We are so used to seeing celebrities dolled up for fancy red carpet events that we often forget it’s all a charade – they don’t actually look like that! Here are 41 shocking celebs without makeup!
Hilary Duff
Hilary looks totally different without makeup, but also a lot younger, which is hardly a bad thing, right? This is a good example of how getting your hair done can make a big difference, too.
Kim Kardashian
She is the contouring pro, so without it, her face is a little less chiselled. However, she still looks completely stunning when she’s going for the natural look.
Uma Thurman
While she does look good for her age, she definitely doesn’t look as fresh-faced without makeup. She does still look great, though!
Nicole Richie
Nicole looks just as beautiful with and without makeup. If only we all could have that perfect glowing skin without having to slather on foundation!
Kelly Brook
She might not look as wide awake and switched on, but there’s just something about Kelly Brook that really makes you stare, even when she’s not made up.
Nicollette Sheridan
The thing is, Nicollette is in amazing shape and incredibly fit and healthy, but this just doesn’t show on her face, which looks exceptionally…well. Tired.
Faith Hill
Faith Hill looks totally different without makeup on – in fact, with the application of some powder and false eyelashes, you could almost believe that it was a different person entirely!
Katie Couric
She looks a lot older without makeup, and a lot dorkier when she swaps her contacts for glasses. It isn’t one of her finer looks.
Milla Jovovich
Milla was a model for a reason; she’s beautiful with and without makeup. Her skin is flawless, and while features aren’t as defined, they’re just as striking.
Kathy Griffin
It’s hard to tell that they’re the same person because Kathy looks totally different when she has a tonne of makeup caked on her face.
AnnaLynne McCord
Being a fairly open person, AnnaLynne has often spoken about her skin issues, but it’s still a shock to the system seeing her face without makeup and realising just how much it does for her.
Tyra Banks
Models can’t always look flawless, you know? Sometimes they want a break from beauty, although Tyra doesn’t look that different without it.
Mila Kunis
The world was shocked like never before when they saw desirable Mila Kunis without makeup – she looked haggard and old, and people just couldn’t believe it.
Barbie
Not a real person, sure, but someone who influences females from a very young age – and just look at the difference her makeup makes! What message does this send to young girls?
Sharon Stone
Unlike a fine wine, Sharon Stone has not got better with age. This shows quite a lot when she doesn’t wear makeup.
Demi Lovato
Demi is a strong advocate of self-love, but it’s easy to promote such a thing when you’re totally gorgeous no matter how much (or how little) makeup you wear.
Sofia Vergara
Sofia looks less tanned, less shiny and a little less glam without the assistance of makeup, but who doesn’t? You can see she’s got naturally defined features, so doesn’t need to overly contour.
Snooki
Without those trademark bushy eyelashes and her drawn on brows, Snooki looks a lot younger and more approachable. The natural look is sometimes the way forward, Snooks.
Jennifer Lawrence
Not only does JLaw look a lot younger without the aid of makeup, she actually appears to have a rounder face too! Oh, the magic of contouring.
Khloe Kardashian
A pro when it comes to contouring, Khloe Kardashian uses makeup to totally reshape her face; it’s a lot chubbier without the makeup.
Beyonce
There’s almost no difference here. Beyonce is just a natural beauty. She’s smoothed her skin with a little foundation, and applied a little lip gloss, but she really doesn’t need it.
Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson looks as beautiful, bright and bouncy as ever when she’s not wearing makeup. Her smile genuinely reaches her eyes, which can make all the difference in the world.
Maria Shriver
Makeup definitely assists Maria Shriver greatly, and without it, her ageing shows more prominently. She still has a killer smile.
Kelly Osbourne
Without makeup, Kelly Osbourne did look a bit like a train wreck. Over the years, she’s tidied her appearance up a bit and looks a whole lot better.
Lady GaGa
We are so used to seeing GaGa in such crazy outfits and makeup that we forget she’s just an ordinary looking person. It’s a shock to the system to see her without makeup on.
Katy Perry
Without makeup, Katy Perry doesn’t look less attractive, she just looks a little more tired than usual. And a little younger, too.
Anne Hathaway
While seeing her without her bold, scarlet lips is a shock to the system, Anne Hathaway looks just as cute without makeup, young and fresh faced.
Pamela Anderson
The body might be beautiful, but the face doesn’t seem to match. Age has caught up with Pamela, and it really shows when she’s not caking on the concealer.
Katie Holmes
Katie looks a little on the tired side when she doesn’t wear makeup but isn’t that the case with all mums? She’s still pretty beautiful.
Busy Phillips
Busy Phillips is certainly looking like she’s been having a busy time at the moment! Without makeup, she looks a little run down.
Emilia Clarke
Without the help of makeup, Emilia Clarke just looks a whole lot younger and even cuter, if that’s possible. The Mother of Dragons looks on fire with that red lippy!
Miley Cyrus
Miley always has some kind of crazy look going on, so seeing her without it is a little strange as it is, but we can really see how young she looks – and tired, too.
Rose Byrne
Rose Byrne is just flawless, with or without makeup. She doesn’t look like she even needs a coat of foundation. She should be a model!
Ashley Tisdale
Ashley Tisdale was never without her pink pout in High School Musical, but it turns out, she doesn’t need the pink – or the pout. She’s a natural beauty.
Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Garner has been through a lot recently, so it’s kind of not her fault that she looks so bedraggled when she’s not spending time making herself up.
J-Lo
Without makeup on, J-Lo certainly looks exhausted. Can you blame her? When she’s busting the moves she does, it’s hardly a surprise that she looks so tired!
Angelina Jolie
Angelina rarely wears makeup as it is, so it comes as no surprise that she looks just as beautiful when she’s not wearing it as when she does.
Heidi Klum
Her features are quite defined without makeup as it is, but Heidi just doesn’t look quite right when she isn’t all made up and glamorous.
Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston is one of the world’s sweethearts, well known for looking so good for age. She doesn’t need makeup to enhance herself either; she just has a beautiful, natural glow.
Amanda Seyfried
Without the makeup, Amanda Seyfried looks as young and innocent as she does in the film that shot her to fame, Mean Girls.
v
Katherine Heigl
Katherine doesn’t alter much when she doesn’t wear makeup; she just loses the glow that makeup provides her with.
