need makeup to look good. Even when she does use it, it’s usually very subtle and elegant.
Princess Beatrice – Big Change
Even though Princess Beatrice might not be one of the most popular British royals, she is still the eighth in line to the throne and is the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth. Princess Beatrice is currently busy being a princess, doing charity work, and making bold fashion choices.
Both she and her sister, Eugenie, are often seen wearing clothes that aren’t really appropriate for the royal family in public. However, she knows how to doll up and wear nice clothes for special occasions but without all of the fancy clothes and makeup, she looks like a regular girl next door.
Beyoncé – Destiny’s Child & Great Solo Career
There is no denying that Queen B is a fashion icon. She can pull off any style that she wishes and she amazes the crowd. She looks like a goddess every time she steps on stage with a face full of makeup, but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t look just as amazing with a more natural look.
In this picture, we see that she has some spots and blemishes just like the rest of us. Queen B showed us that you don't need flawless skin to look amazing.
Susan Sarandon – Thelma & Louise
Susan Sarandon has been in the acting business for a long time now. She is 74 years old and has many accomplishments under her belt, but that doesn’t seem to be slowing her down.
She’s not affected by the fact she’s aging and she showed it by appearing in People magazine in 2016 without any makeup on her face whatsoever. It’s inspiring to see a woman who is embracing the full effect of aging, even though Hollywood usually frowns upon that.
Martha Stewart – Martha
Martha Stewart is the queen of cooking and has been for quite some time. She is a businesswoman who always manages to keep up with appearances, but it just wasn’t a good day for her when the paparazzi snapped this photo of her.
She’s wearing no makeup and casual clothes, as she was probably outside just running some errands. However, being the classy woman she is, Martha smiled and wasn’t fazed by the paparazzi at all. And for a woman who is nearing 80, she really is keeping it together.
Kate Hudson – Almost Famous
If you’re looking for an example of a person who has fresh and healthy skin, look no further than Kate Hudson. Just like a lot of girls out there, Kate received her first advice about makeup from her mother, who let her daughter know that it’s much more important to take care of your body first, and that appearance should come second.
Kate has a water and detoxifying diet to thank for her flawless skin which shines as bright as a diamond. She looks amazing with and without makeup, and she has her mother to thank.
Selma Blair – Hellboy
We can’t help but admire Selma Blair. She’s a working single mother who’s in her 40s and yet, her face doesn’t have a single wrinkle. Even if the actress had some sleepless nights with her son, her face doesn’t reflect it one bit. Even when she has no makeup on her face, her skin is still radiant.
Even though she looks like a normal mom in this non-makeup picture, she looks like a true Hollywood star on this red carpet picture. The Smokey eye makeup goes really well with her hazel eyes, and the red lipstick makes her look like a bombshell.
Kristen Bell – Veronica Mars
Not many women would have enough courage to post a no-makeup selfie, posing next to their breakfast, as Kristen Bell did. This actress doesn’t really care about what people will think about her natural look, but that’s easy to do when you have a face that seemingly doesn’t age.
Kristen takes good care of her face and has a night and morning face washing routine. When she does put in the effort when it comes to makeup, she looks like a Disney princess. Considering that she voices one, that’s no surprise.
Bethenny Frankel – Real Housewives of New York City
People often accuse celebrities of going under the knife, and Bethenny Frankel was no different. However, while most of these famous personalities deny the accusations and say that they’re only a rumor, Bethenny had no problem with admitting that she had work done.
Bethenny said that she underwent cosmetic surgeries such as Botox and jaw reduction. These plastic surgeries are quite obvious and even more pronounced when she’s wearing makeup.
Busy Philipps – Dawson’s Creek
Busy Philipps really does live up to her name, as she’s always busy. She’s doing her best to start a healthy life. This includes going to cardio classes in order to improve her figure. This new lifestyle also had an effect on her skin in a positive way.
When she does her makeup, this actress only uses the necessary products, such as brow gel, mascara, highlighter, and lipstick. She is beautiful without makeup, but those little touches give her a more fabulous look which is somewhat required in Hollywood.
Ariel Winter – Modern Family
This young woman grew up in front of the camera, playing the smart Alex on the sitcom, Modern Family. Ariel isn’t a little girl anymore and she knows how to make people see this.
She naturally has a baby face and still looks like she’s a lot younger, so she uses contouring techniques to draw some angles on her baby face to look slightly older. The peach lipstick and gold eye shadow suit her very nicely and we applaud her for her efforts.
Mariah Carey – We Belong Together
Mariah Carey has a powerful five-octave voice as well as dazzling good looks. However, Mariah is already 50 years old and like many other celebrities, has probably had some work done. Fans suspect that this diva has had several facelifts in order to maintain a youthful look.
Mariah has also changed her makeup techniques quite a lot during her career, and it seems like the singer has opted for a highlighter heavy look for the time being.
