No one actually wakes up void of flaws, not even the A-list women we look to for beauty inspiration. They, too, combat dry skin, blotchy spots and the effects of gravitational pull on the face.

We are not always privy to the well-concealed truth, but every now and again we get a glimpse of our favorite stars, fully exposed and imperfect. And we are inspired by their radiance and natural beauty that, in our eyes, makes them closer to being flawless than they are with makeup.
