Even the most glamorous of beauty connoisseurs relish a more natural makeup look from time to time, and Selena Gomez is a case in point.

The former Disney star stripped things back in a recent Instagram snap, shared with her 429m followers, in which she appeared to be entirely makeup-free.

Simply captioned "Real", the black-and-white closeup of the star's face allowed her freckles and natural radiance to shine through.

The Only Murders in the Building star, whose brand Rare Beauty is committed to "breaking down unrealistic standards of perfection", was inundated with praise in the comments section.

Fans went wild in the comments section, some even speculating as to whether Selena's stunning snap was a teaser for the artwork of her upcoming album, SG3.

The selfie felt very in keeping with Rare Beauty's self-love-centric ethos. "This is makeup made to feel good in, without hiding what makes you unique—because Rare Beauty is not about being someone else, but being who you are," the brand writes on its website.

Just last week the 31-year-old took a trip down memory lane, reminiscing on the creation of the makeup line.

Giving her fans a behind-the-scenes insight into setting up a trailblazing global beauty brand, Selena shared some snaps from some of her early-stage meetings.

Likely poring over formulas, and deliberating over packaging, Selena was pictured chatting with her team and laying the foundation of now-cult-adored Rare Beauty.
