Supermodel Tyra Banks make-up free selfie goes viral


You’ve seen Kenyan musician Avril and TV anchor Janet Mbugua without make up.

Now, we present to you American supermodel Tyra Banks.

The 41-year-old posted an honest, no-make-up photo of herself on Instagram immediately after getting off the bed and it is nothing like her.

The model owns a make-up line and pays tens of people handsomely to ensure she looks the part.

But she wanted to make sure ladies know it is ok to look normal.

Tyra captioned the picture: “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”

Supermodel Tyra Banks gave her fans a rare glimpse of her makeup free self.
