Everyone loves to pick up the tabloids which include pictures of celebrities without makeup. People have some sort of fascination with seeing celebrities at their worst. Possibly because they like to realize that without gobs of makeup, these celebs don’t look that much different than everyone else.

Countless web sites as well as magazines feature “stars without makeup” sections. They present these pictures as sort of a “gotcha”. Often these shots are taken while celebrities are walking to the grocery store, leaving the gym or relaxing on the beach. They are usually taken when they’re puffy or sweaty. The more flaws the camera can reveal, the better the picture.

These photos tend to hone in on older actors and actresses. When these stars are photographed in photo shoots for magazine covers, they look fantastic. They look much younger than they are in real life. Much of this is simply because makeup artists can work wonders on them. Also, professional photographers are extremely well versed in hiding flaws and taking advantage of lighting to make a person look as attractive as possible.

They really are Just Like Us

Well…not totally, but celebrities do need makeup much like we do to cover up flaws. They require concealer to hide facial blemishes such as red spots and zits. It really is amazing to look at celebrities without cover-up. Some stars, such as Alicia Silverstone, have moles or warts which are never visible on-screen. However, they stick out like a sore thumb whenever they aren’t covered up.

Eye makeup is a terrific way to highlight someone’s eyes. Average women also use eye makeup to make their eyes standout. When you take a look at a star that you’re not used to seeing without eye makeup, it’s amazing to see how small her eyes really are. Often celebrities, who we consider to have big, beautiful eyes, look like they have beady little eyes.

For most people, it’s nice to understand that stars without makeup are just as rough looking as average people without makeup. The next time you see a beautiful celebrity all glammed up, think about them without makeup and you won’t feel so bad about your own appearance.
