Alicia Silverstone

Alicia Silverstone Alicia Silverstone From a distance, Alicia looks all right ... quite pretty, even. But up close, her skin looks a little blotchy. Well, nothing a little foundation and concealer can't fix. She deserves respect for going fresh faced no matter how you look at it.

Frequently asked questions

Honestly, makeup works wonders, but it's also about lighting, angles, and Photoshop. Celebrities are just people, and without all that glam, they have days where they look like the rest of us.

Not really! Everyone has their off days. It's important to remember we're all human, celebrities included. They shouldn't be held to impossible standards 24/7.

There are quite a few! You’ll see some big transformations with stars like Kim Kardashian, Tyra Banks, and even some of the Hollywood A-listers. It can be surprising!

Absolutely! Seeing them without makeup can be like, ‘Hey, they look like me on a lazy Sunday!’ It's kind of nice to see their more natural side and feel a bit more connected.

The main takeaway is that beauty standards are often unrealistic. Everyone has flaws, and it's perfectly natural. We should appreciate natural beauty and not let polished images set the standard.

America Ferrera

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

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga Lady Gaga Lady Gaga Lady Gaga kind of stunned the world when she went without makeup, first for a full-out magazine spread and then in a series of selfies for her fans. I can't say I blame her, with so many people saying such ugly and degrading things about her looks! While I adore her theatrical makeup looks, I've gotta say, I think she's pretty as a picture without a stitch of makeup.

5

Anna Kournikova

Anna Kournikova I have no complaints about how Anna looks without makeup, at least in this picture. She actually looks quite cute without makeup.

Avril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne Avril's face looks all right sans the makeup but her eyes look shadowed! I guess it's bound to happen considering the amount of eye makeup that she's used to wearing. Plus you know being a rocker girl is tiring!

7

Britney Spears

Britney Spears Britney Spears Britney Spears Britney looks like she has serious skin problems in the first two photos but the third one's not bad at all! Sure, she looks a little tired but that's hardly surprising considering all the stress she's under constantly! She's a mom, a pop princess, and an X-Factor judge now too.

8

Brooke Shields

Brooke Shields Agreed this picture was captured at the wrong instant, but in spite of the awkward expression, it's really not that bad! Her skin is clear, that messy updo is rather chic, and her bone structure wins out over her lack of makeup.

9

Calista Flockhart

Calista Flockhart Omg! While Calista looks, gasp, normal without makeup, she doesn't look bad. This shows, though, that the right moisturizer goes a long way -- the shine is the only thing I can criticize, and darlings, all you need is some rice paper for that!

10

Christina Applegate

Christina Applegate Christina's skin looks pale and a little blemished but by no means does she look bad without her makeup. A little eyeliner, some bronzer and nude lip gloss should bring the color back into her face! Even as it stands, though, she looks just fine: despite the blotches, her skin is dewy, and her facial structure takes her far.

11

Christina Ricci

Christina Ricci Christina Ricci gets a lot of flack, but beyond looking understandably tired, I actually think she's proof that you don't need to cake on makeup to look pretty. Her eyes, lips, and button nose still look amazing, and her skin is incredibly clear.

13

Courteney Cox

Courteney Cox Courteney Cox I think Courteney looks like Courteney without makeup. She looks like herself, just completely natural. The worst I can really say is that she looks closer to her age, but honestly, is that really such a bad thing?

14

Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore Drew Barrymore looks lovely without makeup. Look at her face! It's so radiant and flawless!

15

Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria Eva looks "Plain Jane" without the makeup! She's still very pretty, but she's like the girl next door instead of around the block. I cannot believe how much different she looks with all the works!

16

Fergie

Fergie Fergie Fergie sort of needs to leave her poor eyebrows alone for a while, but other than that... I mean, with or without makeup, she has the full lips and strong facial features she's known for, they don't really need enhancements!

17

Gisele Bundchen

Gisele Bundchen I think Gisele looks so pretty and fresh faced without makeup. No wonder she's a super model! She's proof that women are super models without makeup -- you, me, and Gisele!

***

She is a strong advocate of self-care and encourages women to embrace their natural beauty.

18

Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani I know it's kinda hard to see her face with those giant sunglasses on but as far as I can tell, she is still the same Gwen. Of course, without makeup, her pallor is more pronounced, especially around her lips, but with that smile, her casual 'do, and great accessories, who needs makeup? By the way, both pictures are from the same day when she appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show. One before the magic and one after!

19

Halle Berry

Halle Berry I think Halle has a natural beauty about her. She might not look glamorous but she does look beautiful, and I'm loving her flawless skin!

20

Kate Moss

Kate Moss Kate Moss Omg! I had no idea Kate Moss would look this bad without makeup! It's sad really... The thing is, I don't think it has to do with the lack of makeup; I think it's an indictment of some of the lifestyle choices she's made.

21

Madonna

Madonna Madonna Madonna Hmmm... I'm kinda on the fence with this one. Madonna has the body of a rock star but her face has definitely been affected by age. Then again, you can't really blame her for that, can you? She's a mom, she still makes music and tours all over the world, and regardless of her age, she does take care of herself. That bone structure!

22

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman Wow! I would have never imagined that THIS is how Nicole Kidman looks without makeup. For her sake, I'm really hoping this is just a bad picture! I'm going to venture a guess and say it is, because the weird expression notwithstanding, her skin is clear with her signature porcelain look, her eyes stand out, and I personally think her hair looks cute.

