28 Photos Of Female Celebrities Without Makeup That Feel Refreshingly Unfiltered

There’s so much pressure on women to always look flawless, especially in the spotlight. Between Hollywood beauty standards, filters, and red carpet glam, it’s easy to forget that underneath it all, celebrities are just people too.

Seeing side-by-side photos of musicians and pop stars with and without makeup can feel surprising at first. Not because they look worse, just because they look real. And honestly, there’s something kind of refreshing about that.

These photos serve as a gentle reminder that everyone has pores and under-eye circles, and no one wakes up looking like they’re ready for a Vogue cover. Even the most prominent stars have bare face days, and that’s beautiful too.

The Twitter thread below features a mix of musicians and pop stars, but we’ve also included a few more famous faces. Actresses, performers, and public figures who weren’t in the original post but are equally worth seeing in a more natural light.

If you needed a little reminder today to go easier on yourself, let this be it.
