If this is your "Santa Claus isn't real" moment, I'm so sorry. Turns out, porn stars aren't everything they appear to be. They wear...MAKEUP. The breasts, though, those are all real. Anyway, some thoughtful stranger collected over 90 images of female adult film stars with and without their makeup on. It's a revealing before-and-after and, to quote a MetaFilter commenter, it "humanizes these women who are often objectified and dehumanized."
And much less tragic than the "celebrity close-ups" day-ruiner.

Jesus Christ! Its like Faces Of Meth in reverse!
Except for Sophie Dee. She can still get it.
Sophie Dee can ALWAYS get it
haha!
The solution is simple: never be around porn stars* unless they are wearing makeup.
*also, movie stars.
Wow, all of these girls look like I need a drink.
you need a high five bro…..I’ll be stealing that line. thaaaanks.
Use it wisely, my child.
I’ve never given much respect to makeup artists but geezus, they’re literally wizards with some of these chicks.
That’s how they go out in public–it’s like a disguise.
Wow, a lot of those girls have terrible skin. I thought the protein baths they receive at the end of every shoot would be good for the skin?!?
It’s actually very bad for the skin. Or so was I told by my ex who wouldn’t let me glaze her face.
The protein baths would be beneficial, if they weren’t also teeming with the herp, which, when combined with the already overly present amount of herpes on her lips/face, tends to counteract all the revitalizing qualities of her do-it-yourself facial.
Sophie Dee still looks good.
Sophie Dee au natural looks like Karen Allen
I take two things away from this.
1. Porn is running out of sensible names
2. Here’s $200 – never run out of makeup ever again.
And that there’s a market for pron featuring a woman who looks like Cher.
Just get you girlfriend to put on porn star makeup and lingerie and she’ll look better than half the porn stars out there.
I tried that with my dakimakura, I just made a mess.
Eva Notty would look pretty good if she toned down the makeup a lot.
Karmin Karma. Just wow!
“You’ve got a little something on your lip. No, no it’s not semen this time”
Just like when I start designing a website from scratch… the beginning stage is always rough but the end product – beautiful! The difference is huge! http://www.blistic.com
Tits or GTFO.
Jessica Mor? Wish it was Jessica Less.
” I wonder if the UFO drops Larkin Love off at the front door or it makes her walk a few blocks.”
From a friend. I can’t take credit for that one.
Some if not all of these look photoshopped.
They’re from the makeup artists instagram. You can go to her page and see more. If I gave much a damm I’d go find it but I don’t.

I wish was their Avon representative, so I could retire and lead a life of luxury.
Wow. Its like I can finally look past the superficiality and into their souls.
Hahaha. “Souls”. Philip, sometimes you slay me.
And Riley Reid is ruined for me.
Please no one ever show me Faye Reagan without makeup.
Spoiler alert: It’s Lindsay Lohan
^ Noooooooo
i agree that Riley Reid one makes me super bummed
Caught the Allie Haze one on Gawker, and she looks good without makeup.
I was surprised at how bad the older women looked, but not surprised about how bad the goths in their 20s were. I guess for the older women it mankes sense because of the decades of tanning and drug abuse. The goths I guess just got into meth earlier.
Stormy Daniels was looking rough if you watch the video.
Yeah, never realised the M stood for Make-up.
Veruca James is perfect.
It was downhill from there, that’s for sure.
Yea, I was all “Well she’s still cute”
But after that
Oh god…..
Kimberly Gates looks better without makeup than with.
I think several of them do, several other look bad either way. I guess we are the only ones.
I feel much better about my surfing habits since I was only able to recognize 2 of these women.
I never would’ve guessed Annika Amour (number 16) was wearing makeup.
Make-up or no, I don’t recognize any of these girls. Maybe put a cock in their mouths. That should help.
Also, Karmin Karma’s herp-sore is perfect. Just…perfect.
There is a lot of actresses getting their herpes covered up by make up…someone should probably let the dudes know.
I should qualify the statement that just Karmin Karma appears to need that.
Betty White does that.
Veruca James: Still cute as hell.
I’m now pretty certain I’ve seen Chanel Preston perform without makeup.
And having said that, I hasten to add that I have heard of almost none of the others.
A lot of these women just have bad skin. There were a couple that looked like they have been ravaged by the extreme use of meth, but most look like average women you would see walking in a super market or something.
Tori Black still looks amazing to me. Holly Michaels is forever unclean now though, ugh.
Because yes, I watched the full 90 photos.
Holly Michaels looks very young in that picture, like, “holy shit, I better click off this right now because the feds might be tracking this” young.
Cassandra Nix, on the other hand, still looks damn good.
I don’t know names but 1 and 11 are still cute
Tori Black and Allie Haze are hot.
Alexis Monroe isn’t that bad either.
Most of them still look attractive, even without the make up. Eva Notty looks about 10 years younger than the characters she usually plays.
I’ve never heard of most of these ladies; but that might be because I don’t go for the heavily made-up look. The amount of lipstick and mascara some of them are wearing is crazy.
Also, I’ve decided I need to look up Veruca James.
Misty Stone and Charmane Starr are both really attractive either way.
OOOOOFFFF!
I have not heard of ONE of these pornstars. These must be the Great Value class of actresses. I’m going to give you one name and you remember it well- Mia Malkova.
It just makes me long for the days of a full bush and no tattoos.
What’s a porn?
NOOOOOOOO!
They need some Oil of a Lay.
oh my god puma swede oh my goddddd. i regret this post so much now
2 things
1) Proactive really needs to get involved in porn
2) I can’t help but wonder what the hell hollywood actresses must do in their downtime because I’d say on average, the porn stars look better than actresses. They weren’t as bad as I thought they’d look. With that said, there’s some really scary ladies out there.
I’d say at least half of these girls are cuties without the makeup. But the others — without naming names — not so much (which isn’t entirely fixed by makeup, either), and at least one is just a straight-up disaster. Too many surgeries.
Without makeup Draven Star looks like she got 2 black eyes.
The Tatiyana Foxx transformation is flat out scary.
AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! KILL IT WITH FIRE
Numbers 1and 11 are the only cute ones without make up. Holy shit what a busted crew.
without make up tori lux looks like skrillex
So uh I checked out all 90 and I think I know what Nitzche meant when he said- When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you.
Although proxy Paige could still get it
Double-wrap and do ‘em from behind. In the dark.
There’s some wizardry at work here.
Draven Star has got the case of the Nicholsons
Did anyone else get a fear boner after watching this?
With or without makeup, some of those bitches just look god awful.
Mariah Mars will always look good. No matter what.
On the upside, at least they won’t be recognized by their stalkers when they pop out to the store to get a cup of Meth.
I guess I find it funny they take so much time to get their faces made up only to have jizz shot all over them. Bless them all.
Does this “makeup” include collagen and botox? Some of these girls look completely normal before and then completely artificial after. Also, without makeup, a lot of these girls are pretty cute. Some of them are old, and others, well, they’re just unfortunate.
