I must say I haven't seen so many celebrity men that looked totally different when they were in "private" instead of a red carpet.

The horrible thing is these make up photos is what little teenage girls see and not the ones without make up. And that becomes their goal. I'd like a 12x10 metre poster of celebrity women "au naturel" at every street corner.

And some man should see them too, just to get back to reality and to be thankful for the girlfriend/wife that is sittung next to them on the sofa.

And the face expressions are also different, to make them look even worse without makeup.

That is perhaps my biggest take-away from this. I need to remember to keep a pleasant expression on my face. I need not force a smile when I'm down, but no need to look grumpy when I'm not!

Some look really good without make up, but they look normal, not OMG! So that's good to know for "normal" people like us, who have normal things to do.

No one looks like a Vogue cover (apart from the fact that these are usually edited ) at 5 a.m. in the morning.That's the message that should be spread! Because obviously not everybody knows that.

But I find it funny that woman like Goldie Hawn, when asked why they still look so young always answer "I drink a lot of water and do sports" or "good genes" and then you see that kind of photos.

I've missed the boys here - were they too cowardly to present themselves without their make-up?

As far as I know George Clooney is the ONLY male actor who goes without make-up. Happy to be corrected on this?

Somewhere I read that Clooney admitted he had been "under the knife", his eyes have been made because he wants to look "awake".
And I saw some pics of male actors recently without and with makeup. Some of them look pale, like having a hangover or have a lot of spots in there face / irregular skin, which they hide under makeup at official occasions.
I just don't find that page again.
