For years, celebrities have hit red carpets with their wildest outfits and fiercest faces. They became the inspiration for both professional and amateur makeup artists, and many started their own beauty lines or collaborated with big names like Maybelline and Revlon.
More recently, however, they have started to ditch their foundation and powder for fresher faces.
Whether it's at awards shows or using hashtags like #nomakeup, celebrities are showing the world that they aren't that perfect. They're just really, really close to it.
Here's what 34 celebrities look like without makeup:
