You know a celebrity trend is a big deal when Lady Gaga participates in it. Joining the ranks of Cate Blanchett, Faith Hill and even Kim Kardashian, Gaga revealed herself to the public wearing no makeup. Check out her surprising photo (and a gallery of makeup-less celebrities) after the cut!
Gaga Tweeted this photo earlier in the week, accompanying it with the message, “Have a beautiful day!!” Even in a tank top and ponytail, she was clearly already having one!
What I love about this shot is that she looks so…normal. And not even “compared to dolled-up Lady Gaga” normal; without makeup, she resembles a pretty, average gal, showing women everywhere that you don’t have to be born looking like a bombshell to become a superstar. [via E!]
What do you think of Gaga’s photo? Does it surprise you at all?

She looks like she has minimal makeup on, to me. I don’t know what the obsession is with the fact that celebrities are human and have flaws/ look average or attainable without photoshop and makeup

I love Lady Gaga so much.

@winterEnds@xanga - I definitely agree in theory, though some people, especially young women, unfortunately don’t realize that just yet. I think that, while it may be somewhat superficial, it’s good for girls who are constantly being assaulted with the Hollywood version of a perfect body/face to be reminded that it’s all just an expensive illusion. Though I doubt I would mind having a makeup artist or some Photoshop on my side at times

It’s pretty sad that looking natural has become a trend :-/

LOL I’ve yet to see one of these in which the celeb is actually wearing no makeup.
guest
She is wearing make-up; just not stage/photoshoot make up.
guest
I think she is wearing makeup…especially her eyebrows. But, subtle makeup does suit her.
guest
She has loads of makeup still on! Wahh.
guest
I still think it’s a guy. I mean look at it.
guest
I love it. She’s brave.

LOL! Yeah, whatever.
Her 15 seconds are clicking away…there’s nothing that can stop that.
guest
I cant believe make up is such a big deal.
guest
Celebs are people too. We tend to forget that.

she looks like Kate Winslet!

No… I do it all the damn time and it hasn’t stopped the boys from calling. I get compliments all the time. Not everyone needs to slather it on to be pretty and confident and have a nice day.

Nobody needs make up. How many men do you know who spend countless hours slathering the gunk on every day, only to look good for other women’s husbands. Close to zero. If they can’t like you for who you are, who wants them? And when I compare myself to what I look like with uncomfortable eyeliner and mascara on, it’s just plain nauseating. I never did have any trouble relating to the opposite sex, rather, it actually added to completing the picture because my brain was involved.

My boyfriend loves that I don’t wear makeup. I don’t care what Lady gag does.
guest
She look silly looking at her phone like that. Anyway, I thought she looked a little like Kate Winslet like that.

I wonder how much Blackberry paid her to do this.
