Ten Disney Channel favorites let fans see them without a single swipe of foundation.

Before Instagram made barefaced selfies a daily ritual, Disney Channel’s biggest names were already trading their on-screen glam for the real thing. The 10-star countdown from TheThings Celebrity strips away the red-carpet styling and studio lighting that defined shows like “Wizards of Waverly Place,” “Hannah Montana” and “Shake It Up,” putting the network’s breakout actresses next to their own unfiltered selfies. What’s left is a lineup built entirely on contrast — glossy premiere photos on one side, fresh skin and no concealer on the other.

• Selena Gomez, the “Wizards of Waverly Place” star, tops the list after years of posting candid, unedited no-makeup photos to Instagram.
• “Liv and Maddie” star Dove Cameron addressed her fans directly with a barefaced selfie, writing, “This is what I look like most days, y’all!”
• The video comes from TheThings Celebrity, a digital entertainment channel that launched under the TheTalko network banner in 2015.

Selena Gomez Sets the Tone

Selena Gomez opens the countdown, and it’s not a random pick — she’s been posting bare-skin photos to Instagram for years, long before “no-makeup selfie” became a hashtag other celebrities felt obligated to use. Gomez broke out on “Wizards of Waverly Place” playing a character who was, by design, always camera-ready. The gap between that polished network kid and the woman posting unfiltered close-ups to millions of followers is exactly the split the video is built around.

Dove Cameron’s Direct Message to Fans

Dove Cameron, who built her fan base on “Liv and Maddie,” didn’t just get caught without makeup — she volunteered the photo herself. Her caption cut straight past any speculation about filters or lighting.

“This is what I look like most days, y’all!”

That one line is basically the thesis of the entire video: the gap between the styled Disney Channel persona and the actual daily face isn’t a scandal, it’s just Tuesday.

Zendaya, Bella Thorne and Miley Cyrus Round Out the Marquee Names

The compilation doesn’t stop with Gomez and Cameron. Zendaya, who came up on “Shake It Up” and later became a go-to name on best-dressed lists, gets the same treatment — stripped of the styling team that usually accompanies her red-carpet appearances. Her “Shake It Up” co-star Bella Thorne appears as well, known for candid social posts that skip the retouching entirely. Miley Cyrus, still tied in the public imagination to her “Hannah Montana” days, rounds out the group as another Disney alum whose makeup-free posts have drawn attention for looking almost nothing like her old Disney Channel headshots.

A Format Built on Before-and-After

What ties all ten entries together isn’t gossip — it’s the same visual trick every entry in the “stars without makeup” genre relies on: pairing a heavily lit, professionally styled shot against a phone-camera selfie. TheThings Celebrity, operating under the same TheTalko network that launched in 2015, built a chunk of its early catalog on exactly this kind of list-driven, contrast-based video, and the Disney Channel angle gave it a built-in audience of former tweens who grew up watching these same actresses under network makeup lights.

The video’s whole argument rests on Dove Cameron’s caption doing the talking for her — no press statement, no publicist, just a selfie and nine words that turned a routine Instagram post into the anchor moment of a top-10 list.
