Face Off! Celebs Au Naturale

We are used to seeing Lady Gaga with a ton of outlandish makeup to match her equally wild wardrobe, but what do you think about the October Harper’s Bazaar cover set to hit newsstands September 27th featuring the young starlet bare faced and au naturale? I think she looks great, and I love how she’s putting herself out there in her most raw form.

Check out these other photos of celebs without makeup on. Although their naked faces caught by paparazzi weren’t an intentional statement like Gaga’s Bazaar cover, it still goes to show that celebs in their natural, unglamourous state (without the help of a stylist or makeup artist) look a lot more like you and me. How refreshing!

You’re not perfect, and that’s okay!

Hey everyone!

Do you ever have those days when you feel less than perfect? When you flip through magazines and wish you could look as gorgeous or as handsome as the models and celebrities that grace the pages of People, Vogue, Glamour, or Cosmo?

They’re not as flawless as you think.

Those images are photoshopped and create an unrealistic and warped representation of reality that a lot of young, impressionable people aspire to.

No bueno.

I mean, I’m a model, so my photos are edited too, and I’m aware of that. I think the important thing is for people to realize that the images they see are not 100% the real deal.

Check out these before and after photos of male and female celebrities and models to see what I mean.

Female Celebrities
