“I Like It” hitmaker Cardi B, 30, wowed her fans after she posted a makeup-free selfie video via her Instagram Story on Apr. 5! The post was a request from the brunette beauty’s husband, Offset, 31, who wanted to see his leading lady without any filters and glam on. “My hubby said take a video like this,” she said, before adding “No makeup, no filter.” In the clip, the proud mom-of-two rocked a grey t-shirt and a cozy geometric print cardigan, as she rested on a pink blanket. “Period!”, her friend chimed in the background of the gorgeous video.

After a fan re-posted the Instagram Story, many of Cardi’s fans flooded the comments with compliments and reactions to the rare look. “Don’t need any of it . Naturally hermosa!”, one fan gushed, while another added, “We all know you beautiful.” A third fan even noted how the Grammy winner has a “unique” look. “Super beautiful you are to me. #Gorgeous. Definitely you are one of a kind. So unique,” they quipped in the comments.

Her natural look notably comes four months after the songstress boasted about removing her butt injections during an Instagram Live. “In August [2022] I did surgery and I removed 95% of my biopolymers… if you don’t know what it is, it’s a** shots. It was a really crazy process,” she said in the video in Dec. 2022. This is not the first time we see Cardi without makeup though, as she’s previously posted bare-faced selfies via social media. Most recently, one of the selfies without glam was on Aug. 13, 2022. “Forehead a**,” she captioned the post.

Five years! Yeah I’m still getting booked for millions of dollars with one mother f****** album b**** yeah whats up?!” Cardi laughed after she boasted about her success and added, “nobody can tell me nothing!”
