We've seen some of Hollywood's hottest stars without their makeup, from Katy Perry to Sofia Vergara, and for the most part, we've been pleasantly surprised.
This week we get to add one of the biggest names on the planet to that list, with a fascinating Harper's Bazaar photo shoot of the superstar in her uncommonly rare natural state.
Without further ado, Lady Gaga sans makeup.

It actually doesn't make as big of a difference as we expected.
Granted, this is still a professional photo shoot, with professional lighting and, let's face it, probably a little bit of airbrush on top. Not to mention a fantastically full head of flowing hair that would put Cher to shame. But her complexion is imperfect and her lips look a little bit chapped.
Gaga said of the shoot, "I don't really view it as 'natural.' I think that artifice is the new reality. It's more about just being honest and sincere to the core of what you do. Whether I'm wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I'm always the same person inside."
A nice sentiment, to be sure, but we somehow doubt that Ms. Germanotta will be dropping any part of the artifice for longer than a shoot.

Gage looks unusual and to me that is beauty. Her features seem almost a little bit strange (mainly those eyes that pop out) but it works wonderfully on her face. I'd love to see her like this all the time
like she looks. It is just another phase of her personna. Further, I do not believe she is totally without makeup in this photo anyway. The main body commentary states that it looks like her lips are chapped, I disagree, I believe it looks like they have done her lips to look that way with makeup for the effect they are going for. Very few women look awesome or even good without makeup, it is just the fineness of our skin and as we age, makeup plays up our best parts, eyes or lips or cheekbones....Lady Gaga whole "schtict" is changing her appearance all the time, and I thing she does it very well, and it is interesting. This "no makeup" photography has been the thing to do this year, by many in her position, so it is not new. I am not a fan of her music however, I do not think it has any value whatsoever. I do think however, that one of the keys to success in her business, is the ability to reinvent yourself on a regular basis, Cher has done it to some extent over the years, and Madonna does it continually, and look at their success...So, to Lady Gaga I say, You Go Girl !!
The same COULD be true for women if they were not so obsessed with wearing makeup.
The only time I find women less attractive without makeup is either if they always wear so much that the chemicals have messed with her complexion and blocked the sunlight, or when the makeup is the only thing covering pizza-faced crater-acne.
Her eyes are big, but kind of puffy....I still like how she looks in the first pic.
