The April issue of French Elle is themed "Stars Without Makeup"—no makeup or Photoshopping for any of the issue's three cover models: Monica Belluci, Eva Herzigova and Sophie Marceau.
Here's a look at the covers juxtaposed with photos of each starlet all done up. The verdict: human women can be beautiful without glorified paint all over their faces.

I love you guys, I do, but to click through all those links is such a pain when you post stuff like this. It's lucky you guys are witty or I wouldn't bother.
le sigh…Rhonda, why is it that you make every post about the Obama's?
are you THAT myopic?
whoa…bestillmyheart….
has Rhonda been DELETED?
Uh, is this supposed to make us feel better? I thought the photo covers were the after pictures! Sigh.
It musta been what I said about Sophie Marceau!
this is so depressing. they're just as beautiful, if not more, without makeup. And all these years, I had been convincing myself that cover girls were only attractive because makeup artists had spent hours "doing them up"
Louise, take heart.
there are PLENTY of women who fall into that category you say. that is, they're only looking good due to some heavy makeup.
google "stars without make up" and you'll find a wealth of pics to make you feel better!
I always say: don't bring a woman to the bed that you don't like how the look when she wakes up… Belluci is welcomed to my bed.
Oh please. Don't tell me that a light or two on the street actually make you feel safe. Do you see how much darkness there is around here.
I'm waiting for you.
Some women do look more pretty without makeup, while others certainly need a dab of lipstick or a brush of cheek color on their faces to look more attractive. It's actually a case to case basis.

@Anna Alfafara:
and some women look prettier with a garbage bag over their head!
they all look so beautiful! i think this no-makeup shoot was a really positive idea.
The question is: How many models did they have to go through before they found three that looked good sans-makeup?
Yeah, People did this and the celebrities without makeup still looked a million times better than they did in candids without makeup.
Kady- The photographer has to make them look as good as possible and they manipulate other aspects. They're even still wearing products on their faces, just not things that are technically makeup. Why else work with professionals?
There are better examples… but, ya know, lazy.
Oh, that's the People without makeup shot.
How about an issue featuring only models without eating disorders?
