It’s no secret that makeup is a powerful thing. It’s a tool that many women use as a means of looking more beautiful and feeling more confident than they otherwise would.
With that, comes the pressure to always look and appear “done up.” These celebrities , however, are bucking the trend by revealing their natural faces. Beautiful as they are, it’s likely you wouldn’t recognize them passing you by on the street.
RELATED STORIES
Helen Mirren
Helen Mirren is a Dame in every sense of the word. She’s a proverbial living legend, and the only living person to ever achieve the Triple Crown of Acting in both the United States, as well as the U.K.
Leighton Meester
While you’d never catch Blair Waldorf rocking a naked face, Leighton Meester, on the other hand, prefers a more natural look when she isn’t in front of the camera. It’s safe to say that it suits her well.
Leonardo Dicaprio
If you thought there would only be women on here, you are sorely mistaken!
Leo has gone viral a few times for hiding himself from paparazzi. When we said you wouldn’t recognize them, it’s not just for not wearing makeup, it’s for completely hiding under layers, sunglasses, and hats on the street!
Katy Perry
Whether she happens to be wearing makeup or wearing nothing at all — Katy Perry still makes me feel like I’m living a teenage dream. Very few celebrities are both the summer and the winter, but Katy manages to pull it off effortlessly.
Tyra Banks
This is the face of Tyra Banks right before she’s about to take a bath. I could spend 8 hours a day in the makeup chair and still not manage to look as beautiful as she does sans makeup.
Zendaya
What might allow Zendaya to pass you by unnoticed is her messy main of untamed curls. I personally prefer her luxurious lion’s mane to her more subdued waves. It just makes her look powerful and ferocious in the best ways possible.
Kesha
If I could deliver just one message to Kesha it would be this: free the freckles! The fact that she feels that she needs to cover them up for the sake of appearances makes me sad inside. You’ve got a fan in me, Kesha.
Demi Lovato
When I look at this picture of Demi Lovato without any makeup whatsoever, I don’t see flaws or imperfection — it’s quite the opposite. I see a face full of strength, bursting with confidence, and someone perfectly at ease with who they are.
Ashley Graham
I think that anyone with eyes to see would agree that Ashley isn’t one who needs to hide or conceal anything with makeup. However, those glasses aren’t helping her or anyone for that matter — they just send the wrong impression.
Sarah Hyland
How is it even possible that Sarah Hyland’s eyelashes look that good without any kind of eyeliner or mascara whatsoever? Is eyelash/eyebrow envy a thing? If so, I think I’ve got it really bad. Teach me your ways, Sarah!
Salma Hayek
A lot of people like to talk about how Paul Rudd is an ageless wonder, but I for one feel that Salma Hayek is grossly overlooked in this category. This woman has been killing it since the early ’90s and looks the exact same.
Gal Gadot
So I’m going to just come out and say that I officially hate Gal Gadot. It has nothing to do with who she is as a person or her acting ability — both of which are top-notch. I simply refuse to believe that a human being can look this good.
Jessica Biel
Of all the annoying ’80s/’90s trends to claw their way back into prominence, I keep waiting with bated breath for the moment when chunky eyewear becomes fashionable yet again. With moguls like Jessica Biel rocking these frames, we can’t be too far off.
Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore is a rare breed. She’s one of the very few people who actually look better when they’re not wearing any makeup whatsoever. Whenever I think of wholesome, all-natural beauty, Drew Barrymore inevitably pops into my mind.
Chris Evans
Like Leo Dicaprio, Evans takes special care to appear unnoticed in public spaces. Between his hat, sunglasses, and often appearing with or without a beard, it’s hard to know when it’s actually him walking around Boston!
Ariel Winter
Cards on the table — I’ve been harboring a pretty substantial crush on Airel Winter for quite some time. She went from the nerdy sister on Modern Family to an absolute knockout seemingly overnight. That smile slays me!
Jennifer Lopez
Don’t be fooled by the face that she rocks, she’s still (she’s still) Jenny from that Block! I don’t know how it’s humanly possible but somehow JLo manages to look younger when she isn’t wearing any makeup whatsoever.
Chelsea Handler
As funny as she is gorgeous, if you school through Handler’s Instagram you can clearly see that she has no problem showing just how easy she can take it.
And that’s why so many people love her.
Sharon Stone
This effortlessly cool woman is always dressed in tip-top shape, but that doesn’t mean you will always notice her!
Her natural look might allow her to hide in plain sight!
Ana de Armas
This actress is stunning with our without makeup and even has shown how she gets ready in the morning to look fresh and stunning for the world.
But without all her makeup, you might have to do a doubletake when seeing her on the street.
Hilarie Burton
This One Tree Hill star looks a lot different from when she graced our screens.
So the chances of you noticing her on the streets are pretty slim, unless she’s hanging onto the arm of her husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Cameron Diaz
I know what you’re thinking: Cameron Diaz? How could I not recognize her on the street?
Well, without a full face of makeup and her hair pulled back, you’ll find that you have a lot more trouble than you think!
Matthew Perry
Matthew Perry, like the entire Friends cast doesn’t look the exact same as he did in the 90s, and I mean, who does?
So you might walk right by him and not even notice! That is my worst nightmare.
