‘The Talk’ Proves ‘No Makeup’ Trend Is Still Controversial (And Necessary)

'The Talk' Proves 'No Makeup' Trend Is Still Controversial (And Necessary)

The entire cast of CBS’ ‘The Talk‘ went no makeup for their Season 3 premier yesterday, wearing barely-styled hair and bathrobes to emphasize their just-rolled-out-of-bed look.

Photos of Sofia Vergara without makeup are floating around the internet, along with mixed messages about how she still looks good without makeup, but she sure looks great when she hires a stylist and gets glammed up for the camera, too: “Sofia Vergara started off with a blank slate Tuesday morning in NYC — where skilled make-up technicians on set for her new movie “New Year’s Eve” were able to rearrange her face,” says TMZ. “She really pales in comparison … to herself.” Yuck, TMZ.
