8 Stunning Women Who Prove Makeup Is Unnecessary

I bet you didn’t think you could look this stunning without makeup, but these women prove it’s possible. Natural beauty isn’t just an Instagram trend or something #goals-obsessed celebrities do, it’s a way of life that everyone can adopt no matter how much or how little makeup they wear on the regular. Here are eight women who are living proof that makeup isn’t necessary and that true beauty comes from within!

If you're beautiful without makeup, you should be loved without it too.

It's a common idea that if a woman wears makeup, she's in some way faking or hiding her true self. But what if that true self is fake? What if it doesn't exist at all, and you're wearing makeup to make yourself feel better about how you look? The women in these photos prove that they don't need any help to be stunning. They are even more gorgeous with their bare faces on display.

#1 Sasha Grey

A Hollywood legend in her own right, Grey has proved that natural beauty is anything but boring. This stunning woman is proof that you don’t need makeup to look like a supermodel, and she’s also proven that you can succeed in show business without selling your soul. Her fame lies not only in her glamourous good looks but also in her ability to captivate audiences with her raw talent.

#2 Dakota Johnson

Actress Dakota Johnson is gorgeous as-is but also has a romantic history with notorious bad boy Andrew Garfield. With natural beauty like hers, it’s easy to see why Garfield fell for her.

#3 Chrissy Teigen

The Lip Sync Battle co-host rocks a natural beauty look time and time again. Whether she’s heading to set or to a celebrity event, Teigen keeps her hair down and makeup minimal for a natural look that’s equal parts beautiful and effortless. Of course, it’s not like she doesn’t know how to do up her face when necessary—but she’s confident enough in her skin that she can go makeup-free with ease.

#4 Emily Ratajkowski

The model, actress, and social media star have come a long way since her days as a blonde-haired, blue-eyed It Girl in Robin Thicke’s 2013 music video Blurred Lines. That iconic look is nowhere to be found in Ratajkowski’s latest Instagram snaps, which she describes as her most authentic representation. She often keeps her skin and makeup clean and fresh with no trace of glitter or foundation.

#5 Natalia Vodianova

The Russian beauty might be one of the best-known models in history, and she certainly looks beautiful without any makeup. See Natalia Vodianova's natural look on her social media pages. It's hard to believe she even has to wear makeup at all! That said, I think we can all agree that when she does decide to show off a more glamorous side with full glamor makeup done by professional makeup artists, her photos are stunning.

#6 Bella Hadid

Bella Hadid, 21, is one of three famous daughters of supermodel Yolanda Foster. The gorgeous Dutch-American model has starred in campaigns for brands like Versace and shows off her natural beauty on Instagram.

#7 Lily Aldridge

Lily Aldridge’s natural beauty is striking. The Victoria’s Secret Angel is known for her enviable abs and toned body, but she has no problem stripping down to reveal her raw beauty. There’s a reason Aldridge recently graced People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People in the World list: She doesn’t need makeup. She didn't use foundation or concealer when she posted a picture of herself with no makeup on Instagram. The result?
