Celebrities without Makeup and Makeup Tips

So there was no 'What to Wear Wednesday' yesterday because I was in Toronto so I'll make it up to you by posting pics of Celebrities without makeup. Who doesn't love to see beautiful celebrities looking..err.. Not so beautiful. Oh the wonders of Makeup. Before you take a look I just want to say that Makeup is a wonderful thing. It can take any plain ol'tired face and make it look fresh and radiant. And who doesn't want to look fresh and radiant? Looking at someone without makeup is like looking at blank piece of paper..Boring.
If you regularly don't wear makeup you might look more like the celebs in the 'Before' pics. Even naturally beautiful people look better with makeup. And I'm not talking about caking on 10 pounds of makeup because that usually doesn't look good either. I just mean if you don't wear any makeup at all trust me you'd look alot better with a bit of mascara, lip gloss, even out that complexion with a bit of concealer and even a swipe of eyeshadow. Surely you have 2 minutes in your day to do that. Now lets take a look at these not so glam celebs.




This one's my favourite. Eva's more pasty looking then I am. Gotta love Self- Tanner.


I don't get it, why'd she let them take this pic? I would rather eat glass then have someone take a picture of me when I first wake up.


ew.


This one's for my friend Rikki who doesn't think Cameron is pretty. But I argued with her and said she's Gorgegous!..Ok Rikki you win.

I love Kate Moss, so I have nothing bad to say.. People get old, it happens.


This pics not too surprising. Whitney sober at a photoshoot and Whitney on Crack at the airport.


This one's not surprising either. Pam's getting old. She still looks alright for someone who's like 50 and has 2 kids and has been married like 3 times this year. Stress does cause wrinkles.



I couldn't decide if I wanted to post this one or not, because who really cares what renee looks likes. But I decided to post it anyway.



Makeup Tips:


For Small Eyes- I can't do this because I have large eyes but I've seen it done on other people and it really does make a difference. Take a white eyeliner pencil and line just the inner part of your eye. From one side right to the other. This really will open up your eyes.


Cheap Makeup- I've heard females complain that they put on eyeshadow in the morning and half way through the day it's worn off. That's simply because you're using cheap drugstore eyeshadow. NEVER buy eyeshadow from Shoppers, it's pointless. I will say that Loreal's new HiP eyeshadows do work very well. They're probably the only one's from a drugstore that do. They work because they have more pigment then most eyeshadow. However MAC is and always will be the only eyeshadow I use. You might not want to spend $20 on one single colour eyeshadow but look at it like this. You don't need to use alot because it's got high intensity pigments so it will last you waaay longer then those drugstore brands. Plus you apply it in the morning and it will stay on all day. So you will never have to re-apply. It's worth the extra money.


Mascara and lipgloss: If you only have time to apply 2 things in the morning let it be Mascara and lipgloss. Mascara will make your eye looks awake and lipgloss will brighten up your face. If you have time for one more thing concealer is important too. I don't put it all over my face because I would breakout. Just under the eyes is good enough.


Fill in those Brows: Don't go out with patchy eyebrows. Your eyebrows should start directly above the inner corner of your eyes. If they don't fill them in so they do.


Lip Stick: I love lipstick in dark colours or light. But if you have a really smokey eye don't wear dark lipstick or you'll look goth. If your eye makeup is dark wear a nude lipstick with a nude lipliner and some gloss. If you want to wear dark lipstick keep the eye makeup more natural.


Blush and Bronzer: If you think you look tired nothing will perk up your face better then Blush or a Bronzer. Don't apply it all over your cheeks. It just needs to go on your cheek bones. Smiling in mirror while applying is the best way to find those cheek bones. And when buying a blush or bronzer don't pick a color out yourself. ALWAYS ask the cosmetologist for help.


Moisturizer: NEVER EVER apply makeup without first applying moisturizer. Otherwise you will get wrinkles.
