18 Celebrities Without Makeup on (Warning: They All Look Gorgeous)

We love getting glammed up as much as the next gal, but our skin breathes a sigh of relief every time we go au naturel. Whether it’s a conscious beauty choice or the result of a snoozed alarm clock, the no-makeup look is becoming a go-to trend in Hollywood.

From Katie Holmes to Gabrielle Union, scroll down to see 18 stunning celebs who sported the barefaced look on Instagram.

1. Katie Holmes

Fresh-faced even without makeup? Must be all that Creek water.

2. Gwyneth Paltrow

Or that organic, holistic, all-green-everything lifestyle.

3. Lady Gaga

Don’t mind her 128.54-carat diamond necklace, which was previously worn by Audrey Hepburn.

4. Jennifer Lopez

Featuring her 11-year-old twins, Emme and Max.

Those cheekbones though.

11. Gwen Stefani

Even without her signature red pout, there’s (ahem) no doubt that Gwen is still absolutely stunning.

12. Ashley Graham

She captioned the post, “Freckle face.”

13. Bella Hadid

These girls have really (really) good genes.
