Plenty of famous faces are only recognizable
under a layer of artfully applied makeup, meaning rare au naturel snapshots are a shock
to fans used to seeing their favorite stars all dolled up on the red carpet. "You probably had a funny looking face, and
then you fixed it by putting, I dunno, some types of products and everything and now it's
like 'ah okay.'" Here's how a few celebs look without their
game-changing makeup. Madonna Though Madonna has gone through multiple transformations
since she first hit the music scene in the '80s, one thing is for sure: we rarely get
a glimpse at the queen of pop without makeup. But in September 2017, Madonna gave us a rare
look at her makeup-free life off-camera, and surprisingly, it's super relatable … except
for the part about trying to convince customs agents you're one of the most famous women
in the world. Cardi B It seems like Cardi B's fame came out of nowhere. She started gaining traction on Instagram
and appeared on Love & Hip Hop: New York in 2015, and by 2017 was a history-making female
rapper. These days, she's most often seen living the
dream in heavy makeup, but in October 2017 she posted a makeup-free video on Instagram,
giving us a look at the girl underneath the glam. Priyanka Chopra There's no denying the actress and pageant
winner is oozing with natural beauty, but it's rare we get a chance to recognize it
because we're used to seeing her on set and at red carpet events. That's why this photo she shared of her and
her sleepy dog is such a treat! Mariah Carey She's the definition of diva in every way,
from her voice to her personality. And as a diva, Mariah Carey is naturally often
done up to the nines, including a full face of makeup. She shockingly shared a makeup-free photo
of her post-swim sesh as a humbling reminder that yes, she's perfect without makeup also. Portia de Rossi Like most stars, we most often see this actress
and one-half of a celeb power couple all glammed up. But even celebs need their downtime, which,
as de Rossi posted on Instagram, means spending time in nature with a horse. Emmy Rossum Unlike her Shameless character, Emmy Rossum
is the epitome of glam. She told AOL in 2014 she has a, quote, "fashiony
persona." And it's true, she definitely has that high
fashion look. But this toned down photo proves her good
looks are totally natural. Sofia Richie It's easy to forget just how young Richie
actually is when we're so used to seeing her with a full face of makeup. However, this Instagram photo is a good reminder
that even though she's already a Hollywood bigshot, she's still really just a kid. Kaley Cuoco Part of Kaley Cuoco's character on The Big
Bang Theory's quirkiness comes from her striking good looks. But in real life, Cuoco isn't afraid to spend
some makeup-free quality time in nature. Lucy Hale There are two thing Lucy Hale is best known
for: Pretty Little Liars and her eyebrows. While the show might be over now, this makeup-free
photo she shared on Instagram is proof that her eyebrows aren't going anywhere any time
soon. Jenna Marbles Whether you follow Jenna on Instagram, YouTube,
or both, you'll know she's not afraid to experiment with some wild and crazy hair colors and makeup
looks. But she's also not afraid to poke fun at herself,
which she did with one of her earliest YouTube videos, which starts off with a rare look
at her sans makeup. Katie Holmes She's is usually very put together, but in
2005 Katie Holmes was seen sporting some serious cold sores while shopping in Hollywood. A good reminder that even the most glam and
successful celebrities are imperfect human beings, just like us. In 2012, Holmes and Tom Cruise split. Judging by the bags under her eyes in this
photo, taken in 2013, the breakup took a bit of a toll on her. We've all been there, Katie. Thanks for watching! Click the List icon to subscribe to our YouTube
