17 Pics Of Celebs Flaunting Their Imperfections On Social Media

Nobody is perfect. Everyone has imperfections, and that includes celebrities. There's a lot of pressure for celebrities to look a certain way, so we always thought they looked flawless on-screen and off-screen with their perfect makeup and body, but the truth is, they have flaws and imperfections just like us. Celebrities like Bella Thorne, Demi Lovato, and Ashely Graham have shamelessly pointed out their so-called "flaws" in their candid photos to share with everyone on social media and to tell them that flaws are okay. When celebrities embrace their cellulite or stretch marks, it could really help others to embrace theirs, too.

Makeup-free selfies have been a celebrity trend for a while now, and it seems like more celebrities are posting acne-cream selfies. Acne is something we all have dealt with or still deal with, and it's not pleasant. It tends to make you feel ugly and insecure. So - it's a bold move for these celebrities to be honest with how they really look like with no makeup. It shows that they also struggle with acne, dark circles, bushy eyebrows, well, you name it.

It's refreshing when celebrities post pictures that are not photoshopped. They're an inspiration to us all. We thank these celebrities for keeping it real.

She captioned: “That bruxism mouthguard life.” She has to wear a mouthguard to keep her from grinding her teeth while sleeping. Teeth grinding could be annoying for your partner, but most importantly, it could seriously damage your teeth. While many people are embarrassed to admit that they grind their teeth, Mindy shared the news with her followers and practically everyone. Wearing a mouthguard in your 30s is something we probably don't really want anyone to see, but she didn't seem to mind. She looks happy in her selfie, and she's rocking the mouthguard.

We can tell that she's barefaced with no makeup, and we definitely can't miss her bushy, unplucked eyebrows and messy hair with gray roots.

It seems like she's confident with the way she looks, and she wanted to share with everyone that this is really her. Many of her fans appreciated her for having the courage to post this not-so-glamorous selfie of her, and they loved her more for keeping it real.

15 Legs? No. Eyebrows? No. Tracee Ellis Ross Waxes Her Nose Hairs

Many of you have probably waxed your legs, eyebrows, and underarms, but how many of you have waxed your nose hair? If you've never done it, and you're thinking of trying it, then first take a look at the video Black-ish actress Tracee Ellis posted on Instagram when she went nose hair waxing. You might want to trim instead. Anyways, the video shows her lying down with a q-tip coated in hot wax inside her left nose. She demanded the q-tip to be taken out, and once it was removed, she yelled and cursed. The process looked awfully painful! Apparently, we get more hair on our body as we get older, so some people are tempted to get rid of that nose hair because nobody really wants strands of hair sticking out of their nose.

Many women whose bra size is either A or even a B are self-conscious of their bust because they think they're too small. They don't like what they see in the mirror, and they're envious of their friends who have a bigger bust. They should embrace them - there are perks of having a smaller bust. Some men actually prefer small to big and some simply don't care. If anything, a pushup bra will give enough oomph.

She told Byrdie that she started getting acne when she turned 21, and she had clear complexion before then. She said, “My skin just went nuts.” After some trial and error, Lucy finally figured out a regimen that works for her, and she's been sticking religiously to her beauty routine.

Fans admired her when she posted her bare leg (after shaving) on Instagram with a caption: “Missed a spot… ” Her leg looks smooth for the most part except for a small patch of blonde hair on her shin. Anyone who shaves their legs can probably relate to her. We take about 10-20 minutes shaving our leg hoping that we don't miss a spot, and it's frustrating when we notice that we did miss a spot. It's seriously hard to shave every inch of your legs. We love that Jessica shamelessly shared her unshaved leg with us because it shows that she also struggles with shaving.

While many people praised her for her outstanding performance, there were also people who criticized her body, specifically her stomach. She wore a crop top with football-inspired shoulder pads, sparkly hot pants, and matching boots. The crop top bared her stomach, and some people commented that she should've covered up her rolls because it was unattractive to see or told her to do something about her muffin top. It seems like they were paying a little too close attention to her stomach rather than listening to her music and enjoying the show. As expected, Lady Gaga clapped back at the body shamers on her Instagram (picture above).

Some of her followers actually didn't notice the zit before she drew an arrow pointing at it.
