We often catch glimpses of celebrities on red carpets and in glossy magazines, immaculately styled from head to toe, leaving us to forget that they don't actually require makeup all the time just to make a stunning impression. Many stars unabashedly flaunt their no-makeup looks, and they often appear far more striking in their natural beauty.

That's why we have compiled a collection of famous women who serve as important reminders that natural beauty often surpasses the impact of a face covered with heavy makeup.

Bored Panda reached out to Nicky Hill, a 28-year-old makeup and special effects artist with a unique talent for creating optical illusions and transformations. Nicky's work, which includes transforming herself into various celebrities and characters, has garnered attention on Instagram, and she is also honing her skills as a trainee tattoo artist.

When asked about the impact of celebrities showcasing their natural beauty on the perception of authenticity in the entertainment industry, Nicky shared, "Authenticity is the real deal now, isn't it? I've always believed that while it's fun to play with makeup and transformations, there's an undeniable power in showing your true self."

    She looks better than most women with professionally done make up and photoshop could look.

    On the topic of balancing her transformative work with the increasing appreciation for celebrities' natural looks, Nicky drew parallels to her work as a tattoo artist, stating, "Makeup, to me, is a form of art, similar to tattooing. When I'm practicing as a trainee tattoo artist, I'm reminded of the balance between a design's integrity and the skin's natural texture."

    When asked if celebrities' natural looks inspired her work, Nicky likened it to viewing a blank canvas before a tattoo or face makeup. "I've always been captivated by the little imperfections—the scars, the freckles, the untamed brows. They're reminders of life's journey," she said.

    Hill also spoke about the shift in public reactions to her transformations in light of the trend toward natural beauty. "Some folks love the glitz and glamour, while others lean towards appreciating the raw, natural essence," she reflected. "With my transformations and my growth in the tattoo world, I've noticed a shift. People now want authenticity, be it in a transformation or a tattoo."

"I see beauty in every detail, the same way I view the intricacies of a tattoo design. There are days I embrace my natural beauty and others when I dive deep into the creative abyss."

    She is always beautiful. But.. she's airbrushed the dark circles under her eyes. It's pretty obvious. I guess that doesn't necessarily break the 'no makeup' thing, but definitely not natural either.
