In the celebrity world, makeup, grooming and Photoshop are a star’s best friend. In fact, it’s almost as if they are a necessity and understandably so. These can transform one’s appearance completely and make any celebrity’s face look completely different. In fact, they get very extensive makeup and touch-ups done to the extent of becoming unrecognizable if you were to meet them randomly on the street without any makeup on. Some A-listers have even gone further to get cosmetic surgery so as to enhance their physical appearance. They want to stay young and beautiful for as long as they possibly can. Below is a list of celebrities photographed both with and without makeup. Some of them have that amazing natural beauty we all desire, however, others look nothing like they do with the extra Hollywood glamour:
1. Chelsea Handler ( Chelsea Lately)
Undoubtedly, Chelsea Handler is a beautiful woman. However, without makeup and some hair touch-ups or extensions, she looks nothing like she does when she’s in front of the camera. You could easily walk past her even if you’re a fan. Obviously, when celebrities walk out of their houses without makeup or without going through the entire glam process, they don’t expect to be photographed. She’s just the first on our list but sure, you can tell that they really use makeup, great hair and clothes to their advantage.
2. Cate Blanchett
Cate Blanchett has been very successful in her acting career, having portrayed so many different characters ranging from Elizabeth 1 to Elfin Galadriel and Katherine Hepburn. She even played the role of Boby Dylan, a pretty dead-on. She has so much grace which she always brings with her on set hence her success. She also has a lot of self-possession and today, the 43-year old actress is easily one of the classiest stars around. She is gorgeous with or without makeup and strong as well.
3. Celine Dion
Celine Dion is undoubtedly an icon. Not only does she have a beautiful voice but also a beautiful face even without makeup. In the picture above, she was celebrating Thanksgiving in Canada and as you can see, the sun glows in her casual snap. However, her skin glows even more and looks beautiful. The Canadian singer’s face looks all nice and fresh while she spends some time in the mountains. She’s wearing a black bodysuit, some leather pants and a red shawl all which help bring out her beautiful face. Over the past few months, Celine has been enjoying the slow-paced life. This is because her Courage tour was postponed owing to the coronavirus pandemic that somehow brought the world to a standstill. The mother of three seems to be thriving while keeping a low profile. After all, it gives her the opportunity to spend more time with her children.
4. Tyra Banks ( Top Model USA)
Tyra Banks remains one of the most famous supermodels in the world today. Every time she’d appear on our screens on her show America’s Next Top Model and her own talk show The Tyra Banks Show or even on the many magazine covers that she graced, she would always looked stunning. She’s still the envy of many even when she gives interviews today. All those times, Tyra would have a full face of makeup. That said, without makeup, she still looks so bomb. However, we admit that without it, her charisma is not the same at all. Tyra rose to fame as a supermodel but she has had some acting roles along the way. This would explain just why or how she managed to amass a huge fortune of $90 million. Let’s face it, with such an amount sitting at the bank, with or without makeup you will always have suitors lined up.
5. Kylie Jenner ( Family Kardashian )
Kylie Jenner is one of the most famous makeup moguls in the world today. She’s always loved makeup and so she decided to make it a business. That said though, she does not look the same without makeup on her face. She looks like a classic person and not a reality TV star. Regardless, we have to admit that she doesn’t look bad at all. She has cute freckles which give her a youthful and bubbly look. She has a very pretty face but that’s not her only asset. Her bank account is too. So whether you prefer her touched-up photos or you like her more natural, she probably doesn’t care at all.
6. Jennifer Lopez
Without a doubt, Jennifer Lopez is one of the most beautiful women in the world today. She is simply glamorous and so admirable for everything she has managed to achieve in life. In an attempt to share the secret to her unique glow with her many fans, J-Lo launched her own beauty line, J-Lo Beauty. For her, this wasn’t just a passion project but a 30-year old dream she’d been carrying. You could see her excitement while she shared her teaser video for this project on her Instagram. Her philosophy is all about making women feel beautiful both inside out regardless of their age.
7. Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz has starred in several shows in Hollywood and has undoubtedly given her best to the entertainment world over the years. She’s always had a tall and slim body that is often admired by many women and well, so many men find her hot. Many girls would give anything to have Cameron Diaz’s body. She was once a model and to keep her body banging, she engages in a lot of activities for example yoga, surfing, fast diet, swimming and other sports. That said, without makeup on her face, she is just like us. You might therefore not be able to recognize her outside.
8. Meghan Markle
Meghan Markle is undoubtedly proud of her freckles and knows just how beautiful she is with or without make up. As such, she likes to go make-up free often showing off her natural glow. Nowadays, perhaps because of her status she’s even more polished but in most cases, she leans towards the more natural look. While speaking to Allure in a 2007 interview, Meghan said, “For all my freckle-faced friends out there, I will share with you something my Dad told me when I was younger. ‘A face without freckles is a night without stars.’” Wonderful words don’t you think?
9. Lady Gaga ( The Fame )
Lady Gaga is known as that artist that knows how to bring the show everywhere she goes. She is an eccentric singer and musician with a lot of fans from all over the world. She always manages to impress with unique, straightforward style that almost knows no limits. She has expressed through many of her outfits that she does not stick or live by anyone’s rules. She’s gone so far as showing up on the red carpet wearing a meat dress. That said, she posted a makeup free selfie that left everyone who saw it in shock. Who would have thought that this is what she really looks like without makeup?
