Twitter trend: celebrities without make-up

Of all the celebrity trends, this one is absolutely gold, beauties.  I mean, it’s hard enough to get an unknown lady to trek down the street without a scrap of make-up on, let alone force famous folk to do the same. But some stars are different. Really different. They’re willing to go sans make-up and, better yet, post an image of their slap-free face on the internet for all to see. Anna-Lynne McCord is one of these legends. The 90210 starlet took to Twitter to share a somewhat brutal photo of her mug without any make-up. Yep, no concealer on her pimples, no mascara on her lashes, and no lippie on her lips. How. Stinkin’. Brave. Just to make us adore her even more, the words that accompanied said Twitter image were absolutely glorious: "I woke up this morning and decided I'm over Hollywood's perfection requirement. To all my girls (and boys) who have ever been embarrassed by their skin! I salute you! I'm not perfect - and that's okay with me!" For someone who most likely struggles with her appearance on a daily basis because of Hollywood’s perfection ideals, it’s absolutely grand to see her go fresh-faced, especially considering she’s one of many A-listers who battle problematic skin. Here’s to Anna-Lynne McCord! (Hint: raise your champagne glasses now, beauties.) In honour of her bravery, we’ve put together a gallery featuring other celebrities who’ve taken the no make-up Twitter pic leap. Sure, it’s a little indulgent of them to do so, but we’re stoked to see that underneath all that stage make-up they’re pretty much just like us.

Are you impressed with Anna-Lynne McCord’s bare-faced Twitter picture? Would you be brave enough to do the same if you were famous?
