The first thing that springs to mind when we think of B-town is the glamorous world and stunning Bollywood actresses with beautiful faces. However, these actresses may be gorgeous, they do not look the same all the time. That is to say, Bollywood actresses are not always conventionally beautiful. Their skin, like ours, isn't always as flawless as it appears on screen.
The actresses you see on screens are usually wearing makeup, and it's worth noting that the way makeup sets on skin on camera vs in person is vastly different. Other than how it's shown on screens, people can have open pores, acne, pigmentation, discoloration or some medical condition and it's absolutely normal. Other factors, such as professional camera settings also contribute to unattainable standards that are unfair to achieve.
If you've ever criticised your appearance after comparing it to that of actresses, here are some photos of your favourite actress without makeup, demonstrating that there is no such thing as flawless skin and that even celebrities aren't always conventional beauty. These photos of actresses without makeup will instill confidence in you and convince you that you do not need to hide behind Instagram filters or hide your beautiful face thinking that they are not beautiful enough.
