Don't even ask how I ended up looking at stars without makeup but I did and it's jaw dropping

The transformations can be beyond belief. I had no idea how much makeup can alter appearance.

1. Reece still looks good even after the accident.

But I agree...some of them are SUCH a difference. Some of them even look BETTER without all the goop. But the others....

6. Nicolette Sheridan's transformation is absolutely unbelievable. The

no makeup photo is shocking as is Fergie's, Christina Hendrick's and Katy Pery's. A lot of them look like they got their makeup advice from trannies.

2. Take away the black eye...

Reese isn't bad looking at all except for the black eye, which isn't her fault.

8. A lot of them look great without makeup. Some are transformed into drag queen

lookalikes. I perhaps should have stated in the OP that the dramatic hanges are not necessarily for the better.

3. Why would you put make-up on to look at the stars?

More than half of those ladies look as good or better w/o make-up taking into account smiling/grimacing and the angle/lighting.

11. My thoughts exactly.

I was expecting a vast sky shot depicting millions of stars that you can't see with the thick make-up obstructing your vision. I agree most look far better with nothing between the camera and a smile.

4. Reese Witherspoon still looks pretty to me, despite the black eye

I can't seem to get the rest of the gallery (85 images?) to load.

Maybe my Javascript is hosed.

5. They just look tired.

Seeing as how I can't sleep I'll probably look like that tomorrow too.

9. True for some but others like Katy Perry, makeup utterly changes them.

7. If you want jaw dropping illusion, look no further than most political candidates

10. I don't understand the fascination with that plastic homogenized look..

That amount of makeup is for drag queens, and even them not so much.

12. I so agree. Some makeup is nice but too much erases individuality.
