We don't even like to run to the grocery store without at least a touch of powder and a swipe (or three) of mascara, so we're pretty much in awe of the celebrities who have posed for the cover of French Elle without a stitch of makeup on their faces. Admit it -- you are, too!

Eva Herzigova, 36, Monica Bellucci, 44, and Sophie Marceau, 42, each have their own 'Stars Sans Fards' (or Stars Without Rouge/Makeup) French Elle cover, as you can see above. And we think it's a good reminder that a steady hand with the makeup brush doesn't equal beauty -- not only do these women have gorgeous features, but there's something inherently attractive about their openness and willingness to be themselves for all the world to see.

This isn't the first time stars have been (willingly) featured without being made up -- People magazine did a gallery of beautiful stars with bare faces last year. However, the People gallery makes serious use of lighting and Photoshop effects, while the Elle covers appear to be extremely natural.

Now, raise your hand if you're dying to know what skincare routine these beauties follow!
