Since abandoning her makeup routine, Spears realized that she truly appreciates the way she looks.

\"It makes you look waaaay younger and so much better,\" the Grammy winner continued, then playfully owning up to the fact that she put on a trace of mascara for the photo op.

Spears' decision to embrace her natural beauty drew praise from Demi Lovato, who has also been treating fans to a series of bare face selfies.

\"Beautiful,\" the 27-year-old gushed in the comments section.
