Hollywood stars are rarely seen without their make-up, but when they occasionally step out without their trusty mascara, we get a glimpse of what the star beneath the layers of tan and foundation really looks like. Some manage to pull off the fresh faced look, while others shouldn’t leave the house without their concealer firmly in place. Here is 21 stars bare faced. Some rock the au natural look to perfection – but for the majority, it does little to flatter! It is strange to see what a difference a good tan and some mascara make – but these are the proof that dolling yourself up can really make a difference to your looks. Some of these celebs look so different, you’d almost mistake them for a normal person!
23 – Ashley Tisdale
22 – Amy Winehouse
21 – Marilyn Manson
Check out who else left their concealer at home after the cut!
20 – Madonna
19 – Mariah Carey
18 – Pamela Anderson
17 – Britney Spears
16 – Halle Berry
15 – Cameron Diaz
14 – Jennifer Lopez
13 – Hilary Duff
12 – Beyonce
11 – Angelina Jolie
10 – Kristen Stewart
9 – Lauren Conrad
8 – Eva Longoria
7 – Jessica Alba
6 – Miley Cyrus
5 – Drew Barrymore
4 – Vanessa Hudgens
3 – Lady Gaga
2 – Blake Lively
1 – Katherine Heigl
It’s surprising just how effective make-up is, isn’t it? Not only can it make or break your appearance, but without it, some of these stars look unhealthy! There are a few acceptations though – some of just manage to pull it off, and bravely bare their skin to the world! Leave a comment with who you think looks the best and of course, who you think looks terrible without!

I love few things more than a good star-without-makeup reel!!
What on EARTH is going on w/ Winehouse!? Yelp.
Alba, Beyonce, and Halle look pretty darn cute with or without. But, it sure is satisfying to see Angie Jolie looking so normal.
March 23rd, 2010 at 1:41 pm
These are my favorite kind of celebrity pics. Makes me realize that the average person can look hot too!
May 11th, 2010 at 10:35 pm
Hi, my names Mark whats wrong with thees woman there beautiful with or without makeup. you know i think you should think about what your going to say first
yes im Vanessa hudgins and i do not like the way you treat me now please leave me alone….. and no one here will ever no the real me only the magazine me
May 14th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
Wow, I would drop everything to marry Jessica Alba right now, specially after seeing her this hot without make-up!!! J-lo comes in at a close 2nd, but she’s a little old for me, Vanessa Hudgens, ties for 2nd). Hally 3rd but same deal as j-lo. Lady ga-ga (grooossssss)… I actually think she’s a dude. Amy Winehouse is crystal meth-house), I’ve had a crush on Drew Berrymore since I first saw ET in the theater when I was a kid (she’s still older by 5 yrs) but not to shabby without the make up).
May 27th, 2010 at 1:31 am
i think…some of these are just “bad” pictures of the celebrities. miley cyrus for example. she looks really bad, but its the position more than the lack of makeup.
although i will say jessica alba looks cute! and kristen stewart doesn’t look any different.
May 30th, 2010 at 5:00 am
lady gaga is so ugly!
blake lively and angelina jolie stay unchanged (which is good!)
May 30th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
The biggest shock is Eva Longoria OMG!!
May 31st, 2010 at 3:38 pm
Katherine Heigl is still beautiful without make up. I appreciate her more.
June 3rd, 2010 at 9:47 pm
lady gaga is so ugly!
June 22nd, 2010 at 2:15 pm
ashly tisdale, jilary duff, kristen stewart and jessica alba..i think look best without make up.
the ones that look worst….madonna, beyonce…i don’t rlly remember the rest..but damn..these celebs..i did not expect this….people try to look like these stars..all they are trying is to look like a fake…idk..
June 26th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
wow…Manson looks…modest, now wonder he wears makeup! without it he looks like he could be your normal, quiet uncle. pretty awesome now that i think abou it.
June 28th, 2010 at 6:26 pm
Well Jessica,Blake and Vanessa are not bad at all
July 7th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
They just look like normal people to me.
July 15th, 2010 at 6:44 am
gaga look like a man O.o
July 15th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
YEEEEEEEEEELPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Amy Winehouse shouldn’t of smoked so much, I thought she was ugly anyway, No offense.
