It's been a popular trend for celebrities to go makeup-free recently, and it’s refreshing for many of them. While many celebs don't need makeup to look gorgeous, going without it can empower them and their fans.

Going makeup-free shows that even without all the bells and whistles of makeup, celebrities are still beautiful and confident in their skin. It's a reminder to us that beauty comes from within.

Have you ever wondered how celebrities seem “picture perfect”? They think they capitalize on having an expert apply impeccable foundation, intricate eye makeup, and super-flattering lipstick.

Even if the expert isn't available, they can still acquire top-notch cosmetics. However, celebrities are just like us, and famous people, without their group of makeup artists, could look like any other girl. Social media makes it easy to find photos of female celebs without makeup.

Even with no makeup, they still look like a star. They prove that no one is perfect and that “beauty is not about the lightest skin. It’s about the kindest heart.”
