Celebrities Without Makeup

We haven't embarrassed any celebrities lately, so perhaps it is time we perplexed a few by showing you what some of them really look like sans makeup. The science or art of adding makeup to a face appears to have come a long way in the last few years, at least considering some of the differences in the before and after photos that we have gathered here.

Let's take a look (hover your mouse over the photo to pause the array):

One would have to say that there are some real shockers here, such as Sharon Stone and Goldie Hawn. Now those two have aged a bit lately, but Sharon and Goldie really attest to the wonders of what modern makeup can do for a woman's looks.

We remember one post we had from a while back about how nearly anyone could become a supermodel because makeup is now able to hide a plethora of flaws in a model's skin. That post featured a video of exactly how a makeup artist transforms a relatively attractive model into one who appears very glamorous and remarkably beautiful.

The post is at Redneck Super Models. Check it out.

Back at our slideshow, Actress Rene Zellweger's before and after photos are another example that is a bit surprising, and how about Pamela Anderson? You would probably not recognize her before photo at first glance.

Pamela was first discovered when she was quite young at a sporting event, when a cameraman put her on the Jumbotron screen because she looked so pretty. In fact when the audience saw her on the screen they went wild because she looked so good.

Like anyone else the years have taken their toll on Pamela's good looks, but she jumps right into the fountain of youth when the right makeup artist plies his or her trade, taking off the years and transforming Pamela into a great beauty once again.

Jerry Hall once was a supermodel and is the former wife of Mick Jaggar of the Rolling Stones. Without her makeup one would never guess that is the face of a supermodel.

And how about Jessica Simpson? Wow! That one really surprised us. Without her makeup she looks like an Okie from Oskogie. Plus she is only 30 years old, so she still has youth on her side. Despite all of that her no makeup photo makes her look like any other WalMart shopper.

Kate Hudson sure has her work cut out for her, trying to pass for a movie star. Without makeup she would not have a chance of making it on the big screen.

It is a good thing the rest of us do not have to depend on our looks to get us by. What a challenge that would be.

Redneck Super Models

Do you ever wonder why you never see any super models on the street, in the grocery, or on the subway? Well, they make so much money, they probably do not travel by subway or bus, but there is another reason you do not see these gorgeous women out in public.

That reason is: these women do not exist--at least not the way you think they do.

Do you really believe that super model Gisele Bundchen looks as good as the photo on the left?

Gisele is extremely attractive, but in no way does she look as good in real life as the woman you see in that photo.

The photo on the right is also Gisele Bundchen.

If you were not told that they are one and the same woman, you would assume that they are two different models because they look so incredibly unalike in the two photos.

In the next photo on the left we have super model Kate Moss completely au naturel. She is wearing no makeup and very little lighting has been added to enhance the photograph.

She even bears a slight blemish or birthmark on her right cheek.

Next they bring in the high priced hair stylists and makeup people, who go to town on Kate. After tying her hair back for a slender high fashion look, the makeup artists apply a base to her face.

Voila! The freckles and blemishes have disappeared.

Lip gloss widens her mouth and enhances the lips to make them seem more adult like. Eye makeup augments her eyes making them appear deeper and darker.

The photographer adjusts the lighting and suddenly Kate's nose and cheeks appear thinner.

Once the photographer's shutter has snapped, the cgi and photoshop experts go to work. Kate's natural hazel eye color becomes a deep dark brown. Small white dots added to the eyes make you think Kate looks at no one but you.

A highlighter added to Kate's left cheek area nudges the right side of the photograph into dominance.

All of that work produces the next photo on the right. Our process begins as Kate Moss in her natural look as the girl next door, and it ends with her appearing as a sultry super model with an impossibly sizzling good look.

Impossible is the key word here because it is impossible for any woman to look like the photo on the right. Even Kate Moss does not look that good in real life.

All of this magic with hair styling, makeup, lighting, photography, and cgi is not lost on our redneck friends. They realize that with today's technology just about any woman can be transformed into a super model.

And that brings us to our video featuring two models. The first scene stars a normal super model and the second features the redneck version. Have a look.
