I like celebrities. I like watching them on TV, I like going to see their movies, I like reading about their random exploits on sites like perezhilton.com. And I love love love watching red carpet events and seeing what everyone is wearing. This is because celebrities, for the most part, are so pretty and pretty things are, by definition, nice to look at.
But if you search the internet not all that hard, you soon discover that the only reason why celebrities exude beauty the way they do is not because they were born with it, but because it's definitely Maybelliene. They have good people---make up artists, hair stylists, plastic surgeons, fashion stylists---whose only job it is to make sure these people stay beautiful.
So today I am going to show you what some celebrities, the beautiful people, really look like without being styled. And since Phylan isn't posting today, I'm going to show you lots of before and after pictures using videos that other people have already made.
Celebs With And Without Makeup. Beware... - The best home videos are here
Now I'm sure this probably just confirms what everyone already knew; celebrities are pretty because they have help. But you can also look at the bright side of things too: we plebeians are just beautiful people with less makeup. And money to pay for the help. So here's some more, just to make yourself feel better.

Linds is blatantly the best-looking non-made-up star.
