Don't get me wrong, makeup can be so much fun to play around with. It can be an art, a means of transformation for a big, fancy night.
But that doesn't mean we women should be afraid to walk out of the house with our bare faces.
Each and every one of us is beautiful. There is no reason to deny ourselves and the rest of the world of our natural beauty: a face with no makeup.
Recently, celebrities like Alicia Keys have been more and more candid about the fact that the makeup they wear sets an unrealistic standard for the rest of us. After all, we don't all have professional makeup artists on hand to paint on our faces every morning.
These 11 female celebrities have proudly posted their makeup-less faces to their social media accounts so we can see they are ordinary women, just like the rest of us.
