Layers of foundation, shiny lip gloss, thick-eye liner, a dash of powdered rouge -- showbiz is all about the eye-candy. And for most Bollywood Cinderellas, make-up is the closest they get to having a real Fairy Godmother.
In today's age of rampant beautification, it is quite rare to spot a lady being herself (read 'no make-up').
While most heroines look shockingly plain without the greasepaint on, there are a special few who make a pleasant sight in their clean, scrubbed appearances as well.
rediff.com takes a look at this au naturale set:
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
She's frequently referred to as the most beautiful woman in the world. And with good reason.
Even without any cosmetic aide, Ash's glowing complexion and surreal eyes are potent enough to affirm her larger-than-life good looks. The Jodhaa Akbar stunner floored the viewers in her non/minimal make-up avatars in films like Chokher Bali, Raincoat, Provoked and Guru.
