20 Bare-Faced Celebrities Doing Their Part To Show The World We Don't Need Makeup To Look Beautiful
Some of our favorite Hollywood stars are fighting back against toxic beauty standards.
For celebrities, being flawlessly beautiful at all times is important. After all, they never know when they will be snapped by the paparazzi or if they will be recognized or approached by fans.
So, it's not often that we see our favorite stars looking less than perfect. But believe it or not, they are merely flawed humans, just like us.
Even though celebrities have access to the best stylists and makeup artists around, many of them are proudly showing the world their true selves, bare skin and all. Some of our favorite Hollywood stars are fighting back against toxic beauty standards, and they want us to know that we can still be beautiful without makeup.
Now, let's be honest: these celebrities are blessed with good genes to start with, so it's not surprising that underneath all the makeup and glam, they still look stunning. However, the message these celebrities want us to hear is that we are all beautiful, imperfections and all.
When we take away all the makeup and fancy clothes, what's left is a true representation of who we really are. And guess what? That person is beautiful!
Singer Alicia Keys famously gave up wearing makeup entirely in 2016. Alicia said she had become addicted to wearing makeup and had an unhealthy attachment to it that she wanted to break.
For several years, Alicia didn't wear any makeup, even on stage. Nowadays, the star has begun wearing makeup again, but only in ways she feels comfortable with, and she will often still go fresh-faced.
We've compiled a list of 20 stars who proudly show their makeup-free faces to the world. Keep scrolling to see who made the list.

What do you think of all these stunning stars without makeup? We find it refreshing to see our favorite celebrities looking like everyday people.
After all, that's exactly what they are, right? They're just imperfect people like us who happen to have very glamorous jobs and lifestyles.
Okay, they may have access to the very best skincare, orthodontics, and personal trainers, but they're still just real people with real flaws.
Let's face it: the beauty standards that we're expected to live up to today are nothing short of ridiculous. Even some of Hollywood's biggest stars can't reach that level of perfection, which is why many turn to Photoshop and filters.
It's time to get rid of the unrealistic expectations we place on celebrities (and ourselves). Let's take a lesson from the stars on this list and let our inner beauty shine bright!
