Be it an A-lister or an average Joe. Makeup has the power to transform anyone's appearance into something quite different from who they truly are. Interestingly, many of our favorite celebrities and even close friends can speak to the detrimental effects of excessive use of cosmetics, as can. It's easy to see why so many people go to great lengths when it comes to applying a full face of makeup, not just to enhance their already attractive features but also to hide less appealing flaws.

It's interesting to note that this applies to some of our favorite stars. We've seen them in paparazzi images innumerable times and know something distinctive about them, but it's impossible to describe what it is. In seconds, it becomes clear that the problem is not the fact that they aren't wearing any makeup. This isn't to say that the women on this list aren't beautiful in their own right, but we also recognize that they're working in a profession that frequently necessitates heavy makeup. Because of this, we must pay attention to how different they appear when we get to see them in the wild.

Gabrielle Union

Fake eyelashes are a common sight in Being Mary Jane actress Mary Jane Watson. Her nude face has been on Instagram in the past. In this photo, you can see her freckles, which are typically covered up with foundation, in this photo! If she hadn't taken images like these, most people probably wouldn't have realized she had them. When it comes to the actress, one thing is constant: she always looks stunning. There's a good chance you'll see Union without makeup more often in the future.

For the first time in a while, she has taken to Snapchat to publish a photo of her face without any makeup or head-wrap. In this case, she's referring to the singer who just announced that she would no longer be wearing makeup in public. In Lenny's Letter, Keys published an article where she discussed her decision. If this is a revolution, I'm hoping for the best. There is nothing wrong with the way I look outside, but there is nothing wrong with the way I feel on the inside. Nothing." Some of the most well-known people in the world are beginning to join her revolution.

Lady Gaga

It's not uncommon for the singer and actress to go all out with her costumes and cosmetics. On the other hand, she's not afraid to show off her bare chest on Instagram. Even though she's practically unrecognizable, she radiates positivity in her flesh. Her self-assurance is one of her best-kept beauty secrets. In an interview with Momtastic, she said, "I'm confident in who I am." For the first time in my life, I'm not worried about having an answer for everyone who asks why I am the way I am. I've always strived to be that way. When I got famous, nothing changed."

Sofia Vergara

A full face of makeup is the norm for the Modern Family star. She has, however, demonstrated that she could look just as lovely without it. With a new visage, she also appears to be years younger. The actress has talked about her regimen and how she's an expert at it in the past. Because she knows what looks well on her and at her age, she's worn the same pair of sunglasses for much of her life, she told Redbook. Now that I'm older, I like brown eyeliner since black can be too much. In addition, I possess a million different goods," he continues.

Eva Longoria

The actress and producer always look great when she wears her makeup. On occasion, though, she has shown off her bare face to the public. Aside from that, she appears years younger without a hairstyle. You will be amazed when you learn that she can create many of her stunning looks herself. Pageant girls from Texas are known for their love of hairspray and makeup, so she told Glamour that she is a fan of both. What about the smokey eyes? The truth is, I believe it was a gift bestowed upon me at conception." She also discussed the methods she uses to maintain the radiance of her skin. "Genetics has a role, but so does upkeep. I often undergo unpleasant face treatments, including harsh peels, drying masks, and treatments with laser light.

Nicki Minaj

In the beginning, he wore brightly colored wigs and a lot of makeup. Since then, she's toned it down, but you can typically see her with a full face of makeup. However, she has published some old photos of herself with no makeup on, and she looks lovely in both cases. She's discussed her daily regimen before. She said Hello! Magazine, "I'm extremely into contouring to modify the curve of my face. For applying false eyelashes, I use a firm hand, lots of eyeliner, and no fear!" she said. "More is more for me!"

Megan Fox

As a result, she often sports a dramatic red lip and black eye makeup to accentuate her bright blue eyes. In addition, she's shown that she's just as beautiful without any cosmetics. When it comes to beauty, she follows the maxim "less is more." According to Girls Talkin Smack, "I strive to keep my makeup fresh on the red carpet, clean and lovely." To get my distinctive red lipstick look, I first apply a light foundation, followed by blush or even the same lipstick that I'm now wearing."

Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani's 2016 Billboard Music Awards performance was met with a less than enthusiastic reception as she decided to go in a new direction. Even though she's been criticized for looking too earthy and natural, we love it. And so did she, it seems. She began to show off her natural beauty, taking off her signature red lipstick, thick eyeliner, and mascara. If she does, we'll be thrilled.

