People are so accustomed to see their favourite filmstars in glamorous avatars that they often don't realise the difference between reality and what is being shown on camera. In her recent Instagram post, actress Lara Dutta shared her before and after makeup looks and shared how it takes an entire team of people to make actors looks good enough for cameras.

Lara wrote, “Keeping it real!!! This was me at 7 pm tonight, right after a killer workout that wiped me out!!! The next image is me 2 hours later, ready to head out to celebrate my fraternity. What’s the point??? Just that it’s important to know that none of us wake up looking like the way we do in the numerous glam photos you see of us!!"

The actress further added, "It takes a small village to get us there!! In my case, hairdresser extraordinaire @clarabellesaldanha, my trusty makeup pouch and a favourite, jewelled tone colour. No matter how your days been, it’s important to get dressed and show up- for yourself."
