Most stars these days are really taking the au-naturel look for a turn around the block, appearing in magazines or tweeting pics of themselves to show that bare can be beautiful.
This week, Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence did the same, but with different intentions. No “I’m-not’wearing-makeup-look-at-me” undertones here. Just a casual morning run free of anything and everything on her face.
The svelte star looks basically the same. Though eye makeup gives her eyes a fuller effect, the actress’ naturally narrow eyes are prevalent in the film, so the picture should come as no surprise. Kudos to Jennifer for stepping out bare-faced during her Hunger Games world tour, when every camera possible is on her. If she doesn’t scream confidence, I don’t know who does.
Lovelies, what do you think of Jennifer Lawrence no-makeup look? Do you think she looks better with or without it?

Jennifer Lawrence is amazing, she is so unlike other celebs.
guest
cool, in a cool way!
guest
Her eyes look so much smaller! She’s pretty either way. I always like to see actresses with narrow eyes, especially if the eyelids are hooded like Jennifers. Makes us Scandinavian girls feel better, haha.
guest
She’s definitely pretty without make-up, but it just goes to show you how much make-up can do for a person. The contouring and highlighting certainly re-shape her face. (At least in the first picture.) Wowza.
guest
I think she looks good either way but the makeup does make her look a more mature and sophisticated. Without makeup, she looks younger and way more approachable, like a girl next door.
guest
I honestly don’t think I would be able to tell they were the same person. Each looks has its own appeal.
guest
I don’t find her attractive either way. her facial features are centered on her face and too close together.
guest
she has cute chubby cheeks !

@Rebekka Holman@facebook - She’s squinting and has naturally full cheeks. So yeah, her face looks a little ‘swollen’, as you put it.
guest
I think it looks chubby because its contoured by highlighting or blush?

@emptyabyss@xanga - 100% agree about hooded narrow eyes. i’ve looked up pictures of jennifer lawrence to get ideas on eye makeup for my tiny hooded eyes, though mine are cherokee in origin, not scandanavian xD

What are you smoking. She looks like a different person.
guest
@dynamicstars@xanga - I get what you mean with the eye makeup. It is so hard to not look completely insane when you have makeup on hooded eyes. My eyes aren’t quite as small as Jennifers are in the no-makeup shot, but I think she’s squinting. Blake Lively also has hooded eyes if you need some makeup ideas, although she usually keeps it pretty clean.

real people ftw

To be honest, if I had seen her without make up I would not have been like “Oh my god it’s Jennifer Lawrence!!” Only because I do not recognize her but she still looks amazing.

In the picture without makeup she looks like Leelee Sobieski. Personally, I liked her Hunger Games look much more than her “real” one. The darker hair and minimal makeup looks best–The blonde makes her look pudgy.

It’s great she’s confident and great to see that stars can actually look like average human beings too. I spent my youth being afraid I couldn’t make it in the world, because I didn’t look like the stars in magazines and I just couldn’t believe that someone actually invests time into their looks either. (but even the girls in my school did, only I didn’t lol). I thought they are all naturally perfect and I am naturally ugly and whatever nature gave you determines your chances.
I wouldn’t wear a make up that makes me look entirely different
because I’d be afraid ppl wouldn’t recognize me without make up then. Like in the first and second pic… the contrast is too striking. In the
third she looks like the same girl as in the first, only dressed up
though.
guest
her eyes look so much smaller without the makeup.. they kinda look like mine.. maybe that means if I ever get my hands on a professional makeup artist there’s hope for my eyes!! hahaha
she’s great though, I like her
guest
She looks cute without it.

Well, for the record..the sun’s in her eyes.
guest
ew. she looks strange. not very attractive.
guest
She looks okay. It just seems like they really contour the shape of her face when they do her up, really changing her overall appearance.
guest
I know absolutely nothing about her, nor have I see The Hunger Games (and don’t really want to), but I’ve seen snippets of interviews she’s done and from those alone she seems awesome.
guest
Her baby face is more obvious. She still is adorable.

She looks better without it!
guest
I’d hit it. With or without make-up.
guest
she is squinting. If she weren’t squinting, she’d probably look pretty similar with or without make up.
guest
Beautiful!! I love this girl!! She is so down to earth it seems. I hope Hollywood doesn’t change her at all.

The differences in her natural look and made up look are very striking. I never would have guessed this is the same female in both pictures. It’s amazing how fake celebrities of all types truly are once they go through their style rituals, and it’s even more amazing that society accepts it all. Real women believe they have to be just as fake in order to be accepted as beautiful. This chick doesn’t look even remotely similar in these pictures. Whether or not she is a good actress isn’t really the issue here. She very well may be good at her job. And, yes, acting is just a job. A job, that, by the way, is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. But even if she is a good actress, she looks very different in her supposed “natural” picture than in the one where she was clearly made up for hours to appear publicly. How strange society has become.
