It’s no secret that makeup and Photoshop are celebrities’ best friends on a daily basis. They have the power to completely transform stars’ faces into icons of beauty, flawless in every feature. As a result, the public—that’s us—perceives them as beings so gorgeous that, if we saw them without their careful makeup, we probably wouldn’t even notice them on the street. They’d simply walk past us unnoticed. That’s how much their natural, makeup-free look differs from what we see in magazines and movies. Some celebrities go even further, opting for plastic surgery to stay stunningly beautiful for as long as possible. Here’s a list of celebrities who have been caught without makeup at some point. These are the natural beauties and the stars who—to put it mildly—don’t look exactly like they do in Hollywood.
1. Chelsea Handler (Chelsea Lately)
She may be a beautiful woman, but without makeup you might never notice. She looks like a completely different person. Of course, she wanted to show herself completely natural and probably knew she would be photographed, but it’s still a very good example of a photo that makes you realize just how different a face looks without makeup.
