Tyra Banks

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

Tyra Banks did something awesome on Instagram. She did what a lot of female celebrities do and posted a “makeup free” selfie. Most of the time, these celebs are completely full of it. They’re either still wearing minimal makeup, or they tweak the lighting of the photo. Even worse, they apply generous filters to make themselves look glamorous while still “barefaced.” It drives me nuts when this happens.

In true model fashion, Tyra fully pulled her claim off. You can tell she didn’t apply concealer to hide undereye circles. No nude lip balm, and no ridiculous duck face under soft lighthing. In the caption, Tyra called out the fake #nofilter crowd and said, “I wanted to smooth out my dark circles so badly!!! But I was like, ‘Naw, Ty. Show ‘em the REAL you.’” I usually think Tyra is over the top, but this was really awesome of her to do. These #nofilter photos are usually designed to gather up compliments, but I don’t think Tyra cares.

Not that Tyra isn’t promoting anything. She and Chrissy Teigen will soon premiere their new daytime talkshow, The F.A.B. Life. Some media outlets already tried to start feud rumors, but Chrissy and Tyra shut it down on Twitter.

.@tyrabanks I am just excited I’m cool enough to be in on-set feuds now! We need to write passive aggressive raps about each other now
