Cardi B Showed Off Her Real Skin Texture In A Candid Video To Her Millions Of Followers

Celebrities without make-up - it might feel like a bit of a slap in the face that they're rich, famous, perpetually on holiday and, to top it off, look amazing without mascara on. But, there's no denying that we're always intrigued by seeing the A-list totally barefaced without a scrap of make-up on. In fact, it's almost relatable.

From J-Lo's time-defying flawless complexion, to Gwyneth Paltrow's make-up free mother daughter selfies and Gabrielle Union's skincare tips for Zoom chats minus the make-up, these are the celebrities without make-up inspiring us to embrace our face and bare all.

Cardi B took to Instagram to show her 82.4 million followers what she looks like without any make-up at all. In a truly authentic move, the singer posted a video of herself with filter-free bare skin having just woken up, and told her followers that she feels confident like this, 'You can see all the blemishes on my face... you can see my lips so chapped from biting them all night...I just woke up 20 minutes ago, didn't even brush my hair, like, I feel good.'