Sofia Vergara

She looks extremely stunning without any makeup on, and it didn't take long for Sofia Vergara's millions of followers to get over their first astonishment. Her natural beauty is on full display, from her flushed cheeks to her bushy brows. Sofia is a natural beauty powerhouse. We had a hard time recognizing her since we were so used to seeing her on the red carpet with a face full of cosmetics. Now that we've seen it, we can declare that we're fans.

Miley Cyrus

Similarly, Miley Cyrus went through a period where she was all dolled up. Despite the occasional splash of red lipstick, it's reasonable to say that she's toned down her style significantly. And we're big admirers of it, as well. We're smitten with her raw beauty and can't wait to see more of it. This is a good sign that she's learned how to strike a good balance between her Hannah Montana days and her adulthood.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow's innate beauty has us completely smitten. The stunning woman has demonstrated time and time again that she is defiantly defying aging. A lot of cosmetics are no longer necessary to make her appear beautiful. For one thing, she looks stunning without it, too. We can only assume that her immaculate complexion results from drinking a lot of water, and now we're dying to find out what else she does to keep it that way.

Sofia Richie

Sofia Richie's relationship with Scott Disick has recently garnered much media attention. For those days when she doesn't wear cosmetics, we keep an eye out. We can't dispute that she's a stunning natural beauty, no matter what you think of her. Furthermore, even though her lover is well into his 30s, it's important to remember that she's still very much an adolescent. Because of this, we're not surprised that she retains her youthful and energetic shine.

AnnaLynne McCord

In no uncertain terms, the 90210 stars have demonstrated that superstars are just like the rest of us. While she used to walk the red carpet with her face uncovered, she's now known for uploading pictures of her pimple-ridden face on social networking sites like Instagram. It's an understatement to say she enjoys showing off her natural beauty without fear of being teased or humiliated by internet trolls. And it's fantastic! In her natural form, she is much more gorgeous than she appears.

Julianne Hough

The professional dancer and host have no choice but to let her admirers see her stunning figure, and we couldn't be happier that she does! Stars like Julianne Hough illustrate that they're just as beautiful (and often even more beautiful) without makeup. Without it, she appears radically different, but in a good way. Instead, it's more of a reviving and luminous appearance. She appears to be in good spirits, carefree, and completely at ease. The glammed-up version of her isn't necessarily what we're accustomed to seeing.

Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato is undeniably gorgeous. No matter how much of a glam rocker she is, she always manages to look like one of our favorite real-life celebs. That's simply more in keeping with her personality and who she is, in my opinion. We understand that Demi is a huge star and performer, but we prefer to see her without makeup.

Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens woke up like this, and we're so happy about it. Without makeup, she looks stunning. No blemishes can be seen on her skin, which is gleaming and flawless. We can admire Vanessa's natural beauty even though she has an outstanding glam team and can purchase the greatest skin care products money can buy (and even endorses some of them herself). This girl is one of our favorites.

Kate Upton

The supermodel Kate Upton has been sighted without any makeup on certain days. The paparazzi may have caught her, or she may have decided to let her admirers see her makeup-free via social media. Either way, we believe she looks stunning without it. While it's understandable that she'd require these for any large advertising campaigns she participates in, when she's simply hanging out and being Kate, she's stunning even without any makeup.

Amy Schumer

How could I not know she was that stunning without any makeup on? It's hard to disagree with us when we say that Amy Schumer looks stunning when she goes without makeup, even though the comedian has compared herself and a WWE wrestler in the past. We're confident that her glam crew will use only the highest-quality products to give her a stunning radiance. However, we'd love to see Amy without makeup for a more natural appearance.

Cameron Diaz

Oh, Cameron Diaz is such a star. While we like her natural features, it might be difficult to discern if she's still sobbing in some of her photos. Regardless of whether she wears makeup or not, her eyes have always had the appearance of piercing right through you. Even though she appears very different without her, we'd know her if we saw her at the grocery store or the mall without her makeup on. Because if a celebrity decided to go makeup-free, they would be recognized visiting venues like these.

Kristen Stewart

As a result of her innate attractiveness, the breakthrough star of the Twilight series has never been without a boyfriend. For the simple reason that she looks stunning without it. However, Kristen Stewart has never been a fan of getting all dolled up and prefers a more casual approach. However, we like her when she goes all-in and refuses to wear any makeup. Even if she's not concerned about who sees her or what magazine she ends up in, we believe those days she's most confident in her natural beauty.
