Bollywood Beauties Without Makeup

Bollywood has always been renowned for its stunning women. For years their beauty has captivated audiences both on the big screen and on the red carpet.

It's no surprise that most regular women would cringe at the thought of having to compete with Bollywood's favorite leading ladies. But have you ever wondered what these Bollywood stars look like without their professionally applied make-up? Are they really so stunning that they can simply wake up looking perfect each morning? The answer, not surprisingly is no. At the end of the day, they too are only human and these photos prove that sometimes they need a lot of help too.

Aishwarya Rai

Former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has flawless skin and adorable round eyes, however, make-up sure does help accent her features.

Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor is widely regarded as one of the most glamorous and seductive actresses in Bollywood but in this photo she looks ANYTHING but that! Without concealer to hide the circles under her eyes she looks over-worked, stressed-out, and flat-out exhausted. We seriously recommend a long nap and what looks like a much needed vacation.

Katrina Kaif

Recently named "sexiest Asian Woman Alive" by a UK Asian magazine, Katrina Kaif doesn't necessarily look remarkable in this photo but we must admit that she still looks good without make-up.

Priyanka Chopra

After winning the title of Miss India World and later becoming Miss World 2000, it's obvious why Priyanka Chopra is famous for her beauty. However, without make-up she just looks ordinary.

Preity Zinta

Preity Zinta is known not only for her talent and intelligence but also for her elegant good looks. Still, without carefully applied make-up, she won't exactly be turning heads the way she's used to.

You have to admit that it's fun to look at these pictures. Now you might be thinking to yourself that we're just being mean, but are we really? The pictures that we casually accept as the norm are most often taken with the professional help of make-up artists, hairstylists, designers and fashion stylists. Sometimes these photos are even retouched and airbrushed to create the 'perfect' image. So go ahead and enjoy pinpointing a few celebrity flaws and do it without feeling guilty. It's healthy to remember that even the most beautiful women in the world need to make an effort to achieve those dazzling good looks.
