When we see our favourite celebrities on the big or small screen, they seem to have flawless skin. What pigmentation? What dark circles? What under-eye bags? And for the longest time, before social media took over every breathing moment of ours, we may have even believed that they actually looked that good even off-screen. At least I know I did!
Then came Facebook and Instagram, where our favourite leading ladies unabashedly talked about how they too, deal with real-life problems like the rest of us. And this only made them so much more relatable. Be it Katrina Kaif talking about combating puffiness by dunking her face in ice and Alia Bhatt talking about her struggle with restoring her skincare barrier, to even Selena Gomez posting pictures of her with pimples on her skin – it’s safe to say our definition of ‘flawless’ has changed.
Nonetheless, these divas manage to look spectacular even sans makeup. Be it their genes or their tried-and-tested skincare routines that they follow to the T, their skin glows from within. Take a look at their no-makeup selfies for proof!
Alia Bhatt
A skincare aficionado at heart, Alia has time and again spoken about the importance of keeping her skin hydrated and using SPF. She even let us into her vanity and all the products she always carries with her!
Kriti Sanon
The latest actress to launch her own skincare line, Kriti has asserted the importance of SPF in her daily routine. She even took us through her dedicated nighttime routine and masking techniques.
Deepika Padukone
Sure, Deepika’s jawline and infectious smile are enviable, but have you seen her skin? She has no qualms stepping out bare-faced and we can see why!
Sara Ali Khan
Sara may be known for her quirky antics, but it’s her skin we’re obsessed with. It seems like it’s always glowing – sun or no sun. She hasn’t let us in on too many skincare secrets so we’re all ears!
Anushka Sharma
You know how when you look at somebody, you just know they’re a star? Anushka Sharma has that aura and we think it’s got a lot to do with her skin. A huge fan of ayurvedic and natural remedies, the actress truly cares for her skin and that glow is proof enough.
Selena Gomez
When she’s off duty, the Rare Beauty founder goes makeup-free. And since she’s always sharing bits of her life with her fans, Selena hasn’t hesitated from posting pictures in her bare-faced glory – pimples and all. And she still looks so gorgeous!
Hailey Bieber
There’s a reason why Hailey’s considered Queen of the glazed skin look, and no it’s not because she coined the term. It’s because that’s what her skin always seems to look like – glazed. Like a freshly baked doughnut, if you may. Even without makeup on, her skin has that luminous glass-like effect to it, courtesy of her favourite Rhode products.
Kareena Kapoor Khan
Long before the rest of these actresses stepped out without caring much about being papped in their no-makeup looks, Bebo did it. From dropping her kids at school to running errands or even just hanging with her sister, Kareena just couldn’t be bothered with applying makeup for everything. And why should she, considering she’s got truly amazing skin, courtesy of her ghar ke nuske?
This just goes to show that if you really care for your skin, it shows and glows!
