Tyra Banks literally woke up like this. (***Flawless)

The supermodel went on Instagram Wednesday to share a no-makeup selfie in hopes of showing the world the real her. While she admits to being tempted to touch-up parts of the picture, she writes that she eventually decided to bare it all to prove beauty needs #nofilter.

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 A photo posted by Tyra Banks (@tyrabanks) on Jun 17, 2015 at 7:28am PDT

Banks preempted the haters in the caption by saying even if you think she looks "rough," it's still fine to her, as long as you see her inner confidence.

And it seems people are loving the real Tyra. The picture has amassed more than 118,000 likes in just one day.

Banks joins several other celebrities of late who are posting unedited images of themselves, exposing cellulite, stretch marks and flaws, in hopes fans can see how unattainable and fake the Hollywood image can be.
