What Stars & Celebrities REALLY Look Like Without Their Makeup

Celebrities and stars have always given us makeup goals with their pretty faces and dolled up avatars. Most of our celebrities and actresses look so beautiful on screen and in interviews that we believe that they have been gifted with such good looks. Their makeup styles become hot trends and we renew our wardrobes and makeup products according to what our favorite celebrity wears. Such is the impact of these celebrities on our mind and lifestyle. Die-hard fans are obsessed with their favorite celebrities so much so that they try to copy them in every segment of their lives. 

Seeing these actresses and actors on screen and in events dolled up so beautifully, we have a certain set image of their looks in our mind. Even before seeing their faces, we have a particular expectation as to how they would look like because we are so used to seeing them always looking their best. We always see them with flawless faces, perfectly pouted lips and eyes done up very beautifully. That is also part of the reason why these celebrities manage to advertise various cosmetic brands so successfully. But to call them con artists would be very inappropriate as they are just doing their job. Their profession demands them to look beautiful on screen and they just do their job exceptionally well. 

Although we love watching them all dolled up, we should have at least an inkling of what celebrities and stars really look without makeup. They look normal just like all of us. Behind their wow good looks is a large team of professional makeup artists who work night and day on their skin, nutrition, and makeup. And if that is not all, the camera does the rest. A lot of bright lightening is focussed on their faces which make them look so radiant. If you actually see your favorite celebrities and stars in reality without makeup, you will be in a big shock.

So here are some of your favorite celebrities and stars in their original faces, completely makeup free and 100% natural. What we see on screen is fake but what you will see below is the actual truth! Recently, in a #no makeup campaign, many celebrities came forward to show their real face to the world. They started appearing with fresher faces at award shows and red carpet events showing the world that they are not that perfect. This campaign was trending on social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. While we did find some celebrities to be totally unrecognizable, there were some who were almost perfect in their looks and looked very pretty even without a trace of makeup.

Many of these stars were applauded for their bold move while an equal number of fans slammed and trolled them on social media after seeing their no make up looks. There are some celebrities who look really unrecognizable without makeup and their fans could not help but pass some rude comments.

There are plenty of Hollywood celebrities and stars who have recently posted their pics on social media without make up. The reason behind revealing their real faces to the world was to let people know their true self and also to raise awareness about the harmful effects of constantly applying these make up related chemicals to their faces. The youth easily get deterred by their flawless looks on screen and try to do the same for themselves. Makeup is nothing but a layer of chemicals. However high the brand or however skin friendly these makeup products claim to be, they are after all chemicals. One needs to use these chemicals with moderation. It is very essential to let your skin breathe free of chemicals. It is a must to remove all the chemicals from your face before sleeping. The skin rejuvenates the most when the person sleeps. It is therefore essential to keep it makeup and chemicals free at night. While you get a restful sleep, the skin is working on its wear and tear and needs to breathe without a layer of chemical on it. Makeup chemicals block the pores and if applied for long durations can cause serious side effects on one's skin. To counter the harmful effects of these chemicals, these celebrities eat a very nutritious diet and have a team of nutritionists and makeup experts working on their skin. If possible, one must only opt for makeup products with the least amount of chemicals or choose the ones with skin-friendly chemicals.

The whole idea behind posting such no makeup photos on social media was to make the fans aware of their real self so that they are not shamed if by chance the celebrities are snapped without makeup. These celebrities would like to convey to the audiences and to the general public that they too are not perfect. Do not have any unreal expectations from them and do not always expect to see them with their face paint. They have been already too stressed with this fact and are scared to walk out of their houses without makeup thinking that the paparazzi might snap them. 

We need to understand that they are doing their job exceptionally well. We like it when our stars and celebrities look so pretty on screen and they just abide by our expectations. 

If stars and celebrities do not have naturally gifted good skin, they have to rely on makeup to appear flawless on screen. They also consult the best nutritionists and skin experts to get a healthy and flawless skin. We too should follow their examples and concentrate on a healthy skin instead of costly makeup products. Healthy eating, stress-free living, and moderate exercises regularly help one get a good skin. Consult a skin specialist if you are facing acne or pigmentation problems. Remember, it can sometimes be easy to achieve good skin. All you need is the right treatment.

Makeup can do wonders on one's skin. It can make dark circles disappear and can help a freckled person to have a flawless complexion if they desire it. Just like Hollywood, Bollywood heroines are also known to apply loads of makeup on their faces to look good on screen.

Many actresses have even gone under severe depression dealing with their skin and makeup blues. Many of them do not like getting their faces painted all the time and yet cannot afford to leave their houses without looking their painted best because they are scared that the media would snap their pictures and reveal to the world their flaws and imperfections. To be a star is not easy and make up plays a key role in their life. 

There are other celebrities who have been quoted saying that they love makeup because it gives them a lot of confidence to move about, they like the way make up changes their looks and they love to see the pretty versions of themselves with makeup. While this is very true, there is the other side of it too. If celebrities reveal their fresh faces to their fans, their fans would at least know what their favorite stars look like in reality and would not be surprised to see a no make up look on any of them.

Below is a collection of some humorous no makeup quotes which may sound funny at first but have a deeper and inspirational meaning behind them. 

We are also not trying to portray makeup as something that should be forbidden completely. Makeup can be beautiful, it gives women a lot of confidence and also lets them camouflage their flaws and look their best on special occasions. Makeup can also be an amazing art form that allows you to experience with different looks and colors. The point is that one should also reveal their true face to the people and never ever be ashamed of the way you look with no makeup. Use it sparingly if you want to achieve a natural look and do not become too influenced by celebrities and stars because their job demands them to apply makeup almost all the time. Try to get healthy skin which is always more important and effective than getting costly makeup products. And most importantly, be happy. Happiness is the best makeup a girl can wear because it resonates from within and gives you glow that even makeup cannot achieve. Even more importantly, happiness will make you feel content with yourself and how you look and you will not worry about what people think about you with or without makeup.
