Sofia Vergara gets ready for her close-up... but still looks beautiful without a scrap of make-up



We are used to seeing her on the red carpet or on set, dressed to the nines and looking drop dead gorgeous.

But even stripped down and without a scrap of make-up 38-year-old Sofia Vergara is still an absolutely stunning woman.

The Modern Family actress was spotted bare-faced as she headed onto the set of her new film New Year's Eve yesterday and proved that even in her natural state she is enviably beautiful.

The actress rushed through the cold set to the make-up trailer clutching her script and, after a short time, emerged camera-ready.



The actress had even had an artificial fringe attached into her long dark hair.

She then filmed scenes with comedian Russell Peters in front of the Brooklyn Museum.

The pair joked and fooled around for the cameras in between takes with Sofia, 38, pretending to kick Russell in his behind.
