Not a day goes by without scrolling past a ‘perfect’ selfie of Kim Kardashian or a ‘flawless’ photo of Beyoncé while checking our Instagram feeds. We’re so used to seeing our favorite stars plastered with makeup, we sometimes forget that underneath it all, they too, are ordinary, normal-looking people.
Newsflash! Celebrities also have pale skin and dark circles under their eyes! It’s just that we don’t see it often enough to believe it.
These famous faces are constantly covered in makeup, we hardly get to see what’s underneath all that powder and lipstick. But we’re about to bring these fresh-faced stars to light. Feast your eyes on these photos of 40 celebrities without makeup…
1. Kim Kardashian
It’s great that makeup muse, Kim Kardashian allows herself to be seen without any makeup on. To be quite frank, the KKW Beauty queen looks a whole lot better makeup-free!
