Back in April 2020, Bunnie XO gave her Instagram fans and followers a rare look at her highly-requested no-makeup face. 

Make-up has been an indispensable part of Bunnie’s identity. She even confessed that it got to the point that she didn’t let her now-husband, Jelly Roll, see her without it during their entire first year together.

But as time passed by, she grew to realize that she didn’t need to conform to beauty standards. The most important part was that she was comfortable in her own skin. And during the pandemic, she gifted fans with a no-makeup Instagram post. In the photo, she was wearing a space bun and a sexy blue bikini while she was out on the patio, basking in the sun. She wrote in the caption that she had not worn makeup or done her hair in two weeks at that time. 

And we gotta say: Bunnie XO without make-up on is just as freakin’ gorgeous. Everyone in the comments section also agreed. In fact, it was a flood of compliments — @xxcherrysmithxx: “HOW DO YOU LOOK BETTER WITHOUT MAKEUP FFS 😭😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥I’ll be in my corner crying, still ugly 😂😂;” @momz_og: “F*cking gorgeous…natural beauty is the best beauty!!!💯;” and her then make-up artist, Hailee Clark, also chimed in: “Bunnie has really good skin.”

While Bunnie XO with no makeup is top-tier, the Dumb Blonde podcast host has been open about doing cosmetic procedures on her face, which she has documented on her YouTube vlogs. She had eyebrow microblading done, as well as some cheek fillers. 

But as she said before, if there were anything she could embed in anyone’s soul, it would be to be 100% authentic and true to themselves. “Love yourself everyday & f*ck anyone else’s expectations of what you are supposed to look like. 💋” And that was what she did.