July 15th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Gosh….Hilary,Blake,Angelina and Ashley look not so bad…but all the others…..I don’t know what I must say……………:S
July 17th, 2010 at 7:10 am
Beyonce still looks beautiful
July 19th, 2010 at 3:16 am
this is rediculous.
a majority of these women are gorgeous on their own. they dont need the make-up. and the ones that look bad or have horrible skin are the ones who add pounds of make-up for their job, or the ones on crack.
July 20th, 2010 at 12:30 am
ok soo..just to point this out. the pic of mariah carey, they were trying to make her look ugly, so im pretty sure she had make up on. its from precious. she probably looks way different when she doesnt have make up on though
July 22nd, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Women in general get a full grade up, as far as their looks when it comes to using makeup. Let’s say a woman without make up has a “C” face, if she uses enough makeup she will have a “B” face.
July 24th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
kristen stewert
July 28th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
why isn’t anyone saying anything about madonna? she looks like a crystal meth head….what happened to her?
July 28th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
Ashley and Miley are not that pretty with make-up, so it’s not surprising that they look like that without it. Same with Amy Winehouse. Madonna’s the only one that surprised me.
All the rest look like normal people, which is actually nice to see once in a while. Personally I think Vanessa Hudgens looks just as gorgeous without make-up as she does with. Girlfriend has good genes. Same with Halle, Beyonce, Hilary and Blake.
July 31st, 2010 at 2:32 am
omg
there so ugly!
thats what you get for covering your face with pounds of makeup.
July 31st, 2010 at 2:40 am
omg there hideous.
Madonna looks nasty and im not just talking about without the make up.
Amy might have a bit of a skin condition.
Ashley Tisdale has a huge nose and is always been ugly to me and so is Cameron and Angie looks like an ailen
August 2nd, 2010 at 9:40 am
It’s good to see that even stars can look so ugly.
They are praised for their beauty in spite of looking so ordinary. It is truly the make up that make them look presentable.
August 4th, 2010 at 6:54 pm
omfg miley cyrus is beat with and without make up she should just quit acting once and for all also tisdale knowles liegly berry look good without make up i also like angeline jolie but i cannot lie she looks terrible
August 4th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
Marilyn Manson is still hawt without makeup :3
August 5th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
angelina Jolie is scary!!!
So is Eva Longoria!
Alba looks pretty good.
August 10th, 2010 at 9:33 am
I think Vanessa Hudgens, Halle Berry, Black livley, Ashley Tisdale, Britney Spears and Jessica Alba all look gorgues with or without make up but I was amazed when i saw Amy Winehouse she acctualy scared me BUT Vannesa & jessica looked the best
August 13th, 2010 at 5:14 pm
ashley,miley,vanessa,jessica alba,beyoncé beautiful without makeup but the’re stupid and funny there head
xdxd
miley head is funny but she not ugly
August 19th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
i think all those celeberty are so redicioulous especially miley no offense! and lady gaga looks like a true man
August 24th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
umm amy,madonqna,and gaga are sooooooooo ugly! gaga I know your a dude, u just gotta be. Marilyn Manson you are 1 ugly mother fu***r, holy moly!!!! the rest of the girls are ok… but 99.99% of ladys use make up, it just makes us look better:)
August 26th, 2010 at 12:04 pm
Ashley tisdale, hillary duff and vanessa hudgens look the best. Hillary duff and vanessa hudgens never were makeup anyway but omg AMY WHINEHOUSE! what is wrong with her, not like she wasn’t disgusting with make up but still. BTW not only does madonna look like shes gonna drop dead any minute, but whta’s wrong with her arms?
September 15th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Angelina looks great even without makeup.
hey Angi,,, you are my queen!
October 13th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
The younger they are, the less they need all the makeup, eyelashes, hair dye, etc. Drew looks surprisingly nice without the warpaint though.
October 21st, 2010 at 12:32 am
“Acceptations” ololol
October 24th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
amy winehouse, lady gaga, and madonna r soo ugly; cameron diaz and pamela anderson just dont look good; drew barrymore surprised me but shes ok, laura conrad is ok, angelina jolie is ok; miley cyrus is pretty but thats just a bad picture, and all the rest of them r beautiful with or without makeup, but i dont like beyonce and britneys hair, and jessica alba look better without; and kristen looks really tired.
