We’ve seen them all glammed up on the red carpet but it’s always refreshing to see celebs when they haven’t spent hours in the makeup chair. Before a big event, stars might look just like us!
Unbrushed hair, no make-up and maybe even a crease on their cheek from sleeping (or is that just us?), but that all changes once their glam squad enters the frame. Although some celebs confess to doing their hair or makeup themselves (if you’ve got it, flaunt it we say) but we can’t blame someone for turning to the professionals when it comes times to get red carpet ready.

Sylvia Jeffreys has been super real about her makeup transformations in the past!
Celine Dion
Celebrating her adorable twin boys’ 7th birthday(s), Celine shares a rare, laidback look into family life – and the fact she’s not wearing any make-up speaks to our souls.
Britney Spears
Introducing the self-dubbed real Britney Spears sans make-up. “On days where I don’t get primped and made up for my show, this is the real unglammed me,” she wrote on Instagram. “I call this my morning coffee at home look ☕️ #NoMakeupMonday if you don’t count the leftover mascara under my right eye…”
Chrissy Teigen
Though we’re used to seeing her all dolled up, Chrissy Teigen proves her natural beauty in this no-makeup Instagram snap. The colourful photo, presumably taken from her and John’s family trip to Bali, shows the model dressed down in nothing but a $1095 Gucci headband.
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez showed the reality of stage life, sharing a video of exactly what she does (and looks like) before the curtain goes up. “So this is what it’s like before the show… I sit here no hair, no make up, no nothing,” Jlo said of her chilled-out look. “Just trying to get mentally prepared, to give you all I have.” In other words, JLO is all of us getting ready for an extended family dinner…
Jennifer Lopez no make up video
Lisa Wilkinson
Lisa Wilkinson always looks amazing on-screen, but she looks equally fab off-screen too – this image shared to her Instagram is case in point!.
Even at some ungodly hour of the morning, Today show host Sylvia Jeffreys looks positively flawless. Before the show’s hair and makeup team got her all done up ready to go on air at 6am, Sylvia posted this pic on her Instagram Story of her fresh face. Then just over an hour later, she’d been transformed…
Drew Barrymore
Honestly, who hasn’t been here?! Drew Barrymore‘s bushy brows sing to us in this candid Instagram post because it seems that celebs aren’t quite so different to us mere mortals after all. “OH MY GOD How did I let it get this bad?’ she captioned the pic. We feel you, Drew. We. Feel. You.
Simply incredible… at that time of the day you’re likely to see us with birds-nest hair and last night’s face mask still half on. Kudos to you, Sylvia.

Kim Kardashian, 36, has taken to Instagram Live to show her fans how to achieve her famously flawless contour application — and in case you’re wondering, it takes around 12 minutes and includes nine steps. The result? Stunning. But, the takeaway? The reality star is stunning with or without makeup.
Sofia Vergara
Sofia Vergara shares a “I’m so deep in thought” photo while celebrating the New Year on holiday.
Sick in bed with a rising temperature, Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara snapped this fresh-faced selfie and, despite fighting off a cold, still looks incredible (and cute!). “Hm… I just realised that 102 fever gives u the perfect shades of pink. I need this colors,” she wrote on Instagram, CCing in cosmetics giant Covergirl. Hopefully they listen because we’d buy this shade of blush in a heartbeat.
Heidi Klum
Heidi Klum looked stunning on the red carpet (can you believe she is 43?!) but before she got all dolled up she posted this no makeup selfie to her Instagram, thanking her glam squad “Before and after #grammys 💋🎤🎤🎤🎤😃 @lindahaymakeup @wendyiles_hair”
New mum Olivia Wilde shared this cute photo with her husband and daughter, looking fresh-faced and glowing. How does a sleep-deprived new mum look this amazing. No really, how?
