"I've actually never gone makeup-free for my readers without wearing sunglasses, because I often use makeup to cover up my dark circles or I use mascara to make my eyes pop. But I'm all about showing your natural beauty, so it does feel great to go makeup-free for my readers."

"I feel very comfortable looking natural on my blog as it's an accurate reflection of what I look like in everyday life. My blog is about my life, so I want my readers to see me, get to know me and feel connected to me. I actually feel more nervous when I wear a lot of makeup on the blog, because I feel like it takes away from the fashion and the personal story that I try to tell through every blog post."

"As a teenager I battled with acne and always felt like heavy foundations, concealers and makeup only worsened the situation. At the end of the day I'm always more comfortable without makeup. I've yet to receive a negative comment [on my blog], but I'm sure higher readership will bring diverse opinions and I always welcome them."

Beauty bloggers make a living showing us new and gorgeous ways to apply makeup and style hair. They produce a goldmine of makeup tutorials and beauty how-tos that teach and inspire. (Because, let's be honest, can you ever recreate that perfect smoky eye or flawless face after a stint in the makeup chair at Sephora?) So what happens when a beauty blogger takes it all off? Every last bit of makeup ... gone. And not the Saturday morning, just rolled out of bed "no makeup" makeup look. We're talking washed clean, photographed and posted -- for the whole world to see.

These brave souls stripped down to zero makeup products to show us their untouched, no-makeup face. See what they look like sans fards and how it felt to reveal their au natural look to the world.
