As a celebrity, it's impossible to get out of the limelight. On set, on stage, and surrounded by fans and cameras, the pressure to look perfect never ends. Even on an off day, when they want to scream and be just another normal person, the outside world is waiting. The paparazzi are circling, ready to snap that horrible photo of them with fries stuffed in their mouth. Or wearing socks and sandals. Or worst of all, without makeup. You may smirk at these photos, or you might feel sorry for the poor celebs. But before you start laughing, just remember: on most days, we probably all look just like them.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian
Yet even with the crush of cameras surrounding her every move, there is the odd unguarded moment. A moment where, seemingly without thinking, she appears without her trademark highly sculpted look. And yet somehow, even when the makeup is missing and her hair is all over the place, she still looks fabulous. In a way, it's a reminder that she's just like us
Scarlett Johansson
How does she do it? To start with, she's lost none of that natural, girl-next-door allure that made us fall in love with her in the first place. Even without the glossy, accentuated lips, thousand dollar dresses, and perfectly coiffed hair, she has a radiance that few can match. To be honest, it's shocking just how great she looks without makeup.
Olivia Wilde
Given all that, it would be understandably tough to balance the superficial needs of Hollywood with the desire to live a simple, responsible life. Luckily, Olivia handles it with aplomb. When the makeup comes off, she loses none of that inner confidence and glow. The smile helps, of course - it says "why can't I have it all?" And let's not forget about her beautiful eyes, with or without makeup.
Rihanna
There are some off days, of course. Maybe she's been in the studio for a few long months, or maybe she's working on a new secret fragrance, or designing another fashion range for Armani. Either way, it's only natural that she'd be caught without her stage face. But even when that happens, when her hair's tied up messily and she's forgotten the rouge, she looks fab. Somehow she makes cool look casual.
Sofia Vergara
It's no secret, too, that Colombians love to get dolled up, and Sofia is rarely seen with less-than-perfect makeup. It's so infrequent, in fact, that when she doesn't have it on, she looks like a completely different person. Gone is the gloss, the highlights, and the sparkling eyes. Deep down, though, she's still Colombian. Still gorgeous.
Adele
Well, look. It's true that that cardigan, or tablecloth, or whatever it is, is unforgiveable. And the expression on her face doesn't exactly look like the huge grin of a woman worth upwards of $70m. In fact, she looks exactly like a person who's realized exactly what they look like on a bad day. But we feel you, Adele. We look like that most of the time.
Anne Hathaway
And not just in the movies. Anne manages to easily adapt to real life. Without her trademark ruby-red lips and blush, her natural features still shine through. She doesn't need long, luscious hair to show off her iconic beauty. Cover it with a beanie and snap her picture at just the wrong time, and she can still look more stylish than the rest of us.
Beyonce
Away from the crowds, she's no different. She might look a little bit tired, and her eyebrows might not be perfectly plucked, but Beyoncé still has that inner fire and incredible hair that turned our heads in the first place. Her publicly rocky relationship with Jay-Z might make it sound like her love life is one big disaster zone, but one look at that face will tell you that she's a lady who has really got it together.
Cameron Diaz
While she continues to surprise and delight us with her ability to shine in almost any role, she also surprises us by just how gracefully she's aged. After 44 years and hundreds of screen appearances, she's just as good-looking when the theatre paint comes off. With those piercing blue eyes and adorable cheeks, it's no wonder she's snagged the likes of Jared Leto, Justin Timberlake, and Benji Madden.
Khloe Kardashian
Her most singular achievement, though, might be marrying NBA star Lamar Odom only a month after meeting him for the first time. One month! There must have been some magic in the air. Or maybe it's just that she looks so gosh darn cute. Even without makeup, when most of us look like a bad passport photo, she's still someone you want to snuggle up to on the sofa. Other people might make rude appearances, but we're not going to. We'll just bring the popcorn and some blankets.
Lady Gaga
But we've found proof that she's not just glamorous on the stage. That she was actually born that way. The real Lady Gaga may not have the fishnets and lack of pants, but she makes up for the raunchiness by being simply lovely. Her soft pale skin and jet-black hair remind us of some of our best high school friends. The ones you'd meet out for a movie, then burgers and shakes afterwards. Meet us at the mall, Stefani?
Demi Lovato
The only thing is, we're not all that sure that she even is under any stress. I mean, look at those photos. Can you tell which one is with makeup, and which one is without? Have you ever seen a celebrity with more flawless skin and fewer worry-lines? If anything, we think she should be doing more work in 2017. She's making us look bad.
Emma Stone
Illustrious magazine Vogue has complimented her on her "sophisticated, perfectly put-together looks". They're not the only ones to sit up and take notice. People, FHM, Men's Health, and Esquire have all placed her on "Most Beautiful" lists. If you look at the pictures, it's no wonder. Even when she's out and about, without makeup and with a casual outfit thrown together, she somehow manages to look like a few million dollars.
Gisele Bundchen
The modeling industry has its fair share of fakers and wannabes, but Gisele is not one of them. Without the usual team of makeup artists and sculptors, she's still a 100% genuine supermodel. They can do whatever they like with their brushes and blow-dryers, but all they're doing is polishing a diamond. It might be shocking to us to see her "au naturel", but that's only because she's still ravishing.
Jennifer Lawrence
Because she still looks good. She may be the highest paid actress on the planet, and she may donate more to our fellow humans than we ever will, but she's still down to earth, witty, and genuine. There's a certain attitude that it takes when you're caught on camera walking down the street with a soda in hand. Her face more or less sums it up: "I'm gorgeous. Deal with it."
Kylie Jenner
This is actually one of those odd moments where a woman's beauty is diminished by lathering on the face paint. We're not saying it's terrible, or that she's too young for it. It's just that she's a beautiful, healthy-looking girl who doesn't have any need for all that. She should be worrying about crushes and exams, not lash length and lip shade. We want to let you in on a secret, Kylie: we all love you anyway.
Jennifer Lopez
And then there's the other photo we dug up. The one where we stopped being fooled by the rocks that she got. She sits there at her makeup table, just a simple multimillionaire and hypnotic dancer, ready to take on the world. She's smiling because she's rich, dazzling, and talented. She's happy because she still knows where she came from. Right out of our dreams.
