Let's face it, we pretty much never see our favorite celebrities without makeup because it's a part of their job to look flawless every time, on or off the camera. But have you ever wondered what they actually look like without all the layers of professional makeup? Well, as we actually weren't suprised to find out (when we saw all their photos), all our favorite stars still looked gorgeous (even more so) even without all the beauty products slathered on their faces! Since posting a selfie sans makeup is a major no-no in this day, we wanted to inspire you to show off your natural beauty with legit no-makeup self-portrarits from all our favorite celebs! Check them out and find out below why we challenge you to do the same.
