A QUICK THOUGHT

I have posted on this before, however, this morning I read a post on Stephanie of Chic Femme blog about celebs without make up, and after Heidi of Health Nut Wannabee Mom commented on my previous post about wanting celebs' stylists, I thought I must share this with all you lovely girls out there. Celebs without their stylists are just what every other girl is, a normal human being, just like you.

Will you take a guess who this girl is?


She is a well known celeb... however, I will be mighty surprised if you know who she is.

And this girl??



Surely you will recognize this girl, she is one of my favorites when we talk sexy legs, however, sadly she is not aging well. And without make up...? Let's not go there...



Now let's take a peek at what our girls without make up looks like after they have spend hours and hours and thousands of dollars with their stylists.

The girl in the first pic was no one else but Ava Longoria. Now I would never in my wildest dreams have imagined that she looks like that when she wakes up in the morning.

Here we see Ava looking stunning, her celeb face in place, wearing a sexy dress, flaunting a pair of sexy legs, complimented by a pair of sexy high heeled sandals!



The second girl, Paris Hilton, same here, a lot of spit and polish, and this is what she looks like when she is dressed to kill. A completely different picture, I am sure you will agree with me!?



The last girl, Pam, looking sizzling hot in a short dress....Legs to die for... Looking 100% better than in the previous picture. Now you tell me those legs are not sexy.... specially with her wearing her high heeled C L Pigalles.



So, do you folks agree with me, all celebs are just ordinary people, but with a little bit of effort, just about any girl can look like them, and most even better.
And you do not really need an expensive stylist to look like them, believe me, what you need most of the time is the lights expert when the photographs are taken.

I'll further bet you look better than most of them when you wake up in the morning... :-) I know my wife does! hehehe, and no, I wasn't forced to say that....

I'd love to know what your opinion is on this matter? I'd love to hear what your other half thinks too...

I recognized both EVA & Paris w/o makeup! I think both of them are gorgeous women but make up definitely makes them look much better!!

I think that Eva looks cute with no make up on :) She has a girl next door kinda thing going on.

The Sydney Girl said...

Nuheila said...

Honestly i love to see celebrities photos without make-up!It makes me feel better;)but also let s me know that i can look like them-it s just make-up,style,good photo(in right light).Great post!!!

Grumpy old man said...

Stilettolover, I certainly agree with you. Thanks for dropping in and commenting!

Grumpy old man said...

Marie, maybe you are right,maybe not, I dont know about cute...:-) but with make up to me she just looks so much less cute and more beautiful. hehehe..

Grumpy old man said...

Joelyne, cute without make up yes. but stunning with make up.. :-) You are 100% correct, basically any girl can look stunning if she puts her mind to it.
Thanks for visiting and commenting.

Grumpy old man said...

Nuheila, but from the photo's I have seen of you, you do look like a celeb!! As you say, you just need the correct lighting, but you have the potential, for sure. :-) I think what matters a lot is how a girl dresses and what she does with her face and hair. You being blond, you have an unfair advantage already.
Thanks for commenting!
Glad you like it.

Becky Tjandera said...

super agree with you ! maybe sometimes we think "wow she is so super beautiful !" and suddenly we realize "oh yeah she's wearing make-up" . it sometimes happens to me . haha . so yeah , celebrities are just ordinary people , with a good luck and good acting skill .

p.s. Paris looks awful on the non make-up photo . lol .

Hi Colin. Thank you for leaving that super sweet comment on my blog. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoy reading my writing and you can relate to my experience.

Great post! I agree that celebrities are just ordinary people with great stylish and make-up artist. I think they look older without make-up though.

All the best,
Carrie

Great post, Colin!

I did recognize all these ladies without their makeup. However, it is incredible to see the transformation they make when they add makeup, fancy clothes, a hair stylist, etc. Sometimes they look like a completely different person. I agree that celebrities are just like normal people. Most people can look like them if they take the effort to get dressed up and do their hair and makeup.

I also have something for you on my blog. Check it out when you get the chance!

Becky, thanks for stopping by and for commenting. I think you pretty much covered it all. Yes, I do agree, Paris looks aweful without make up... :-)

Grumpy old man said...

Carrie, you are more than welcome, and I honestly think you deserve it.

Yes, I think we have made a good point here, celebs are people, just like you and me, and seeing that they are human we do not have to use them as idols, cos they make mistakes, just like me and you.
Thanks for leaving your thoughts with us.

Grumpy old man said...

Little Red, thanks for stopping by and leaving your thoughts with us. I agree with you, celebs humans too, and my point is that any or most ladies can look special and beautiful if they put their mind to it, and it doesnt have to cost an arm and a leg.
Thanks, I will stop by your blog.
Take care!

AJ said...

