No-Make-Up-Selfie

When you are absolutely into the selfie craze then you must be aware of the style that’s trending all over, just like the ‘no makeup selfie’. Initiated by the celebs, the no makeup pictures are the latest social media craze, especially in Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. And this trend has even raised whopping sum of money for Cancer Research!

As celebs started flaunting their bare faces across social media channels, it immediately became a trend, with everyone clicking their pictures sans makeup.

Perhaps, the phrase, ‘less is more’ best suits here and with no makeup photo fashion, they have taken this theory one step ahead in terms of beauty. Even this is one of the first in the latest social media trends that has stood for a noble cause – cancer cause. With celebs urging everyone to go makeup free on their pages, their retweets are alternatively contributing hugely to Cancer Research.

The ‘no makeup selfie’ is perhaps the first selfie to raise millions for charity.

Since beauty is all about going natural and the raw faces of the celebs have become a lovely reminder to all the beauty freak folks that there is nothing truly called ‘flawless’ after all!