10. Adele ( Skyfall )
Adele has an outstanding voice. It’s not only unique but also carries with it a lot of power and purity that easily sends chills down your spine as you listen to her. She makes you feel the emotions that she had when she was composing the songs and it is just beautiful. She is eminently talented but her bank account is also very interesting if not more. The photo above of this amazing star without makeup looks less glamorous. However, we can still recognize her.
11. Kim Kardashian ( Family Kardashian )
Kim Kardashian is undoubtedly the queen of appearances. This is perhaps why you will rarely spot her around without a full face of perfectly done makeup. This is why this natural photo of her is truly priceless. That said, the queen of appearance has nothing to hide as she is beautiful even without a full face of makeup. A lot of people believe that she’s had multiple cosmetic procedures done to enhance her appearance. Regardless, she looks divine.
12. Kate Upton ( The Other Woman )
It goes without saying that Kate Upton is one of the most beautiful models in the world. Aside from modeling, she is also an actress. In her line of work, you are constantly forced to be glamorous. This is because the cameras are always on you whether on the street or on set. That said, from looking at the picture below, you can tell that she doesn’t look the same without makeup. She’s not the woman we’re used to seeing on the media. We can therefore say that this is a perfect example of an ordinary woman who thanks to the power of makeup is transformed into a beauty icon.
13. Sofia Vergara ( Modern Family )
No one can deny that Sofia Vergara is a real beauty. Every time you see her, you can’t help but notice how amazing she looks whether in front of our screens or on the streets. She is the epitome of beauty with a are face too don’t you think? Even when she has a cold, she looks great. Sofia dared to share a photo of herself feverish and she still looked amazing even with the red cheeks. The best part about her is that she doesn’t seem to grow old. Talk about an ageless beauty or aging gracefully.
14. Zoe Saldana (Avatar)
Zoe Saldana is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars the world is lucky to have. She has over the years landed big roles in some of the biggest, most popular blockbusters the world has seen. Examples include Avatar, Star Trek, and Guardians of the Dark Galaxy just to mention a few. Thanks to these films, we have mostly seen her with either blue or green skin. Fortunately for her, there isn’t much of a difference between her bare faced and with a full face of makeup.
15. Naomi Watts ( 21 Grammes, Mulholland Drive et The Impossible)
Naomi Watts often comes first in mind when casting for exceptional roles is done because she embodies such roles so perfectly. She is an internationally renowned actress that is admired by many. Naomi recently uploaded a photo of herself makeup free and we can’t lie. She looks completely different from the actress we’re used to seeing on our screens. In this photo, it’s very hard to tell just how magnificent she is as an actress. In her daily life, she looks just like any other ordinary woman who would easily go unnoticed on the street.
16. Coco Austin ( Ice Loves Coco)
We have to begin by admitting that Coco Austin is magnificent. She is a glamorous model who has managed to remain stunning despite having been around for some time. That said, her appearance has changed a lot over the years but this is easy to understand because age spares no one. Take her butt for example. It did not look as plump in pictures back then like it does now. She has admitted that she got implants at some point in her life. That said, Coco is still naturally beautiful. It’s a fact that nobody can dispute.
17. Diane Kruger (Troies)
Diane Kruger has appeared in many different films including the masterpieces Troy and Inglorious Bastards. She is easily a true goddess every time the cameras are on her. She looks amazing with her hair and makeup all done, however, without all that glam, she looks like any other ordinary woman. She is beautiful for sure, but we have to admit that makeup does wonders on her face.
18. Carrie Underwood ( Some Hearts)
Respect to Carrie Underwood for this selfie of her in the middle of a workout. She is all sweaty here and of course, without makeup. It takes a lot of confidence and a true star to snap that as not many would. She does look different but with or without makeup, Carrie Underwood is indeed beautiful. With a fortune that stands at over $85 million anyone would be confident enough to share such a photo. She has practically made it in life already and needs no one’s approval.
19. Heather Locklear ( Melrose Place)
Heather is best known for her role in Melrose Place, a hit 2000s television series. For this series she was nominated for four Golden Globes. She also had a role in Dynasty where she played Sammy Jo from 1981 to 1989. At fifty-seven, Heather does not look as fabulous as she did back in the day. This could be because of the legal issues she’s faced or maybe health issues as well. She has also admitted in the past that she took drugs at some point in her life and had to check into rehab several times because of it. Sadly in 2018, Heather spent most of the year in a mental institution and at some point, word went round that she had tried to commit suicide.
20. Amal Clooney ( Avocate chez Doughty Street Chambers )
Amal Clooney is not an actress, but in Hollywood she is one of the most famous people considering she is married to George Clooney. He is undeniably one of Hollywood’s biggest star. Although George was a must-see Hollywood star, Amal was also already well known even before she married him. Being the smart lawyer she is, she has over the years taken and followed some high profile cases in international law. That aside, this lawyer is absolutely beautiful even without makeup. She honestly has a face that that would have easily made her a famous actress in Hollywood.
21. Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston is yet another actress whose beauty we can’t seem to get enough of. Sometimes, because life is unfair a photo could make us look bad. Some angles can be rather unflattering but sometimes we may look bad in them just because life has taken a heavy toll on us. This was the case for Jenifer especially in 2015 which was a hard year for her. However, she remains gorgeous. Whether you see her with a face full of makeup or natural, you will still be able to recognize her. She’s also another celebrity who is aging gracefully.
22. Priyanka Chopra
The beautiful Priyanka Chopra is an absolutely gorgeous Indian actress although she first got into the limelight when she became Miss World back when she was a lot younger. She looks just as beautiful without makeup as she does with it on her face. In her photo, she looks vulnerable, honest, and her natural beauty is a real inspiration. You can easily recognize her anywhere with or without a made up face.
