Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Years after the makeup-free movement seems to have left Hollywood, Ciara just might single-handedly bring it back.

The performer on Monday uploaded a fresh-faced selfie to her Instagram account sans any extra hair or makeup added.

“No makeup. No extensions. Vulnerable. My Beauty Marks and all. The real me.. and I love it. Finally embracing myself fully! It feels good,” the singer captioned the April 22 post.

Ciara then encouraged her fans to share their natural beauty on her website in connection to the release of her upcoming seventh studio album “Beauty Marks,” which is due May 10.

“Csquad! Join me in my #BeautyMarks journey and upload your rawest selfies at onlyciara.com/beautymarks. Don’t be afraid to let YOUR Beauty Marks show!” Ciara said.

The collective all-natural fan selfies will be used for “a special project” surrounding the release of “Beauty Marks,” according to the singer’s official website.

While fans plan on joining the movement, they spent most of their time raving about CiCi’s flawless looks.

“Beauty is her name.”

“No makeup = still gorgeous ……inside and out.”

“To be extremely honest Ciara, I don’t see any flaws with your skin or hair. You do possess a natural beauty and features that God blessed you with. I do support your movement and had always believed that women are beautiful just the way they are. I met my wife after my last your in Iraq 2011. Please review my page and continue your efforts in helping those understand that they are ‘perfectly imperfect’.”

“Truly gorgeous.”

“Your not vulnerable – you look fresh and younger looking embrace this look with pride🖤🖤🖤🔥”

Even Ciara’s husband Russell Wilson couldn’t help but comment.

“So beautiful. #Beauty Marks,” wrote the Seattle Seahawks quarterback.

This is not the first time Ciara has exposed her natural beauty. Back in 2016, the star embraced the random moments of being a mom by uploading an early morning selfie as she played with her oldest child Future. The singer sported no makeup, messy hair and all.

“Waking Up Like This Is Ideal! 😜❤️” she captioned the post.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
