Perfection is impossible, except if you have the luxury of talented makeup artists and incredible Photoshop skills. Without that, most celebrities are…well…normal just like any of us. It’s amazing to see what lies behind the facade of perfection that we are all exposed to. You really have to see these shocking pictures to believe it…

1. Adriana Lima

Okay the first picture….not so horrible. She looks a little plain and nerdy but pretty nonetheless. But the second picture…I’m not so sure.

2. Alicia Silverstone

From a distance, Alicia looks alright…pretty even. But up close, her skin looks a little blotchy. Well, nothing a little foundation and concealer can’t fix.

3. America Ferrera

She might look a little grumpy but as far as I can see, she has lovely skin! Not bad at all without makeup. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m comparing this look to her Ugly Betty look :)

4. Amy Whinehouse

Omg! Alien hair-do…puffy eyes….pale skin… Amy looks like a total disaster without her makeup. Then again, I’m not too fond of her even with the makeup on. Maybe, she wouldn’t look so bad if she gave up the excessive alcohol and drugs…

5. Anna Kournikova

I have no complaints about how Anna looks without makeup….atleast in this picture.

6. Avril Lavigne
