Spotting Your Favorite Singers Without Makeup
Posted by William Badger under: Health-Beauty .
We all love to see our favorite celebrities in makeup and dressed to the nines. We revel in their public shining glamor, but we can’t seem to get enough of the intimate and personal details of their private lives. They are normally only caught in their day to day home lives with out their makeup. There are photographers that spend their entire career snapping pictures of musicians, models and movie stars without their makeup on.
Seeing our favorite stars all made up and with their hair done is something we get used to. Initially, it catches us by surprise when we see them without makeup. Once the hair and makeup are removed stars’ appearances change tremendously. When they are wearing their makeup you get the full visual brilliance. With no makeup most of them look just like us.
On their faces are flaws; warts, discolorations, and pimples can be seen without them. Once the makeup is off, Melissa Gilbert doesn’t have that envious perfectly toned face. She isn’t the only person who appears dramatically different. Take a closer look at those pictures next time and you will see just how different they look.
Goldie Hawn and other more mature actresses often show up in the photos. The ageless appearance onscreen disappears without the makeup. Actresses and musicians with no makeup look just like the rest of us plain people. If they don’t get their hair touched up when they do the makeup you will see some gray.
Can you picture your most cherished singer with no makeup? What about Kiss? You can’t forget the wonderful times of all the great bands and the charming makeup. Bands that wear heavy makeup like Kiss and Poison are almost unrecognizable without theirs. Once the make up is off, it is obvious that they are men. The difference is amazing, no longer are the faces completely hidden under perfect makeup, the flaws all show. It’s amazing to see Gene Simmons out of makeup, he almost doesn’t look like the man in KISS! Remember Boy George from the 80’s, you would not even recognize him as the same person now as he works as a dance DJ at a hot London Club and with the Ministry of Sound. Having a white stripe of makeup across his face is how Adam Ant used to present himself. This can be a surprise to see them with no makeup on.
Celebrities with no makeup help our self confidence. They are all airbrushed and painted on magazine covers mostly but the times they aren’t made up make the rest of us feel better. Looking through magazines and seeing the models all made up can sometimes make us feel self conscience about the way we look. When looking at those photographs, it’s easy to forget that we are fine the way we are. That is, until they appear to use with no makeup on.
We don’t feel the need to be quite so perfect once we see their flaws. They have acne and skin conditions just like all of us. They even have laugh lines and wrinkles. You feel better about yourself already don’t you? Yes you do. You know now that this is all an illusion.
Next time you look at the cover of some glamour magazine just smile and know that you are just like them. You just don’t have a professional makeup artist in your bathroom waiting to make you look perfect every morning. If you were provided with this luxury you would look amazing all the time too.