October 26th, 2010 at 10:27 am
They always take the worse shots … For example some of them are really pretty with no make-up! Kristen Stewart is, Jessica Alba too and also Heigl…. but anyway!
November 19th, 2010 at 11:48 pm
OMFG WTF IS WRONG WITH AMY WINEHOUSE, LADY GAGA AND MADONNA?!?!?!?! THE REST ARE ACTUALLY OKAY
November 26th, 2010 at 9:46 am
Gaga and Winehouse look ugle with or without make-up, so no shcokers there
Longoria and Manson looks like NERDS without make-up! Longoria is almost unrecognisable without those full eyes and lashes!
What seems typical though, is that blondes tend to look uglier without make-up. Most of the latinas here look good with or without make-up, I think it’s because darker/toasty skin tends to cover skin flaws better than pale skin…
November 26th, 2010 at 9:48 am
Btw, Ashley Tisdale is not popular in my part of the world. I did not know who she was till I visited this website, and I must say, she comes across as a pretty girl to me!
November 26th, 2010 at 8:17 pm
Ashly T looks pretty good with and without make up..
November 26th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
madonna and amy winehouse look bad they need to keep the makeup on. pamela anderson dont look bad she look nice without makeup
November 27th, 2010 at 4:31 am
Manson looks more like Charles than Monroe.
the ladies’ biggest flaws are uneven skin, bags under the eyes, and lack of eyelashes but being in a bad mood may have more to do with it than anything else
Eva looks the most different from her usually presented self while kristen looks unchanged
November 29th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
This just makes me want to start wearing more make up…Maybe we can look like celebs, too!
November 30th, 2010 at 10:33 am
they took a real bad pic of beyonce… she look like a man… but i think jessica alba look real good without make up..
November 30th, 2010 at 10:34 am
oh ya and madonna looks like she had to many surgeries done on her face…
December 1st, 2010 at 7:11 pm
Ummm hello people? Madonna is over 60, that’s what’s up with her!
December 2nd, 2010 at 6:02 pm
Many of these celebrities actually are wearing makeup, it is just more subtley applied. For example, Tisdale, Mariah (she looked like this for the movie Precious, it was a ‘makeunder). Also, Cameron, Beyonce, Angelina and Gaga all have makeup on their faces. The pictures are probably just taken at unflattering angles or the makeup was not professionally applied.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:06 pm
WOW miley cyrus looks hidius. what ran her over??
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:07 pm
dang miley looks like a musk rat..anyone agree?
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:08 pm
a quick take on beyonce…she looks like a man
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:08 pm
lady GAGA..needs to put a bottle in her mouth and stay hidden under the blankets, ew
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:09 pm
britney=trash
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:10 pm
cameron diaz & drew barrymore is just another girl in the crowd awesome
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:11 pm
modona…thasts what happens when u dont stay a virgin..pound it
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 pm
jessica alba needs to spit out that gum and go apply some make up
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:13 pm
kristen steward trash
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:14 pm
pamala anderson…lazy boob LOL. wow
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:15 pm
hilary doofus…BIG SHOCK
December 17th, 2010 at 1:44 am
Some of these pictures are a real surprise. Its amazing how make up can enhance a girls beauty.
Eva Longoria is a really good looking girl with an amazing smile. Given a little makeup and a nice hair style makes a good looking girl look like a goddess.
December 20th, 2010 at 1:56 am
that picture of mariah cary is just from the movie precious!
December 21st, 2010 at 10:00 pm
Oh. My. God. Seriously no one should make fun of these women. They are gorgeous. These are just bad shots of everyone and I truly think its just terrible that they are putting these pictures on the internet. Women want to be viewed with their makeup, they way they do for us. And if you post what they don’t want to be seen as is just cruel. Also the people commenting! Imagine if you were a celeb and everyone was commenting on your photo without makeup making fun of you! One of these women could be on this page write now reading your coment!
