Makeup or Natural Beauty? 50 Celebs’ No Makeup Looks
Hollywood is the height of luxury and beauty in the minds of the masses. It has set the standards for attractiveness for decades, and we often have to remind ourselves that it’s just professional makeup and Photoshop to make ourselves feel better. However, sometimes inside all the glamour of the celebrity lifestyle, we stumble upon pictures of people going au naturel.
These unfiltered images of the gorgeous individuals can be shocking due to how great they look, even with all the flare and pomp that comes with being a member of an industry run by looks. We’ve assembled a list of the 50 most beautiful Hollywood celebrities caught without any products.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley – Age 34
The Mad Max: Fury Road actress is a beauty, to say the least. From the red carpet shots to the paparazzi pictures, all captured images of her are pure eye candy. It shouldn’t be a surprise that she is so gorgeous when she’s already been a Victoria’s Secret Angel!
Her skincare routine has been widely sought after and the subject of many interviews. Considering the smooth and radiant envy-worthy skin that she sports, the buzz is completely understandable. Exfoliation is the holy grail of beauty treatments, in her opinion. She kept busy as executive producer and actress in the recent TV series, Untitled Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Project.
Emma Watson – Age 31
The ever-relatable Emma Watson had troubles with her skin during puberty, just like all the rest of us. She is an ardent carer of her skin now and has a good skincare routine going. She uses gentle toners and cleaners, organic moisturizer, essential exfoliant, and a nine oil tonic to cleanse her skin and reduce sun damage. She only uses natural deodorants.
Considering the appearance of her skin even without makeup, we aren’t surprised that she has such a well-thought-out skin regime. She appeared in the 2020 short documentary titled Louisa’s Legacy: Little Women and Orchard House.
Kate Beckinsale – Age 48
At the age of 48, Kate Beckinsale manages to maintain her flawless looks. Her appearance has hardly changed since her Underworld days. She takes great care of her skin with micro-needling sessions and red light therapy every couple of months. She even uses pricy oils to make sure her skin is hydrated and smooth.
However, in all of this, the most important step is perhaps the layers of sunscreen that she reapplies throughout the day to ward off sun damage. Beckinsale stands behind blue scorpion venom-induced products that are supposedly anti-aging. You can see her in the 2021 film Jolt.
Alice Eve – Age 39
Alice Eve is a woman of beauty as well as substance. Her focus is on enhancing her skills just as much as it is on maintaining her looks.

Emily Blunt – Age 38
From The Devil Wears Prada to 2021’s Jungle Cruise, it seems that Emily Blunt has barely aged a day over 25. This is all thanks to the skincare routine that she fervently adheres to.
