'The Talk' Hosts and CBS Soap Stars Go Makeup-Free

Bing: More about "The Talk" | "The Young and the Restless" | "The Bold and the Beautiful" 

Hosts Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Sara Gilbert, Sheryl Underwood and Aisha Tyler didn't just lose the makeup, lashes, clothes and, in Underwood's case, wig. They also put their unpainted selves side by side with the beautified versions daytime fans are used to seeing.

The three soap opera vixens also went bare, as seen in the clip below. Take a look at how Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) of "The Young and the Restless" and Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke) of "The Bold and the Beautiful" look before they hit hair and makeup every day.

Underwood cracked a few jokes and Gilbert admitted she was nervous, but the soap divas had no issue with their big reveals. Scott noted she's often played scenes au naturel and as fans know, she has often taken Nikki to dark places, looking worse for ware when story dictates. Stafford and Lang revealed they usually go out into the world without makeup, anyway. 

Osbourne, of course, had a bit of a leg up over the whole crew, thanks to plastic surgery and permanent makeup.
