Thank You So Much, Tyra: A True No Makeup Selfie

We've all seen some great-looking stars showing us how brave they are, taking no makeup selfies + posting them on Instagram.

The only thing with that, we would venture that MOST of these au naturale photos are NOT 100% makeup free, plus many have been photoshopped to blur hard edges, or used special lighting to make their naked face selfies super awesome.

We have been waiting for the REAL deal, and model Tyra Banks has stepped up to the beauty plate.

So for that....we say THANK YOU, Tyra!

Here's the 41-year-old, gorgeous model wearing ZERO makeup and with ZERO special photo effects

Wow....We are pretty blown away.

Yup....Tyra, you look  NORMAL, like a real chick with common beauty imperfections----- dark undereye circles, uneven skintone and not the longest eyelashes.

We LOVE you, Tyra. There is so-oooooo much emphasis on women feeling pressured to appear flawless or perfect. And you have shown us that even extremely attractive women get help with proper makeup, hair + fashion.

This is what TYRA wrote on her Instagram:

You know how people say #no filter 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'
