Let's not beat around the bush, the current situation we find ourselves in, is far from ideal. But there are some minor perks to being in lockdown, such as giving our skin a makeup-free holiday.
Although, if you're being more diligent with your skincare than ever before and still breaking out at a rate of knots, you're not alone - read this.
The weirdest thing about this current situation is that everyone, including celebrities, has to stay home, and that means for the first time ever, all our lives are kind of similar.
Admittedly our lockdown surrounds differ wildly (we don't even have a garden let alone an outdoor tennis court), but we are all learning TikTok dances and rotating the same hoodie all week long.
Selena Gomez has never been afraid to post a makeup-free selfie (something we love her for), but she has been taking it up a notch during lockdown.
In case you missed it and don't read the Cosmopolitan UK beauty section avidly (judging you), Selena has started her own beauty brand, which is due to launch in Sephora this summer.
Everyone's clicking on...
Whilst Rare Beauty has no UK Stockist as of yet (a criminal act if you ask us), we have been stalking their new Instagram account on a daily basis.
The reward for our stalking? A makeup-free Selena, posting mirror selfies with daily affirmations.
Cute.
First she posted this one with the message we all need to hear right now: "I am enough".
She then followed it up with this one, encouraging us all to take a social media break from time-to-time.
Let's be honest, with makeup Selena looks way younger than her 27 years, but without it, we look like we could have given birth to her.
Wonder if we could find those genetics on Depop?
