21 Celebs Who Post Fresh-Faced, Makeup-Free Instagrams
There's something so intriguing about seeing our favorite celebrities without makeup. It's part of their job description to look perfect at all times. Red carpet events: flawless. Grabbing coffee on the street: flawless. Just about anywhere you see your favorite celebrities, they've spent hours on their appearance. If ever there's an opportunity to get a peek at just one slight imperfection, you can't help but take it. Why? Because that means maybe just maybe they too struggle with the same beauty concerns we do.
Yes, that goes for Beyoncé too. Especially Beyoncé!
Or maybe it's because we just want to see if these stunning celebs look just as good once the lipstick (and foundation, and blush, and mascara) comes off. From this side of the screen, we'd say they do!
Click through the slideshow above to unveil the true faces of Hollywood's biggest, most beautiful stars. Now you grab that makeup remover and show us how flawless you are!

Photo: Instagram2/22We’ll go ahead and crown Demi Lovato the queen of makeup-free selfies. The superstar is such a fan of giving her skin a break, she championed #NoMakeupMonday, a challenge on Twitter and Instagram. Go ahead and search the hashtag. It’s something like a phenomenon.
Photo: Instagram3/22As much as we love Kylie Jenner for her wild hair colors and bold makeup ideas, we kind of adore this natural look of hers. Seriously, that skin? Come on!
Photo: Instagram4/22Lady Gaga takes such gorgeous selfies that her photos were #Instajacked by beauty brand Shiseido for an ad campaign in Japan. Our favorite goes to this one, taken on what she calls a "Monster Morning".
Photo: Instagram5/22Kaley Cuoco claimed she needed hair and makeup "badly" in this shot, but we're into her bedhead!
Photo: Instagram6/22Ashley Tisdale’s no-makeup snapshot makes us wonder if she really ever needs to wear makeup at all…
Photo: Instagram7/22Lea Michele posted this #riseandshine photo earlier this month. What would we caption the photo? #BrowsonFleek!
Photo: Instagram8/22Once you get past the adorable kitty in Nina Dobrev’s photo, get a glimpse of that clear, radiant skin. So purrrty. (Sorry, we couldn’t help it.)
Photo: Instagram9/22We were almost more surprised by Katy Perry’s makeup-free selfie than by her crazy hair colors and bright makeup looks. Nice to see that her skin isn’t rebelling against her performance makeup.
Photo: Instagram10/22Doesn’t Miley Cyrus’s skin look particularly glowy? She loves posting pics in face masks, and they’re clearly working for her!
Photo: Instagram13/22Off the runway, Cara Delevingne strips the makeup off and puts her brows on full display.
Photo: Instagram14/22Something about cuddling with pets makes celebs like Zendaya want to go makeup-free. (Wo)man’s best friend FTW!
Photo: Instagram15/22Ever wondered what Lorde really looks like beneath that porcelain, matte makeup and those vampy lip shades? Voila! And look what she’s revealed: brows so bold we can’t figure out how we missed them all this time! We’d recommend swapping the deep lipsticks for a neutral palette, putting those killer brows on front street.
Photo: Instagram16/22Just when we were starting to think Taylor Swift was born in that signature red lip-cat eye combo, she shows us what she really looks like first thing in the morning—equally beautiful.
Photo: Instagram17/22Bella Thorne’s always been one to stick with a natural makeup palette, and we can see why. Her naturally pink undertones create a tint on her lips and cheeks so rosy, there’s no need to add much on top.
Photo: Instagram18/22The theory that frequent fliers tend to suffer from dry skin just doesn’t seem to apply to Gigi Hadid, whose skin glows whether she’s miles high or on the runway.
Photo: Instagram19/22Between her fashion gigs and off-the-runway appearances, you can find Kendall Jenner in a face full of makeup more often than not. But even supermodels need a day off from foundation and concealer!
Photo: Instagram20/22It comes as no surprise that Selena Gomez’s skin is just as stunning when she’s off-duty as it is when she’s on the red carpet. Paired with her natural hair texture, her au naturel look is just dreamy.
Photo: Instagram21/22Ellie Goulding’s complexion is almost the exact shade of her golden hair—both equally glossy (in a good way!).
Photo: Instagram22/22We go back to the Lizzie McGuire days with Hilary Duff, and we have to say—not much has changed when it comes to her skin! It’s just as smooth and blemish-free as her Disney days. We can only cross our fingers for the same luck.
