Porn Stars Without Makeup

Monday, March 11th by

Well, looky here. Porn stars—they're just like us—they look different with makeup on!  The powers of the Internet today, tracked down the work of a porn star makeup artist who goes by the name Melissa Makeup, showing porn stars with and without makeup. What's incredible about Melissa's work is her ability to transform each one of her clients, regardless of age, into waxy, doll-like figures the industry loves.

Take this fresh-faced star, Dani Daniels.

Compared to the more mature actress, Puma Swede.

With the help of Melissa, they look virtually the same and camera-ready.

What's also striking about the photos is as TheGloss's Jamie Peck points out, the before photos show the oft-overlooked humanity of the porn star. She's just a regular girl pre-makeup, while the made-up look shows the beauty ideal of the adult entertainment industry. Makeup, in this case, is a huge part of the job. Check out more of the before-and-after looks below and on Melissa' Instagram. 

Amy is the editorial director of OkGorgeous and Ladyish. Like Mindy Kaling, Amy grew up on a diet of romantic comedies, and as a result, has an imaginary one playing in her head at all times. Unlike, Mindy, she has yet to turn this into a marketable skill. Her greatest pleasures are Northern California beaches, dirty dance floors, vintage ephemera, and designer coffee. (Google+)
