Tyra Banks No Makeup Selfie Surprises Fans

Tyra Banks No Makeup Selfie

Tyra Banks decided to give her fans a surprise by posting a picture of herself on Instagram with absolutely no makeup on.

In the no makeup Instagram post, Banks expressed how she had a tough time convincing herself not to add a bit of concealer on top of the dark circles below her eyes, but in the end, decided not to.

The 41-year-old former super model shared the post to show her fans the “real her.” She said that she wanted the world to know that she didn’t wake up every morning looking all dolled up and glamorous.

In the long Instagram post, Banks said:

You know how people say #nofilter but you know there’s a freakin’ filter on their pic? Or maybe there’s a smidge of retouching going on but they’re lying and saying it’s all raw & real? Well, this morn, I decided to give you a taste of the really real me. I wanted to smooth out my dark circles so badly!!! But I was like, “Naw, Ty. Show ’em the REAL you.” So…here I am. Raw. And there YOU are…looking at me, studying this picture. Maybe you’re thinking, “Whoa, she looks ROUGH.” And if you are, great! You deserve to see the REAL me. The REALLY real me.#RawandReal.

Banks later followed up the no make-up selfie with a dolled up pic of herself kissing her reflection in the mirror.

Yesterday, I woke up and felt like showing you the me you deserved to see. #RawAndReal Today, I want to continue to keep it real. Why? Because we ALL know I don't walk around looking like the bare-faced photo I posted yesterday. Almost everyday, I rock mascara, blush up my cheeks and throw concealer on those damn dark circles under my eyes I was so tempted to touch up on my raw pic yesterday. The painted face you're looking at right now…THIS is REALLY me, too. Is it raw? Heck no! Is it real? The jury's out on that, but I say, "Yeah." I know what you're thinking. "What???!!!" It's real because I'm keepin' it REAL by admitting I need to put stuff on my face to look like a supermodel. (Add a lil' retouching and Wham, the final look is complete!) Yeah, I wished I woke up looking flawless, but that just ain't me. Not at all. And I'm not ashamed to admit it. None of us should be. #RougeAndReal
