Posted byBy Jasmine Alyce | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Cynthia Bailey of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” let her natural beauty shine through in a backyard selfie and fans loved seeing what lies beneath her routinely beat face.

The 53-year-old reality TV star shared a picture of her makeup-free, sun-kissed face on Instagram on Tuesday, April 28, and fans were here for the pared-down makeup look. Everything from the angle to the hair and even her cleavage drew praise from her followers, but above all else, it was the lack of lashes and contour that everyone seemed to love.

Fans took to her comments to let her know how gorgeous her fresh face looked in the post:

“No makeup ever needed!” one follower complimented.

“Beautiful and natural!” another remarked. “We need to see more pictures like this.”

“Beautifullllllll WITHOUT all the makeup just saying,” a third encouragingly added.

A fourth fan gushed, “Natural Beauty 😍😍😍.”

“When you don’t need lashes and makeup!!❤️,” said a fifth.

“❤️So nice to see the face behind the makeup mask! Refreshing!,” celebrated a sixth fan.

Bailey has been serving us youthful realness while following stay-at-home orders because of the COVID-19 outbreak. She previously told Bravo that her secret for beautiful skin is none other than Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes. “I can’t live without my makeup wipes,” she revealed through the website. “A lot of times when I come home, I don’t feel like doing a whole facial cleansing routine. So I sit on my couch, pull out my wipes … and I wipe my face.” 

Bailey is sheltering in place in Los Angeles with her fiancĂŠ Mike Hill, daughter Noelle Robinson and Hill’s daughters Ashlee and Kayla. The blended family have been passing their time making TikTok videos. One video showed a confused Bailey and Hill working out that fans couldn’t help but laugh over.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
