15 Shocking Pictures Of Celebrities That Aren't Airbrushed

If you only look at celebrities on Instagram and on TV, you might think that they are flawless, perfect creatures who have never taken a bad picture in their lives. They have teams of makeup artists, personal trainers, nutritionists, and professional photographers, and this makes it nearly impossible to imagine them with double chins, cellulite, no makeup and no Photoshop. Of course, the truth is a bit different! Celebrities are just like normal people, even if the media doesn't want you to know that. They have wobbly bits and bad hair days, just like the rest of us… and occasionally there is a photographer around to catch them in their natural habitat. This isn't to say that the pictures are bad, but you may be shocked to see your favorite stars looking like normal people. If you don't like the idea of seeing your fave stars looking less than perfect, look away now, as you are about to be faced with 15 shocking pictures of celebrities that aren't airbrushed!

15 Bella Hadid

Bella Hadid first signed with IMG Models in 2014, and since then, she has become incredibly successful. In the last three years she has gone from strength to strength, and in December 2016 she was voted "Model of the Year" for the Model.com Model of the Year 2016 Awards. The star is definitely a natural beauty, and she frequently posts selfies and pictures without her wearing makeup. Of course, you don't really need to wear makeup when you are as beautiful as Bella Hadid, but it is great to see that she embraces her natural beauty. She may look a little paler and a little less dramatic, but she is still seriously stunning! Bella is the latest in a long line of celebrities to post lots of pictures that are not airbrushed, and we love the fact that she is happy to showcase her bare face to the whole world!

14 Demi Lovato

The singer is super open about her body image struggles. The beautiful singer spent years battling an eating disorder, but now she says that she is “feeling better than I've ever felt.” She often posts pictures that aren't airbrushed that show her without makeup, and the pictures are seriously shocking. She looks amazing, even better than she looks with makeup! While it may have been difficult for her to love herself, we are very happy that she does now. She said, “Sometimes when I'm having bad body image issue days, I remind myself that I'd rather live in freedom from my eating disorder than worry about what people think about my body.” “I am more than a number and a jean size,” she continued. We admire her confidence and self-love, and we hope that she inspires other people to love themselves as they are.

13 Kylie Jenner

Kylie Jenner is often referred to as the selfie queen of social media, and it isn't hard to see why! The young beauty uploads daily selfies to her Instagram and Snapchat accounts, and she usually looks totally flawless. Despite this, many people insult her pictures, accusing her of wearing too much makeup and using Photoshop, even though the star regularly uploads makeup free snaps to prove that she is just as beautiful without a full face of makeup. However, she has been snapped a few times out and about without makeup or Photoshop, and while she does look different this is to be expected. Of course, a professionally edited picture will look different, but you can't deny that the reality star has amazing skin! She clearly embraces makeup free life and her natural look, which is a great message to send to younger girls who look up to her.

12 Gigi Hadid

Gigi Hadid has a pretty perfect life. The model was first signed to IMG Models in 2013, and in 2014 she made her debut in the top 50 models on Models.com. This was a big indicator of her future success, and she soon became one of the most popular models in the world. These days, she is seriously hot stuff! Last year, she was named International Model of the Year by the British Fashion Council, and she is dating the seriously gorgeous Zayn (of One Direction, of course). Her life seems pretty perfect, but she isn't afraid to bare her face sans makeup and Photoshop. The star was photographed walking around at night time with her hair tied up and no makeup on, and she still looks amazing. It is difficult not to be jealous of her perfect skin, but it confirms that she definitely has the looks to be a successful model!

11 Britney Spears

Britney Spears is perhaps one of the most famous women in the world! She's a triple threat: a singer, dancer, and actress who is well-known for her catchy hits. But she's also just as well-known for her breakdown back in the day when she shaved her head. She has always been open about her struggles with her appearance, and in recent years she has chosen to release before and after pictures of her with Photoshop to prove to women that the media sets unrealistic body standards for women. We commend her strength and her efforts to change the way that beauty is perceived, and that is why we love the before picture for this magazine cover. The star looks equally as beautiful in both pictures, but the wrinkles in the first picture show her maturity and wisdom. She isn't a 16-year-old girl anymore… and that is totally fine!

10 Adriana Lima

Adriana Lima is often referred to as one of the most beautiful women on earth, and it isn't hard to see why! The Brazilian model is best known for being a Victoria's Secret Angel since 1999, and she is also a spokesmodel for Maybelline. The model's natural good looks require no Photoshop, and the before picture certainly didn't need enhancing. She already looks like the perfect model, but the media chose to enhance her eye color and lighten her skin in an attempt to "improve" her looks. This was totally unnecessary, and it highlights the ridiculous standard that the media sets for women across America. Adriana definitely doesn't need Photoshop or lots of makeup; her natural beauty is more than enough! Most importantly, her skin looked gorgeous as it was and it certainly didn't need to be lightened. You know the world has gone crazy when even Adriana Lima needs to be Photoshopped!

9 Alicia Silverstone

Alicia Silverstone is a popular American actress, author, producer, and activist. She rose to fame after starring in The Crush, a role she won the 1994 MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance for. She then went on to star in the video for Aerosmith's "Cryin" and the teen comedy flick Clueless. She is a fantastic actress and a beautiful woman, but this picture raised some controversy as it was airbrushed to make her look much younger. In reality, she looks great in the before picture, even though she has lines on her face and is wearing less makeup. Her laugh lines are beautiful and make her look like a happy, friendly person, but in the edited picture, her face looks harsh and overly made up. This picture just goes to show that Photoshop is unnecessary. It didn't make her look any better. If anything, it made her look worse!

