Here at HuffPost Style, we love a good made-up look as much as the next celebrity hitting the red carpet. An intense smoky eye, a slick, winged-out liner and a bright red lip can certainly do wonders and turn heads. But sometimes we're just tired, and wearing absolutely no makeup at all just feels so good.
In fact, we've really been digging the more natural looks stars have been wearing out and about recently. After all, it's summer -- hardly a season that calls for dramatic makeup. Behold, 12 reasons you should drop the foundation and brave the masses without any makeup on.
Sometimes you can just get a little too carried away, and your smoky eye ends up in flames. (Sorry, Taylor Momsen.)

Or they notice... and it's not a good thing...
Makeup is expensive! Take some time to calculate all the money you've spent on makeup and then think about what you could have bought with that money instead...

Nothing feels as great as just-cleansed, fresh skin.
If Beyoncé can brave her bare face in a documentary for the whole world to see, then we can too.
Because a girl who is confident in her own natural skin is more beautiful than any girl who wears all the makeup in the world.
