Top Irish blogger Rosie Connolly has shared a real make-up free selfie.
The mother is one of Ireland’s leading beauty and fashion bloggers, often snapped looking fabulous with flawless make-up.
However, her latest selfies is encouraging others to embrace their flaws as she reveals to followers her skin blemishes.
“As some of you may know from my Snapchat, I have been suffering really bad with my skin since Christmas and just can’t seem to clear it up,” she wrote with one of her Instagram posts.
“I spend everyday applying makeup and using filters to mask it as much as I can – but it’s about time I just grew a pair of balls and showed my skin, makeup free, flaws and all.
“I am currently under the guidance of the amazing Corinna [at MTolan Beauty] and I’m talking about all things skincare and my current skincare plan over on my snapchat tonight.
“It was not easy to take off my security blanket (makeup) and show you how my skin really looks right now so go easy on me.”
Rosie finished off her post encouraging others to embrace their flaws and to not be ashamed of how they look.
“To anyone else suffering from acne or bad skin, don’t EVER be ashamed of it and don’t ever think that anyone in this world is perfect, especially on social media.
“We all have flaws, that’s what makes us who we are. So #EmbraceYourFlaws and go bare faced with confidence.”
