It’s hard to picture your favorite celebs in anything less than their usual decked-out-from-head-to-toe looks—faux lashes, hair extensions and all. But when the glamsquad goes home, and all the makeup comes off, we get to see what’s really underneath. Needless to say, it’s incredibly refreshing. Click through to see eight celebs who bared it all.

Jennifer Lopez
With naturally glowing skin, Jennifer has no need for layers of makeup. And even at the age of 45 (wow!), her lit-from-within look is still unmatched.

Gwyneth Paltrow
Props to Gwyneth for baring it all in this picture, which she bravely shared with her Instagram followers. She looks happy and comfortable in her own skin, which is, after all, the most beautiful thing.

Kim Kardashian West
Without the insanely long lashes and head-to-toe bronzer, Kim’s natural beauty is able to shine through. Our vote? She should show off the bare-faced look more often.

Cameron Diaz
The fresh-faced trend is a perfect fit for Cameron, whose ear-to-ear smile and bubbly personality immediately make us think of natural beauty.

Beyoncé
Peel back Beyoncé’s layers and she is just as stunning bare-faced as she is with color caked on. Her perfectly defined features draw you in—no makeup necessary.

Drew Barrymore
A poster child for the saying “less is more,” we can’t get enough of Drew’s infectious smile and no-frills approach. Yes she looks great with a bold lip and smoky eye, but she certainly doesn’t need it to look beautiful.

Lady Gaga
Although some of Lady Gaga’s beauty choices have raised eyebrows to say the least (one of the things that makes her so fascinating!), we’re happy with her recently revealed au-naturel look that we’ve been seeing more of on the red carpet.
Julianne Hough
As a professional dancer, high-definition makeup comes with the territory. But for Julianne, a relaxed, I-woke-up-this-way glow is the way to go.
