Anyone who’s got freckles will no doubt have had a love/hate relationship with them – just like Ricki-Lee Coulter.
The Australian singer/songwriter decided to go make-up free for a selfie this week and posted the flawless snapshot to celebrate – and show off – her freckles with the whole world. And we think you’ll agree that it’s her freckles that make her so alluring.

Acknowledging that she hasn’t always been a fan of her freckles, she explained in the image’s caption that she now loves them.
“When I was a little girl I hated my freckles but one day my Pop told me they were just a whole lot of beauty spots & that girls with freckles are special. Now I love them!” she wrote on Instagram.
Coulter uploaded the same pic to Facebook where, in addition to a huge amount of love and support from her fans, she found herself flooded with hateful comments about her make-up free looks – and her frequent desire to cover her freckles up.

“That explains perfectly why this is the first time I have ever seen them. Are you sure you aren’t just jumping on the bandwagon of ‘I’m super inspirational and love my body just the way it is’ and then only super mega rarely show peeps how you actually look? [sic]” wrote one Facebook user.
But instead of quietly letting the abusive comments continue, Coulter responded to almost every comment in a calm and dignified manner before posting her own response to all of those who chose to be negative.
“It makes me so sad that there are people out there that are so miserable in their own lives that they will turn a candid moment and a beautiful memory into something negative and nasty,” she wrote. “Please - do me and everyone else here a favour and unlike my page, then go and get yourself a life.”

The singer’s photo inspired many of her fans to share their freckled face photos, with some fans describing them as “angel’s kisses” and others remarking how beautiful they are. And despite all of the horrible remarks, it seems like most of her fans love freckles almost as much as they love her.
