You Might Want To Brace Yourself For These Celebs' ‘Real' Faces—They're Insane!

We’re used to seeing celebrities look red carpet ready, but quarantine has definitely changed that. Now, instead of getting picture-perfect for events, celebs are embracing the less glamorous side of stardom and posting plenty of makeup-free selfies in the meantime. That’s not all: They look even better sans makeup. Yes, really.

Don’t believe me? Keep reading to see the makeup-free Instagram posts from your favorite A-listers.

Ashley Benson

A post shared by Ashley Benson (@ashleybenson)

The Pretty Little Liars star is a natural beauty, and this post-workout selfie more than proves it. The 31-year-old shared this snapshot after a morning workout with Alo Yoga, a favorite exercise brand among celebs.

The photo not only shows off Benson’s toned bod, but also her stunning cheekbones and baby blues. Safe to say: she needs no makeup to accentuate her beauty.

Kristen Bell

The Good Place actress typically opts for understated makeup anyway, but in recent Instagram posts, she said goodbye to cosmetics altogether. Sharing a gym selfie, the 40-year-old looked like she found the secret for eternal youth. (If anyone knows her skincare routine, let me know.)

Maybe a post-sweat glow is the key to a perfect selfie after all.

Bella Hadid

As one of the world’s most famous models, it’s no surprise that Bella Hadid knows how to take a fire selfie. This one from vacation shows off her incredible bone structure and skinno makeup needed!

Plus, a few too many hours in the sun gave Bella the perfect blush. Although we’re not encouraging that tactic (please wear your sunscreen), you have to admit the 24-year-old can pull off a sunburn.

 

Gigi Hadid

Not to be outdone, Bella’s older sis Gigi looks just as gorgeous without a drop of makeup. The new mom showed off her modeling chops while sharing photos during her pregnancy, and we have to say it: no makeup looks great on her. In the photos, her skin looks completely flawless and her cheeks are perfectly rosy.

It’s safe to say that she mastered the famous pregnancy glow.

Kylie Jenner

Jenner is not known for her makeup-free selfies, but that doesn’t mean the reality star is a stranger to them either. These pictures prove that Kylie can embrace her natural beauty, especially when it’s time to hit the beach.

Although the 23-year-old usually overlines her lips and applies a couple hefty coats of mascara, she looks just as gorgeous (and a lot younger!) when she skips the makeup altogether.