December 28th, 2010 at 4:41 pm
dont make fun…y do we use makeup?? ok they use it 4 the same reason.. even tho idk wat to say about man gaga xD
December 30th, 2010 at 10:46 am
These pics prove something I have known for a very long time. Seeing regular girls in real life wearing just t-shirts and jeans or sweat pants, like college women, just walking or drinking coffee or putting coins in the meter with make up or not are thousands of times hotter then all of these “stars” to me, with the make up.
Even late teen and women in their 30s and very few in their 40s/Mom’s will always be more attractive to me. And when these normal everyday women wear those spandex leggings things, even when they have a few extra pounds (which I prefer, string beans and fat cows don’t really turn me on) is a bigger turn on then caking the make up on.
January 2nd, 2011 at 5:12 am
‘acceptions’? Seriously? EXCEPTIONS… Jeez… You shouldn’t be writing if you don’t know the English language… ‘Acceptions’ isn’t even a word.
January 7th, 2011 at 6:21 pm
argghh amy winehouse looks ewww!
January 9th, 2011 at 2:23 pm
Eh….almost everyone has makeup on? More natural than on the red carpet but still…
January 10th, 2011 at 7:14 pm
Lmao, some of you are complete retards. Don’t make fun of Manson just because he’s from a band that you Don’t like. And as for the girls on this list, they’re all retards for wearing so much make up. Why would you want to put whale blubber and other dead animals on your face? Just pisses me off. And a few of these are obviously fake, like how much their face stretches when they smile.
January 20th, 2011 at 9:48 am
Stars?! They are just regular people with lots of add-ons (expensive make-up, plastic surgery, clothing and photoshop).
January 26th, 2011 at 9:43 pm
uh – oh.. being natural is much better IMO…
February 3rd, 2011 at 9:20 am
blake lively.. hahahahaha. i never really like her and she’s just another forgettable girl without makeup
but angie, cameron diaz, drew barrymore, katherine heigl, and ash tisdale still look good !
February 3rd, 2011 at 5:58 pm
To sum up the comments, the girls that look best are the ones in their twenties and early 30′s (with the exception of Winehouse – goodness I worry for her health seeing that pic). Gee, how surprising!
February 7th, 2011 at 12:25 am
Eva Longoria is downright scary…she looks like Aunt Jemimah!
February 12th, 2011 at 5:13 pm
those who didnt look that great with out make up should stick to spray tans and all that other stuff that celebs use. some look good either way, but cmon people! of course the worst pics of celebs are chosen…think a little before you judge by one picture…think beofre you even judge.
February 17th, 2011 at 8:34 am
I think Pamela,hilary,jessica and eva all look refreshing and cute. Halle and katherine look tired but natural.Surprisingly in my opinion beyonce doesn’t look so good,.Angelina ouch!Drew barrymore ouch!
February 17th, 2011 at 4:30 pm
Most of them look like natural women, except Amy winehouse, who is 27… that photo can`t be true…
February 18th, 2011 at 1:20 pm
But some of these stars do have makeup…
February 23rd, 2011 at 6:34 pm
Miley Cyrus looks like a young kirk cameron with a wig.
February 23rd, 2011 at 10:49 pm
No…this is stars who got a picture taken at the EXACT wrong time/angle/lighting. at least many of them.
Doesn’t matter how naturally beautiful you may be, if someone is taking literally a picture of you every second every time you are out in public, occasionally one is going to be taken at just the “right” time to make you look far worse than you actually did at the time.
April 15th, 2011 at 4:48 pm
Those who look bad, just look bad.
Those who look normal, is more the pose they are in while the picture is being taken. Those who look good, were just born for life in lime lights.
Bad-winehouse, madonna, cameron, gaga
Normal-tisdale, manson, carey, Anderson, britney, lopez, beyonce, jolie, stewart, longoria, cyrus, barrymore
GOOD- berry, duff, Alba, hudgens, lively, Heigl
April 17th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
Jolie looks better without makeup ,half of this pics are photoshop any way.
April 26th, 2011 at 1:14 pm
WTF is an acceptation. Seriously.
May 15th, 2011 at 11:42 am
Vannesa Hudgens loooks like a monkey. xD
May 28th, 2011 at 6:44 pm
Pamela – Really?
