Want a Dose of Reality? Check Out These 80 Stunning Celebrities Without Makeup
Who wouldn't look perfect with a glam squad at their beck and call? But seeing celebrities without makeup could make many of us feel better about ourselves, at least a little. Even if it's sort of silly that we need to see famous people unfiltered just to boost our own self-confidence, whatever works, we say. Plus, it's not just that; when these women step out au naturale, it sends a message of self-love that we all need more of, celebrities included.
That said, a lot of stars look perfect even without their warpaint. It's important to remember that genetics and likely a ton of money spent on professional facialists, dermatologists, nutritionists and aestheticians likely go into why these ladies all look so lovely without their usual doses of foundation, concealer, contouring, highlighting, powder, blush, eyeliner, lashes and lipstick, so don't get too down on yourself if you don't necessarily wake up like this. When all else fails, remember there's a lot more to all of us than our appearances.
