Celebrities are basically paid to look good. And whether it's on stage, on the big screen, or on the red carpet, they always have a ton of money - and professionals - to help them look better than the rest of us. We are used to famous people looking totally flawless, so it can be a bit of a shock when they post pictures of themselves with no makeup! But as the body positivity trend takes hold and more and more people embrace their natural beauty, celebs have jumped on the bandwagon and revealed just how great it is when you shed the mask and let the true you shine!

Jennifer Lopez

This Big Bang Theory star stunned the public when photo's of her without makeup hit the internet. While she looks beautiful either way, it's always a shock when you've only seen a person in full glam makeup and now they're barefaced. I think it's fair to say that this 30-year-old actress is gorgeous in both cosmetics and with no makeup at all. We can't expect her to be glammed up all the time!

Ariana Grande

If you're someone who dabbles in the world of makeup you may know how long it takes to get ready when trying to look your best. For Katy Perry, her image and looks are constantly changing and evolving. While it's a surprise to see her without her colorful hair and bold lips, she is beautiful while trying to take it easy at rehearsals as well! Plus, if my skin looked that good I don't think I would want to cover it in makeup all the time either!

Madonna

While this photo was clearly taken at an inopportune moment for this Gossip Girl actress, I think it's always a nice reminder that behind all the expensive skincare and makeup is a natural, beautiful woman. Everyone has bags and an uneven skin tone, so it's almost like a reminder to us non-celebrity women that it's okay to have those things! Even A-list celebrities have bad hair and makeup days ladies. You're still beautiful!

Kim Kardashian-West

This powerhouse singer is often recognized on the red carpet for glamorous makeup looks and bold lips. It's no surprise that underneath the eyeliner and lipstick is flawless skin and piercing eyes. It can be scary to show yourself to millions of people without a shred of makeup on your face, but this artist posted her selfie on Instagram and let the world see her in her barefaced glory.