8 Khloe Kardashian

Khloe Kardashian is best known for starring on the super popular reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and over the years she has been very open about her struggles with her appearance and her weight. She often says now that she used to feel like the unattractive, overweight Kardashian, but in recent years she has undergone a complete body transformation that has left her with a body to die for. In fact, she has even released a book called Revenge Body! Today Khloe looks completely different to her earlier years, but the one thing that is still true is that she loves a heavy makeup look. That is why this makeup free picture is so shocking. She looks just as good without the full face of makeup! Her natural beauty shines through, and we actually think that we prefer her relaxed, casual look to her full glam look. What a stunner!

7 Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer (also known as JLo) is a singer, dancer, actress, fashion designer, author, and producer. She is known across the world for her catchy dance songs, but she is also well-known for her beauty… and her booty! The star is seriously stunning, and she has previously spoken out about Photoshop and the unrealistic standards that it sets for women. She is often photographed out and about without any makeup, and this picture shows exactly why she doesn't need to wear makeup to look good. She has beautiful skin and fantastic bone structure, and she looks just as good without makeup as she looks with it. Some people may be tempted to say that she looks very different without makeup, but that is true for most people. After all, no one would wear makeup if it didn't make a difference, as there would be no point at all!

6 Nicole Scherzinger

For years people have fawned over the beauty of the singer, dancer, and reality TV judge, but she has openly admitted that she has previously struggled with her body image, saying that she sometimes felt worthless. She said, “I felt like I wasn't enough, that I wasn't pretty, that I was fat, and that I wasn't worthy of more.” She continued, “I'm in a different place in my life now. I feel a bit more confident and comfortable in my own skin to be able to talk about things that I hadn't talked about before.” We love her confidence, and in the picture above it is clear that she doesn't need makeup or airbrushing to look beautiful as she is already stunning! While it may have taken the singer a while to find her confidence, she is definitely working it now, and we hope to see more makeup free pictures of her in the future!

5 Beyonce

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is an American singer, songwriter, and actress who first began her career in the 1990s as the lead singer of R&B girl group Destiny's Child. Since the group split she has gone from strength to strength, and she is now one of the most popular artists in the world. Everyone wants to hear her music, and she doesn't even need to advertise her brand anymore. In fact, there was absolutely no advance promotion of her Lemonade album and it was one of the most popular albums of the year! It seems like everyone loves the star, but she did receive some backlash when this before and after picture was released. We are not sure why, as she doesn't actually look that different at all! In the first picture she has normal skin and maybe a little too much makeup, and in the second picture, the only real difference is her perfect, plastic-like smooth skin.

4 Pamela Anderson

The actress is perhaps best known for her role on the popular TV show Baywatch. She also starred on Home Improvement and V.I.P., although she initially rose to fame after she won Playmate of the Month for Playboy in 1990. The star is mostly well-known for her perfect curves and beautiful blonde hair but has been criticized for looking fairly different in recent pictures that aren't Photoshopped. We think this is pretty ridiculous, as she never pretended that her beauty was natural. She has always been a big fan of heavy makeup, and she still looks beautiful without it. She may look paler and older, but that is only reasonable as she isn't wearing fake tan. It seems like lots of people are just surprised that the blond beauty aged (which is weird, as every single human on planet earth ages, but hey… ).

3 Candice Huffine

Candice Huffine is an international plus size fashion model who is currently represented by IMG Models. The model is a former teenage beauty queen, and she is best known for helping to change the attitudes of people within the fashion industry. So far she has been featured in the CR Fashion Book, Italian Vogue, Vogue, W, Glamour, V Magazine, and i-D, and she has worked with some of the best industry names including Mert and Marcus and Steven Meisel. Despite this, she is still regularly airbrushed to seem thinner. In the picture above the editors have barely touched her face or her hair (which isn't too surprising as she already looked perfect), but they have edited her body to make her seem thinner. This shocking photo shows the unrealistic body standards that are set by the media, as it is basically saying that it is okay to have curves and a nice butt, but you shouldn't have rolls or any fat on your stomach.

2 Adele

The "Someone Like You" and "Hello" singer was photographed recently when she was out for lunch with her friends, and she was more than happy to be photographed with a makeup-free face. We love that! The non-airbrushed picture received a lot of praise, and many people commented that she looks just as good without makeup as she does with it. The star is known for her quotes about unrealistic body standards, saying; “I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that.” She also said, "I like looking nice, but I always put comfort over fashion… Be happy and healthy. I've never had a problem with the way I look. I'd rather have lunch with my friends than go to a gym.” We totally agree, and this is yet another reason that we love Adele!

1 Kim K

Kim Kardashian is one of the most popular celebrities on social media. In fact, her Instagram account is the fifth most popular account with nearly 100 million followers, just behind Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Beyonce, and Taylor Swift. However, a recent picture of Kim at the beach threatened to knock her down a spot. The unairbrushed picture of Kim showcased that her body isn't 100 percent perfect, and Kim actually ended up losing 100,000 followers on Instagram, as well as comments such as “Kim you make me feel sick talking about your flawless body when you run to the doctor for everything. There is nothing real about you.” In reality, the pictures are proof that the stunning reality star is human, just like the rest of us! While she still has an amazing body, she also has a few lumps and bumps… just like the majority of women across the world.
