Tyra Banks goes makeup free, social media applauds

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Tyra Banks is showing the world the real her. No filter.

On Wednesday, the TV personality and former model took to Instagram and shared a photo of herself without makeup on.

She wrote about her frustration with photos that include the hashtag #NoFilter, which typically indicates that a picture hasn’t been altered or retouched in any way.

“This morn, I decided to give you a taste of the really real me,” Banks wrote to her followers.

Her post, which appears below, was liked more than 115,000 times by Thursday morning. The nearly 8,000 comments below the photo show people’s support for Banks showing her real self, sans any makeup.

What do you think about this? Would you feel comfortable sharing a picture of yourself with others?

You know how people say #nofilter but you know there’s a freakin’ filter on their pic? Or maybe there’s a smidge of retouching going on but they’re lying and saying it’s all raw & real? 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.” So…here I am. Raw. And there YOU are…looking at me, studying this picture. Maybe you’re thinking, “Whoa, she looks ROUGH.” And if you are, great! You deserve to see the REAL me. The REALLY real me. #RawAndReal
