Nicole Richie and Harlow Madden in Maui Pictures Photos

I think Harlow looks absolutely stunning without makeup. She can definitely rock the au natural look.

Nicole? Not so much.

In Maui on NYE.

    Ok, Nicole always looks young but without make-up she could pass for 12. Seriously. I don’t know if she looks bad or not.. just YOUNG

  2. Jen B. says:

    Wow. She’s ugly.

  3. Just Saying says:

    She is bra-less also. I think she is spending her time taking care of her baby, instead of that other stuff she used to think was so important.

  4. Lynn says:

    I like Nicole….but…

    She.Looks.Really.Bad

    The shape of her eyes is very unflattering

  5. carol says:

    she has always been ugly.
    thank god she has money to have beautiful hair, clothes and makeup.

  6. Andrea says:

    I think she looks great…natural and content to be a mom instead of obsessing over feeding the celebrity vanity machine. I’ve thought little of her in some past incarnations, but I’ve really been pleasantly surprised with how she’s seemed to turn out.

      Some people do better than others at hiding natural flaws. Nicole Ritchie does well, look up stars without make-up, its not so pretty. I was always more confused about WHY”" Nicole Richie is a celebrity. Because she knows Paris Hilton< who isn’t famous for anything? Reality T.V. is not talent, it’s just a train wreck. If you like it your brain cells are shrinking!

  7. gNorah says:

    Ugh, she looks terrible. I understand she’s all mom-on-the-go now, but dayum, how hard is it to swipe on some mascara or brush her hair?

    • Lorelei says:

      When they’re that little, some days it’s close to impossible. Also, you can brush your hair 20 times a day and the kid still runs their hands through it and messes it up.

  8. Lee says:

    She looks like a real person, and a normal mom. I suppose y’all would rather gaze on Christina Aguilera, who celebrates motherhood by always looking like a hideously garish space alien from Planet Maybelline.

    The attitude that celebrities are not supposed to go out of doors without being coiffed and gooped up to the nines has always been confusing to me. Doesn’t everyone duck out to the store now and then in their jammie bottoms, pre-shower? I can’t be the only one.

    • Persistent Cat says:

      I’d rather die then go outside in my “jammie” bottoms. Nothing drives me more crazy then seeing girls out in public with pyjama bottoms and Ugg boots.

      • Jitterbuggin' Betty says:

        Ditto.
        I understand if you don’t want to do makeup or have a hairstyle that requires more than a hairband and a maximum of one bobbypin…
        I don’t understand why you would ever leave your house without full-on, legitimate, public-place-appropriate clothing. Or, in Nicole Richie’s case, without brushing your hair. Seriously, 45 seconds can make all the difference, Nicole; just give it a try.

  9. Kayla says:

    I believe that outer apperance doesn’t matter. I don’t think anyone should judge on what she looks like with or without makeup.

  10. lolly says:

    i think she looks a whole lot better than i do in those circumstances.

    shes very bohemian lately.

  11. Persistent Cat says:

    Considering her “career” has been based on appearances and getting her picture taken, I think we can all pass judgement. Some women look great without make-up, she doesn’t. And she’s not a regular mom, she’s got tons of cash and helpers so I think she could find the time to put on some mascara.

  12. shhhhhhutit says:

    anyone who criticizes her is an idiot. how hot was your mom when you were a baby?

  13. mambaX says:

    the kid looks cute
    I just remembered how I looked when my firstborn did not give me a minute of rest
    I had big circles around the eyes
    I almost could not leave home because he was always crying
    and if I left home, I always felt i looked like s**t
    and I did,
    Nicole can afford the nannies I could not
    and honestly would not, at the time
    so, if she does not look spectacular in the pic
    it’s just because she just doesn’t wish to

  14. quirkygirlkitten says:

    i think she looks cute and very natural.

  15. woohoo says:

    I’d like to direct everyone’s attention to the footwear of the women behind Nicole. THAT’S a problem.

  16. Emma says:

    all she needed to do was slap on a pair of oversized sunglasses and a head scarf and she would have been fine.
    but i kinda like the natural new mom thing she has going on

  17. CatCatAttack says:

    High percentage of bitter on this site.
    She looks fine. What the hell is wrong with most of you? People like you is why it’s becoming more normal to not be normal if you don’t spend an hour in front of the mirror every morning.
    My first thought was her momma must have liked men with “sleepy eyes” because Nicole’s eye’s look a lot like Lionel’s even though he’s not her biological father.

  19. Persistent Cat says:

    CatCatAttack, what’s her career been about? Seriously, what has she done? A couple of reality tv shows. For everything else, she’s been paid to make appearances at clubs and has manipulated the paparazzi into becoming classified as a celebrity. For that reason alone, she can be mocked.

    If there were pictures of Cate Blanchett or Gwen Stefani or even Jennifer Lopez looking like that, I wouldn’t say boo because they actually work for a living. She’s just some overprivileged rich girl who absolutely needs make-up to look somewhat decent.

    And I’m not bitter nor jealous. Well, maybe I wish I was a rich kid who didn’t need to work but that’s my cross to bear.

  20. Talia says:

    That’s a seriously cute baby.

  21. arp arp says:

    honestly I just think it was at a bad angle…or bad timing. I do love Richie though. :-D

  22. medea says:

    I’m suprised no one pointed out the giantess standing behind her. Aren’t things supposed to look bigger when they are closer to the lense?

  23. Cat says:

    Jealously? Gone.

  24. Liv says:

    She just looks normal. Not ugly, not beautiful (though she really can be!) She’s just a normal young woman with a new baby. Harlow is adorable, and her mommy is equally so.

  25. mahsa says:

    I dont know, Nicole just looks…normal. Not completely horrid, but not nice looking either. Just is.

  26. SimpleJack says:

    Uhhhg! She looks like that mutant bitch strapped to Will Smiths lab table in I Am Legend. I am surprised her flesh isn’t burning in that photo. Is that her nipple at the half way point of her torso? One more kid and she won’t need a bra. She could put her breasts in her fanny-pack.

  27. Jasmine says:

    How many of you have babies? You’re going to tell me that you have never left the house with no makeup and without showering? Let me tell you that sometimes there is NO time to do anything. Also, maybe she doesn’t want an assistant to help her, she probably wants to do it on her own. I highly doubt that any of you look better than her without makeup. Or if you do, you’re probably a lot fatter than her.

    Her breasts are normal. She probably nurses and yeah if you nurse your boobs aren’t exactly as perky as they once were.

    I think she’s pretty, has great skin and looks fine.

    You should spend some time working on yourself instead of insulting other people. Losers.