“…there are a few acceptations”?
English as a second language? Spell check would have helped you here – so would idiot check. I’m guessing that you meant “there are a few “EXCEPTIONS.”
Oh, and you might want to look up “au naturel” while you’re at it.
June 1st, 2011 at 7:52 am
Marilyn Manson is the hottest as always without make up the rest are ugly mfs. Beyonce, Miley Cyrus etc look worse than aliens. Whoever their partner is, they are the unluckiest bastard in the world.
June 21st, 2011 at 2:43 pm
Angelina jolie looks like an alien regardless
June 21st, 2011 at 2:44 pm
hahaha i agree with monkey
June 27th, 2011 at 10:20 pm
all you women is butt ugly without makeup,,,,,christ….sombody put a bullet in winehouse already
June 27th, 2011 at 10:26 pm
and miley do some laps!i feel you should all be booked for fraud,just wrong…my dreams are shattered.:< why god?
June 27th, 2011 at 11:19 pm
sorry just had to respond to the girl saying she’s vanessa hudgens. you spelled your last name wrong.
thanks
July 9th, 2011 at 4:56 am
Thank heavens, they’re human!
July 24th, 2011 at 2:33 am
OMG!! You people are so mean!!
August 22nd, 2011 at 3:16 pm
I don’t care what you guys say, Manson is attractive with or without makeup.
A lot of these are the faces they’re making or the way they’re turned, or a bad angle. Of course people aren’t going to look good haha.
August 31st, 2011 at 1:36 pm
SUCK A BIG DICK EVERYONE
November 14th, 2011 at 1:40 am
Every woman have her good and bad days even if she is a famous actress and not always she’s going to look her best.But most of the time if she takes care of herself and use a good anti-aging product she will look her best even on the worst times…
April 15th, 2012 at 8:10 pm
um. ive seen naturally hotter people in the local super market.
May 1st, 2012 at 8:52 am
Oh my god.. This is the worst home page I have ever seen. Not because the stars do not wear make-up, but because over the half of the stars are actually wearing make-up on the pictures! Just because they do not have all their face “painted” in make-up, does not mean they do not wear it at all.
Many of you girls, who comment on this page – try to look at yourself and see how ugly YOU are without make-up. Most of the starts are actually beautiful without make-up, so stop the malicious comments.
June 12th, 2012 at 9:26 pm
ALMOST all of them look better without it…most of the pictures with makeup just make them look fake as hell…
July 13th, 2012 at 7:51 pm
[...] And I think one of the worst things about this whole issue is that, not only are we giving some self-righteous celebrities a platform for their narcissism where they now think that because of their fame and new found opinions ideas we should feel sorry for them when they get caught breaking the law, or give a damn about what they have to say, but it is taking women’s liberation back 50 years. It is reinforcing an idea fought hard against by the likes of my grandmother that we are nothing more than what we look like and what we reproduce. It is deprecating who we are as women and quite frankly, encouraging our brains to turn into mush! At the very least it is without question setting the wrong example for our girls; we now have a generation of girls who spend far more time on their appearance than any of my generation would have even dreamed of doing at that age, and who actually believe that the made-up/photoshopped/air-brushed within an inch of their life cover girls is an accurate representation of what they look like in real life. These magazines are strangulating our idea of what is beautiful and contributing to what I think is a massive increase in body image issues; they distort reality beyond recognition yet for the unassuming and unaware it seems real. So many women young and old believe that these people they hold up in such esteem, which appear to personify the closest thing to perfection on screen or on stage, actually look the same in real life. Yet this could not be further from the truth. [...]
September 1st, 2012 at 5:19 am
If I like them it’s because of their personality, so I’m not gonna judge them because they don’t look like Barbies without make-up.
… which leads me to this:
When we grow old we’re all (most likely) going to be ugly, so if you love someone because they have a good-looking body you’re probably going to be pretty depressed at the age of 75.
September 9th, 2012 at 1:28 am
MM looks good on both ;]
October 12th, 2012 at 3:10 pm
Makeup – Fake your looks.
November 14th, 2012 at 9:24 pm
Kristen looks lol the same, so hot.
November 29th, 2012 at 2:13 pm
