I woke up like this … I woke up like this … flawless!


Mother, DJ, and creative consultant Solange Knowles shows us what her mama gave her, in a fresh-faced snap via social media. The singer posted a makeup-free image to Instagram on July 20, showcasing her glowing and, like big sis Beyoncé might say, flawless skin.


“Last Friday I was awaken[ed] with this rainbow on my face, God’s way of forewarning me the magic I was to experience in the upcoming days. I heard and used this word magic, endlessly this past weekend when there was truly no other way to express the supernatural goodness that was fostered during those days. The magic of music. From seeing two artist[s] (Missy and @tweet_ ) who I’ve connected with so deeply with on so many levels celebrated and united in a space filled with so much love, to experiencing the musical meditation from Moses Sumney that truly healed , and then the expression of pure Soul from Bilal improving with the @preshallband … every day @SAINTHERON truly manifested magic! A highlight was closing the weekend off with so many faces lit with joy, dancing to in the pouring rain appropriately to Carl Thomas’ “summer rain”, in the pouring not a care in the world. I couldn’t be more grateful to see the beautiful #SaintHeron community that’s come along for the journey, celebrating life in all our glory, honoring and celebrating our heroes, while all being heroes ourself,” she wrote..

It’s safe to say Knowles felt a little inspired by the brightly colored rainbow on her face and we have to admit we love it.


Believe it or not, Knowles is just one of many celebs to flaunt their natural beauty via social media, despite backlash from critics who believe celebs should look like stars at all times. Heidi Klum, Lorde, Cara Delevingne, Demi Lovato, Kylie Jenner, Sofia Vergara, Kelly Osbourne and Tyra Banks have all flashed a fresh face for the ‘Gram.
