\"You and your skin are beautiful with or without a stitch of makeup sis,\" journalist Elaine Welteroth wrote in a comment.

While we don't always see makeup-free selfies of Shahidi, she's no stranger to posting great angles of herself.

At the beginning of November, she posted a fun video of herself with rainbow-like eyeshadow.
