Make-up does do wonders. I’m just depressed that Halle Berry (is that how you spell it?) is still gorgeous in her “without make-up” shot. How sad. :)

Ya know, I thought exactly the same thing. Halle Berry looks great even without make-up. The rest really need it though.

Yes, most celebs are worse than average without their makeup. But to be fair, a lot of these were just bad pictures. Even the most beautiful person could look bad if they have a picture taken at a bad angle, or if they are sick.

i agree with you brainiac… it could be the angle too.. though some celebrities do admit to having really bad skin (like cameron diaz).. in that case make up does wonders.. but i still think penelope cruz is still beautiful without makeup.. as well as drew barrymore and alicia silverstone.. but yes, halle berry is still gorgeous sans make up!

Pictures can make anyone look bad. This video is interesting because you don’t expect celebrities to look bad. It helps make them more human.

It’s good to know that cosmetic can works wonders on our face. A art though :P

I think a lot of them still look good without makeup. Sometimes it’s just the expression, lighting and the angle…. but the women themselves are still beautiful. No one should feel better seeing these pictures, imo that’s pretty low. And no one should feel badly seeing that Halle Barry is still beautiful sans makeup.

In response to Sandy, expressions, lighting, angles and so forth DO make the pictures look good or bad. This can be applied to me as well as celebrities, so I can feel good about that.

Ok SOOOO to everyone sayin Halle Barry looks great without makeup compared to the others might want to take a closer look cuz shes wearing makeup. Its just a more “natural” look. And alot of them ARE wearing makeup but since they are like everyone said bad lighting bad angels and they werent expecting it some have wierd expressions on their face.

Some of these “before” pictures are taken from movies, too. That horrible picture of Charlize Theron was taken right out of her movie, “Monster”. She was actually made up to look that bad.

But like others have said, these people probably look just fine with no makeup, under normal circumstances. But only the ones with really bad angles or lighting, or the ones where someone happens to be putting food in their mouths, are shown.
