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.

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.