23

Uma Thurman

Uma Thurman Uma Thurman Uma Thurman Hmmm... Uma pretty much looks the same. Maybe a little puffy-eyed but her transformation with makeup isn't all that different to me. Again, there are some things you just can't hide. Makeup might enhance her lips, eyes, and cheekbones, but they're still standouts when she goes fresh-faced. Take a lesson!

24

Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum Heidi Klum Wow! Heidi has the most amazing, impeccable porcelain skin I have seen! Okay, too many adjectives, but what can I say? Her face looks gorgeous! I can hardly believe makeup isn't involved...

25

Kim Kardishian

Kim Kardishian I can't believe I'm about to say this but Kim actually looks good. I hardly expected a pretty face under all those layers of makeup. Heck, I'll say it: I think she looks better going natural. What about you?

***

The photo is a breath of fresh air and certainly paints a different picture of the star we're so used to seeing glammed up. In this rare candid, the minimalist approach to her look reveals the natural beauty that’s often eclipsed by her typical Hollywood glow-up. It's a reminder that beneath the perfect contouring and bold lashes lies a Kim that's just as stunning. Isn't it refreshing to see these celebs embrace their bare-faced selves? Her fans might just start a #NoMakeup movement after glimpsing this side of their icon!

26

Katherine Heigl

Katherine Heigl Katherine Heigl Katherine's lacklustre without makeup, but she's also still pretty. She's missing that red carpet "oomph," but life's not a red carpet and there's no reason she should ever be ashamed to get caught without makeup. Especially in that first pic, her smile is all the enhancement she needs!

27

Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff Definitely cute sans makeup! That's all there is to it!

28

Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie Nicole Richie Nicole Richie Okay, the first picture is just hideous! I know, that's mean, but to be fair, I'm pretty sure it's her expression. The second is blah but not bad at all. I don't mind her in the third one a bit. She looks healthy and rested. Motherhood's done her some good.

29

Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson Kate Hudson One more to the neutral list, I suppose. She looks a little washed out but pretty, don't you think?

30

Rihanna

Rihanna Rihanna And this is why Rihanna deserves her title as one of the hottest women of today! She looks fabulous without makeup. Her skin's glowing, her eyes are twinkling, and she's even working that messy hair-do in the second photo... So no complaints here!

31

Lisa Kudrow

Lisa Kudrow I'm beyond mortified by this photo! I really think this is just a bad picture, but it's a good illustration. Ladies, you don't need to pile on the makeup and neither do your favorite celebs, but a little grooming goes a long way! Greasy hair went out with '90s grunge; if Lisa had a better coif here, I wouldn't have any complaints -- I even think the scowl is kind of cute!

31

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez Jennifer Lopez She looks as fresh as the morning dew! Any woman who can look good in a wet suit without makeup is truly commendable...

32

Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson Jennifer Hudson I love Jennifer Hudson's voice, and I don't mind her without makeup either. I'll admit, I much prefer the first picture -- see, ladies? Smiles are the best accessories. The second caught her at the wrong time, but her skin is gorgeous, her eyes are bright, and I sort of love those messy, asymmetrical bangs.

33

Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson Pamela Anderson I've never really liked Pam but without makeup, she looks like a really pretty mom. I think I like her better this way. It reminds me of her way-back Home Improvement days somehow.

34

Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale Kate Beckinsale When I first saw these pictures, I refused to believe that Kate had no makeup on! I mean no one has that perfect a complexion. So if it's true that these in fact are pictures of her without makeup, I'm just gonna say WOW!

35

Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera Christina Aguilera Christina Aguilera I prefer this nude look so much better than her "Lady Marmalade look"! Though I've gotta say that I'm not a big fan of the hair color. Almost makes her look granny like... especially in the first picture! Kudos to her for posing sans makeup for Versace though... it takes some serious guts to do something like that. Shocking, huh?!

Don't you feel a little cheated? I definitely do! But at the same time I'm glad that celebrities are not always caked in makeup... AND that there are times when even they can't spare the 15 minutes to glam-up! Really takes off this whole pressure of having to look perfect all the time. And it's always also nice to know that some celebrities are still beautiful under all that. Above all, just remember that you're beautiful underneath all your makeup too -- and like many of your favorite celebs, you probably look even better when you're fresh-faced!

Lmao thats not kim.. Thats kourtney wtf

I think that people are making a bigger deal out of this than it is. I'm glad that someone took the time out to show women that stars aren't perfect either. It's a side that we don't get to see of them often, and for those of us who don't always feel beautiful, it's nice to see our stars being normal women too. I don't know why so many people are upset about this.

This is rude. Celebrities are people too, and unless you want someone telling you how terrible you look without makeup you should stop. All women and men are beautiful/handsome in their own ways. Leave them alone.

It looks like Lady Gaga is wearing makeup in all of those photos. Also part of the reason some of these stars look less than incredible without makeup is because they have to wear it all the time & it's not great for the skin and the other is if they're working a lot they don't get much sleep.

omg so crazy!!!

Gaga is totally wearing make-up in all those pics, she would never go fresh faced.

I agree with the comment above, I didn't get past the first five without feeling angry. A lot of those pictures were captured at the wrong time so the celebrities faces looked funny, you shouldn't make fun of people. That's not what this website is for.

P.s these photos were taken at a bad time
