We all know the real reason why Katy Perry divorced her comedian/actor husband, Russell Brand so quickly – why, he just kept stealing eyeliner from Katy’s vanity case, and she soon decided that enough was enough. Using lipstick, Katy daubed the following on the couple’s bathroom mirror, “This marriage ain’t big enough for two chicks.”

However, being the beauty that she is, she was never short of dates afterwards. Maintaining sex symbol status means constantly being dolled up but we do on occasion witness Katy Perry with no makeup on at all.

Russell really stuck the boot in when he tweeted a photo of Katy Perry without makeup upon waking from a nap (see below), probably signaling the ultimate death knell for their fraught relationship.

Although Katy’s skin looks very good here, that worried facial expression doesn’t do the 27-year-old any favors. She may have cottoned on to her eerie resemblance to actress Zooey Deschanel:”Oh nooo, she looks just like me.”

Greasy haired and shiny faced, Katy looks a million miles away from her glamorous self. Her big blue saucer eyes do still kind of stand out but it is so hard to see beyond the oily skin.

Taken from a clip in her concert movie ‘Part Of Me’, the second image of the makeup-free entertainer sees her having fun with her wacky stage costumes. With outfits like that, you really do need to see the funny side.

It is safe to say that bare faced, Katy is reasonably plain looking. This photo is not unflattering this time so there is less shock factor here. When her hair isn't a mess and she is happily smiling it is easier to appreciate her pretty eyes which are sizable even without eyeliner drawing them out. Her skins tone is a lot more even here, so on a good day, Katy Perry without makeup isn't atrocious, and when smiling is actually adorable.
