Stars Without Makeup - Beautiful

October 20th 2008 06:30
Most of the tabloids do photo spreads of celebrities without makeup using the most unflattering photos. Maybe this is a way of trying to make women feel better about themselves but mostly because it's bitchy and people just LOVE bitchy.

Well this bunch of photos will disappoint because these are all photographs of women who I happen to think look beautiful with or without makeup. You may agree or disagree but each and every woman looks different with makeup whether it's a star who has had the full makeup artist treatment or you or me. Even a supermodel who has perfect bone structure or skin is going to look quite different with a bare face - yes, they will look prettier than the average Jane in the street but that's why they earn the big bucks.


So here is my collection of bare faced beauties.

Carmen Electra


Jessica Alba


Jessica Biel



Elisha Cuthbert


Jennifer Garner


Kim Kardashian


Katie Holmes


Eva Longoria


Eva Mendez


Marilyn Monroe


Natalie Portman


Rihanna


Sienna Miller


This is by no means a comprehensive list. There are many absolutely gorgeous celebrities that look fantastic without makeup but it is very hard to source photos that aren't purposely unflattering. What does that say about us when the paparazzi try their best to get bad shots because they know they sell?

This was inspired by Morgan Bell's post on women she found beautiful that weren't overly made up. You can see her post IF YOU CLICK HERE.

These photos were sourced all over the web. If a picture is yours and you would like me to remove it just let me know and I'll take it down immediately.

wow Carmen Electra, Eva Longoria, and Elisha Cuthbert look barely recognisable!

i dont think i have ever seen any of them without makeup before!

that Jordan (the one whos married to Peter Andre) looks really different without makeup too - its amazing how drawn on brows and eyeliner really frame the face - oh Pam Anderson is another one

Wow they all look so different. Beauitiful, but different...more the type of everyday woman beautiful, rather than the superstar celebrity type.

My personal favorite on this list would be Eva Mendez. she comes the closest to that celebrity type with no makeup at all. I think Elisha Cuthbert is stunning also, while keeping that plain look going.

Katie Holmes needs to grow the hair back to the days of Dawson's Creek and lose the crazy days Tom Cruise hairdo. lol

Sienna Miller is lovely and fresh faced. She's so pretty, I think most of them look better without the makeup. they usually look way too overdone.

Well I'm loving being able to post things ahead of time. I've just gotten back from Brisbane and they published while I was away. Cool!

Hi Morgan, they do look very different don't they? who knew Carmen Electra was actually very pretty underneath all of that makeup. I'll have to check out Katie Price (Jordan), I don't think I've ever seen her without makeup. Who could see past the boobs!

Hi Gene, Eva Mendez is an extraordinary beauty. she looks just as good with or without makeup. I think Jessica Alba also looks amazing with a clean face. I like Katie Holmes with long hair too.

Hi Johnny, she is very girl next door pretty as is Jennifer Garner. I was quite surprised it was Sienna when I was doing the searches.

Thanks for the comments guys. It shows that women can look just as beautiful without makeup but maybe not as glamorous.

EW, UGH, ICK!....lol. sorry, but a few of these women are NOT beautiful (let alone attractive) at all without makeup. Eva Longoria (!), Rihanna (yuck), Katie Holmes (omg no way), Jennifer Garner (hot?NOT!), Carmen Electra (average jane), Marilyn Monroe (wtf?!), and Jessica Biel (looks sickly) look HORRIFYING! (Not a shocker.)

The best looking/ beautiful without makeup on this list are Eva Mendes, first and foremost (she's an obvious stunner), Jessica Alba and Natalie Portman (u can tell she was popular in school). That's that.

Why on EARTH did you pick these ones??? Where's Angelina Jolie? Or Camilla Belle?? Or even Alessandra Ambrosio???

They were chosen because they are beautiful in a way that most women can relate to. Some people are extraordinarily genetically blessed but most of us aren't.

This is to show women who look fabulous made up for TV or movies look as beautiful without makeup as most women do. It just goes to show that with a makeup artist anyone can look like a star.

I think they are all gorgeous.

These women aren't without makeup in some of the photos. I don't know where you got your info or these photos or what would make you think that they are not wearing makeup, but you can tell Jessica Alba has makeup on in her picture, and also that Rhianna does not naturally have a black ring around her eyelashes (so you can pretty much guess that she has other makeup on as well) and you can guarantee that most of the rest have it on as well maybe in a more natural look than you are used to seeing.

But be assured that Elisha Cuthbert and Carmen Electras photos have been retouched. You can tell they are either headshots or they are magazine photos, which any and all imperfections would be removed from.

I am not pointing this out to say that these women aren't beautiful on their own merit or wouldn't be beautiful 100% free of makeup, but to correct your grossly mistated title caption "Stars Without Makeup"... Maybe a few of these photos capture stars with 0 makeup (Eva), but the majority of the photos capture stars with more natural looking makeup instead of five shades of eyeshadow that you see on them in the movies and the magazines.

The previous owner of this site posted that OLD post. Sorry, no idea where she got the photos.
