UFO Sightings

We all love to see our favorite celebrities in makeup and dressed to the nines. We revel in their public shining glamor, but we can’t seem to get enough of the intimate and personal details of their private lives. They are normally only caught in their day to day home lives with out their makeup. There are photographers that spend their entire career snapping pictures of musicians, models and movie stars without their makeup on.

We are all used to seeing our favorite stars with their hair and makeup perfect. We seem to be a little shocked when we first see them without makeup. The appearance of these stars changes drastically when they are no longer in professional hair and makeup. When they are in their makeup you get the full effect of glamour from them. Without makeup they look kind of like the rest of us with the exception of a few.

On their faces are flaws; warts, discolorations, and pimples can be seen without them. Once the makeup is off, Melissa Gilbert doesn’t have that envious perfectly toned face. She isn’t the only person who appears dramatically different. Take a closer look at those pictures next time and you will see just how different they look.

Goldie Hawn and other more mature actresses often show up in the photos. The ageless appearance onscreen disappears without the makeup. Actresses and musicians with no makeup look just like the rest of us plain people. If they don’t get their hair touched up when they do the makeup you will see some gray.

Are you able to visualize your favorite music artist without make up? What about Kiss? You can’t forget the wonderful times of all the great bands and the charming makeup. Without wearing makeup, Poison and Kiss look like very different people. Of course the fact that they are men makes it obvious that they look different without the makeup. The difference is amazing, no longer are the faces completely hidden under perfect makeup, the flaws all show. It’s amazing to see Gene Simmons out of makeup, he almost doesn’t look like the man in KISS! Do you recall Boy George from the 1980s? You would hardly recognize him now as that same person, since he works at a hot London club as a dance DJ and works with the Ministry of Sound. Then there is Adam Ant who used to wear a white stripe of makeup across his face. This can be a surprise to see them with no makeup on.

Celebrities with no makeup help our self confidence. They are all airbrushed and painted on magazine covers mostly but the times they aren’t made up make the rest of us feel better. Looking through magazines and seeing the models all made up can sometimes make us feel self conscience about the way we look. When looking at those photographs, it’s easy to forget that we are fine the way we are. That is, until they appear to use with no makeup on.

After seeing their flaws we don’t feel the pressure to be so perfect. Like the rest of us, they suffer from skin conditions and acne. Without makeup on laugh lines and wrinkles become visible. Aren’t you already feeling better about yourself? Oh yes. You certainly do. Now you know its not reality.

When you see a beautiful person on the cover of some glamor magazine, just smile to yourself knowing that you’re just the same as they are. You just don’t have a professional makeup artist in your bathroom waiting to make you look perfect every morning. You would look great all the time also if you were given this luxury.
