It may be difficult to imagine the looks of a celebrity without make up. However, thanks to internet you can now see some of the celebrities without make up. You simply need to type 'celebrities without makeup' in your search engine and you will be led to hundreds of sites that will show you the actual looks of many celebrities.
It is true that makeup does wonders to your looks, and an average celebrity looks worse without her makeup. However, this cannot be generalized. There are quite a few celebrities like Penelope Cruz, Drew Barrymoore, Halle Barry and Alicia Silverstone, who examine beautiful even without make up.
Celebrities spend fortunes on their makeup not for nothing. They want to appear gorgeous as long as the light of fame is focused on them. They pay their stylists and makeup artists to look excellent, without perhaps realizing that most of them would recognize suited anyway.
We could also be perhaps mistaken in comparing a celebrity with and without makeup snaps as the pictures are most often deceptive. The quality of a snap shot depends on a number of factors like the qualities of light, camera, focus and lens man.
This is of course not to deny that good makeup and good photo do make a world of disagreement to the overall look of a celebrity, as perhaps to any one.
Alicia Silverstone looks beautiful even without makeup but a closer look reveals her oily skin with acne. Hilary Duff looks fresh and younger without makeup. Kirsten Dunst appears vivacious and satisfied even without makeup. A light makeup might perhaps add to her zest.
Some of the celebrities might appear quite different without their make up. Britney Spears is almost unrecognizable without her makeup. The quality of her skin is poor with acne. You may have to watch Cindy Crawford from very close distance to recognize her, when she is without makeup.
While celebrities can rarely dare to face the world and camera without makeup for the fear of drop in their popularity value and image, they might surely be aware of the associated health hazards that go with beauty products.
On June 7, 2004 Environmental Working Group released "the results of a study of 7,500 brand-name products on a free website (www.ewg.org) that for the first time lets consumers learn what chemicals are in their soap, shampoo, toothpaste and other products. The website provides product rankings of known and probable health hazards associated with ingredients in each of the 7,500 products assessed, including information on ingredients linked to cancer and reproductive harms."
We may even feel proud to learn that the 71- year old Queen monarch appeared on TV to deliver Christmas Message, shunning special makeup tricks, unlike stars who would never want their creases to be caught up by high definition TV cameras. According to a Buckingham Palace Spokeswoman, "The Queen did not make any spend of special make-up for HD television. She had the same stylists and make-up as she usually has, it was unprejudiced as normal. Those who watch the programme will see her as she is."
