Tyra Banks posts makeup-free selfie on Instagram

Tyra Banks is proving she does have some things to hide.

The "America's Next Top Model" host came completely clean with a bare-faced selfie that she posted on Instagram Wednesday morning before getting done up.

"You know how people say #nofilter but you know there's a freakin' filter on their pic?" Banks captioned her nearly unrecognizable au natural headshot showing puffy eyes and an uneven complexion. "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."

Though she had admitted to BlackBook that "I love the confidence that makeup gives me," the supermodel has always been an advocate for self-acceptance.

"Self-love has very little to do with how you feel about your outer self. It's about accepting all of yourself," Banks said.