Hi Colin great post! i think Ava still looks great without makeup judging by her photo she obviousley takes care of her skin and cleanses it properly, Paris on the other hand well does her skin look sore and blotchey or is it just my eyes? And pam...well maybe shes just worn it that long and often that without it she just doesnt look the same woman, be interesting to see these women in another 10 years with no makeup and see how they look then!
Have a great day! :)

heidi said...

Wow! These always make me feel better!

Tina T said...

Oh my goodness, I would never ever have recognized Ava Longoria. She's so much prettier with makeup, but she actually looks years younger without it. They all have good bone structure that can be enhanced by makeup, and only minor flaws that can be hidden by makeup. I don't think that we can just take the typical woman off the street and transform them like this, but it does make me feel better to know that they have bad days too.

Grumpy old man said...

AJ, hi, well I only half agree with you on the without make up, but with make up she is hot, that is a fact. :-)
Yes, Paris's skin looks in a state, I dont know why, but it certainly does not look good.

I think Pam is not looking after herself like she used to, but that is an assumption and may not be the truth. Fact is, in that pic she looks terribly old.

Wow, in ten years time? That might be interesting!
Thanks for your interesting and honest opinion, I appreciate your input.

Grumpy old man said...

Heidi, as I have commented on your last post, you can be proud of yourself, you look great!
Thanks for visiting and leaving your thoughts with us. You are always welcome!

Grumpy old man said...

Tina, hi and thanks for dropping a line. Yes, Ava does look younger without make up, you have a great point there.
When I say any woman off the street, I mean that no one has to look terrible, there are ways and means to look beautiful, not drop dead gorgeous, but attractive. Some women just do not care about themselves, but are always carrying on about how well the celebs look. But those celebs put in extra effort and obviously money cos they have it, to look great.
I have seen quite a few total make over programs where some really "dusty" women are used and when those experts are finished with them, their husbands battle to recognize them.
Glad this post made you feel better about yourself...hehe... Thanks for your opinion, I always enjoy when my post causes a discussion which will always remain open for discussion.

FashionJazz said...

Hi there! Thanks so much for ur really sweet comment on my blog!
I have linked ur blog to myn : ) I recognised all of them, but it just goes to show how much make up can change a person and really define the features.

Hope u have a lovely day! xx

Unknown said...

Excellent awareness topic Collin.
Gosh ...do great minds think alike or what????
I just added a video page on my website... (www.womensselfesteem.com) all about before and after the makeup artist magic...

Yes...they are just simple normal women and as I have mentioned throughout many of my articles....even the beautiful celebrities have bad hair days.

The only reason we never see the before and after on the guy celebs is because they do little to change their appearance. We should all be so lucky :)

Thanks for the realistic approach Collin :)

Keith said...

Hey Colin. Thanks for mentioning my sister's blog up here. That's cool. Great photos you posted. Yeah, it is freaky to see what a lot of these celebs look like without makeup. Yikes. There are plenty of regular girls who look just as good if not much better.

Kira Aderne said...

They seem to be someone else...without a good outfit, make-up and hair desing...all girls doesn't look like the same...

Great post!

Many kisses Colin!!

Couture Carrie said...

Yay for celebs without makeup on!

So sweet what you say about your wife, C :)

flávia said...

Makeup is the primary vehicle to create the illusion of perfect beauty.
I love make up....

Best wishes!

Grumpy old man said...

Keith, hi, now this is a suprise, I never realized that Stephanie is your sister, I only checked now and noticed that her surname is Buck..:-)
Hey, you are welcome, she is a sweet lady and I realized she has a new blog.
Thanks for commenting, and hope you have a great weekend.

Grumpy old man said...

Kira, you are right, basically all women were issued with two facess, one they wake up with, and the one they leave the house with...hehe... and I mean that in a good spirit, before all the girls want to stone me to death here.
Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Have a wonderul weekend.

FashionJazz, thanks for linking, I have already linked you too.
You are welcome about my comment, you richly deserve it. Thanks also for visiting and leaving a comment.

Grumpy old man said...

Dorothy,well it is either great minds think alike or fools never differ, and knowing you, it is not the latter. so I guess that means I have a great mind too.. :-)
I will take a look at your post, but it would seem that we agree on make up, and maybe also that men are always great looking, coz we can leave the house without doing anything special to ourselves... hehe...

Thanks for visiting and commenting.

Grumpy old man said...

Couture Carrie thanks for commenting. Hey I have to say nice things about my wife, she reads my blog too...hehehe... just kidding... she does look great, always...

Thank goodness for makeup! I'm sure you can agree. It's so awesome that you have so many blogs! Most blogs that appeal to women are written by women. This is refreshing :) You've got a new follower!

Hey, Colin! I agree celebs are normal too, but it is kind of hilarious to see them in their normal state without being so darn perfect. :) It makes them human.
