Top 10 Stars Without Makeup

Makeup can completely change a person, but sometimes this change isn’t really necessary. You’d think that in the musical or acting industries, where looks are a key factor in your ascension to stardom, celebrities can’t afford looking anything short of perfect. That’s true, but there are some who benefit from a natural beauty that ensures they can be stunning even without applying any traces of lipstick or eye shadow. Here are some stars without makeup who manage to shine through the power of natural beauty.

#1 Demi Lovato

Once a Disney star who found fame through role in the movie Camp Rock, Demi Lovato is now living the dream as a dual singer – actor with strong edgy rock ‘n’ roll vibes. She’s notoriously fought off several mental illnesses driven by appearance issues, but she’s now comfortable enough in her own skin to regularly upload filter and makeup-free photos on the Internet.

The Skyscraper Without a Window

Standing at 33 Thomas Street in the Civic Center neighborhood of New York City is a 550-foot tall monolithic, granite-clad, concrete building. Even in a city like New York, where tall buildings are typical, people passing by would look up to gaze at this intimidating structure —their attention drawn not by the building’s height but by its fortress-like appearance. Aside from a couple of ventilation openings on the sides, the building’s bare concrete slab façade is without a single window.

The Long Lines Building is owned by the multinational telecom company AT&T, and is indeed an impenetrable fortress. When it was built in 1974, AT&T asked architect John Carl Warnecke to design a structure that could withstand a nuclear blast and protect its occupants from fallout for up to two weeks after the attack. Such concerns were not uncommon at that time, and AT&T wanted to be sure that their expensive equipment stayed undamaged.
