James Charles and More Beauty Influencers With and Without Makeup

Updated Feb. 8 2021, 4:10 p.m. ET

The online beauty community is full of influencers who made names for themselves solely based on their ability to apply makeup in ways that don't seem humanly possible.
These largely self-taught artists — like James Charles, Jeffree Star, and Jaclyn Hill — now have millions of followers on multiple social platforms and their own cosmetics lines. It's no surprise, however, that fans wonder what their favorite beauty gurus look like without their signature beat faces.
Luckily for those curious fans, we did some digging and found rare makeup-free pics of the most popular beauty vloggers in the game. So, keep scrolling to see your favorite beauty vloggers without makeup. Spoiler alert: they are still flawless.
1. James Charles

Love him or hate him, there is no denying that James Charles looks just as fabulous in a full face of makeup, or showing off his freckles in a morning selfie.
2. Jaclyn Hill

It's not often that Jaclyn Hill shows off her makeup-free face on social media, but when she does, we still can't get over her flawless complexion.
"Cleaning & organizing today! Feels so good to be fresh faced and focus on myself & my home," she captioned this no makeup moment on Twitter in 2015.

"When I hit a point in my journey towards a healthier lifestyle where I feel like nothing’s changing I take a trip down memory lane and remind myself of how far I’ve come," she wrote. "Sometimes YOU have to be YOUR OWN inspiration."
5. Manny Gutierrez

It looks like someone used a makeup-free photo of Manny to catfish users on a dating app, but it was the age assigned to his fake profile that got Manny up in arms.
"Catfishing with my pics is one thing... but 43?!?!?!? I'm calling the police and on hold with my lawyer," he jokingly captioned a screenshot of the profile.
