She may have her own beauty brand, but that doesn’t mean that Selena Gomez doesn’t love to strip off her makeup every now and again too! The 30-year-old Only Murders in the Building star proved that she was a true natural beauty when she shared another makeup-free picture on Instagram this week, and almost broke the internet as fans couldn’t contain their excitement when she showed off her bare-faced complexion *and* natural curls!

The “Lose You To Love Me” hitmaker uploaded a stunning selfie while donning a cozy, zig-zag-patterned white and orange sweater with her long hair worn down. Gomez’s curly tresses shimmered in the sunlight, as they boasted radiant highlights.
The “Wolves” singer’s dewy, glowy skin also didn’t go unnoticed by fans, as many commended her for promoting an “all natural” look for her 380 million followers. In her caption, Gomez wrote, “I liked my hair back then.. should I do it again?”
“Yes! U r gorgeous always!” one user commented, as another added, “love it!! so beautiful.” Others left heart-eyes, red hearts and fire emojis as her famous friends also left sweet words under her post. “Yes!!!” Zoe Saldana wrote as Lupita Nyong’o replied with red hearts.
Gomez’s Wizards of Waverly Place co-star Maria Canals-Barrera also touched Gomez’s longtime fans as she wrote, “From one curly girl to another… yes. Let’s rock our curls in 2023.”
Selena Gomez Shows Off Natural Curls And Bare Face In Makeup-Free Pictures
The Rare Beauty founder also posted a three image carousel on February 1st that consisted of two makeup-free pictures of herself posing inside wearing a bold blue sweater, with her cropped brunette hair worn in a natural, curly, down do. The third picture seemed to be taken outside in natural light, and showed the "Calm Down" singer wearing a black sweater instead. Her gorgeous natural curls were still proudly on display, and again, there didn’t seem to be a single drop of makeup on her face.
Predictably, the "People You Know" singer's fans were in awe of her effortless, natural beauty, and also thanked her for being so refreshing by showing off her makeup-free and filter-free self without trying to disguise the small blemishes many other A-listers might be tempted to hide.
Fans React To Selena Gomez's Makeup-Free Pictures
Selena's fans thanked her for "being real," by sharing those images, with one fan saying, "I’ll take this over any @kardashians fake filtered uninspiring selfies," and another adding, "Thank you for showing up as a genuinely wholesome human being and someone I am in awe of. Scrolling on Instagram only for a short while will expose the unrealistic standards of beauty. If you know someone well, you’ll know they’re only showing the best bits online."
"I wish I could thank you for posting this. You may not realize the support you put in multiple people's self-esteem! You're beautiful," gushed one grateful fan in the comments section. "You look so much younger without makeup!" exclaimed another. "Real, truth, beauty, honesty. True natural!" added another Selenator, followed by the red heart emoji. "REAL beauty right here," wrote another fan, while another said, "Finally a celebrity looks like a real person! I love you so much for doing this. And not to mention this is the most beautiful I have ever seen you," followed by the red heart and two fire emojis.
"I love everything about these pictures," wrote another, followed by the red heart emoji. The fan continued to say: "I grew up watching Wizards of Waverly Place and somehow I always felt that you were the most relatable celebrity. It gave me hope and inspired me to just be myself. And these pictures somehow reminded me of that warm feeling I had back then. Thank you."
"Absolutely gorgeous inside and out," said another fan, followed by the blue heart emoji, we assume to complement the color of her sweater in the first two pictures. "Such a natural beauty," praised another fan, while another said she was the "Most beautiful ever!"
Previous Posts Featuring Selena Gomez Without Makeup
This isn’t the first time (and we doubt it will be the last given how incredible she looks, *and* how well the pictures have gone down on social media) that Selena has shared bare-faced pictures of herself on Instagram. If you cast your minds back to this time last year – January 2022, to be exact – you may remember that the "Lose You To Love Me" hitmaker shared a video of herself showing off a letter she wrote to her Rare Beauty team which was printed on the back of the New York Times' Styles section. She captioned the post, which now has over 3M likes: "It would be an understatement for me to say I’m proud of my @rarebeauty team and what we have accomplished so far. Love you guys!"

And in a 2019 Instagram post that now has an eye-watering 8M likes, Selena can be seen getting wrapped up and looking cozy in a blanket, with not a single drop of makeup on her face! She captioned the October 7th, 2019 post: "Me, all the time." "You mean beautiful? Yeah we know," one fan wrote, while another said she was "Just perfect," followed by the heart eyes emoji. "Would happily love to see more photos like this one," commented another, followed by the purple heart emoji. Looks like that fan got their wish!
