We all love to see our favorite celebrities in makeup and dressed to the nines. As much as we love to see them all glamorous and shining we can’t get enough of them in their private lives. It is in their private lives that they are caught on trips to the store or for a walk with the kids without their makeup. Some celebrity photographers focus entirely on catching famous singers without makeup as well as models and actresses.

We are all used to seeing our favorite stars with their hair and makeup perfect. Initially, it catches us by surprise when we see them without makeup. The appearance of these stars changes drastically when they are no longer in professional hair and makeup. When they are in their makeup you get the full effect of glamour from them. Celebrities look as common as you and me under all of that makeup.

On their faces are flaws; warts, discolorations, and pimples can be seen without them. Once the makeup is off, Melissa Gilbert doesn’t have that envious perfectly toned face. She isn’t the only person who appears dramatically different. Take a closer look at those pictures next time and you will see just how different they look.

Older actresses such as Goldie Hawn are usually shown in these photos. The ageless appearance onscreen disappears without the makeup. These actresses and singers without makeup resemble the rest of us with wrinkles and laugh lines. They have some gray when they don’t get touch ups to go with the makeup.

Can you picture your most cherished singer with no makeup? What about Kiss? You can’t forget the wonderful times of all the great bands and the charming makeup. Bands that wear heavy makeup like Kiss and Poison are almost unrecognizable without theirs. Once the make up is off, it is obvious that they are men. The difference is amazing, no longer are the faces completely hidden under perfect makeup, the flaws all show. It’s amazing to see Gene Simmons out of makeup, he almost doesn’t look like the man in KISS! Remember Boy George from the 80’s, you would not even recognize him as the same person now as he works as a dance DJ at a hot London Club and with the Ministry of Sound. Having a white stripe of makeup across his face is how Adam Ant used to present himself. This can be a surprise to see them with no makeup on.

Celebrities with no makeup help our self confidence. They are all airbrushed and painted on magazine covers mostly but the times they aren’t made up make the rest of us feel better. Looking through magazines and seeing the models all made up can sometimes make us feel self conscience about the way we look. When looking at those photographs, it’s easy to forget that we are fine the way we are. That is, until they appear to use with no makeup on.

After seeing their flaws we don’t feel the pressure to be so perfect. Like the rest of us, they suffer from skin conditions and acne. Without makeup on laugh lines and wrinkles become visible. Aren’t you already feeling better about yourself? Oh yes. You certainly do. Now you know its not reality.

When you see a beautiful person on the cover of some glamor magazine, just smile to yourself knowing that you’re just the same as they are. You just don’t have a professional makeup artist in your bathroom waiting to make you look perfect every morning. You would look great all the time also if you were given this luxury.
