SLAY! The reason behind Laverne’s make-up free selfie is totally perfect

If you're a fan of Orange Is The New Black, then you'll be used to seeing Laverne Cox on the silver screen with little or no make-up on.

Either way, she's beautiful and fierce, but her reason behind going make-up free for this selfie is speaking to ALL of us.

 

The other day after I took out my braids before we put them back in. I keep it natural underneath. #NaturalHair #NoFilter #NoMakeup #JustMe. I love fake hair. It's one of the great joys of my life. As an actress and a woman I love being able to transform, to switch up my look when I want to with wigs, weaves and bundles a plenty. I love this too. It's about choices and options.

The bare-faced beauty shared a photo on Instagram and captioned the snap: "The other day after I took out my braids before we put them back in.

For everyone who thinks I had a nose job, the surgeon is snapchat. The first photo has #nofilter. The second has the #snapchat beauty filter. I try to love, embrace and accept myself everyday, filter or no filter, make up or no makeup, weave or no weave. Filters are fun but they are no substitute for me waking up, looking in the mirror and seeing the unfiltered me as beautiful and worthy of acceptance and love. #TransIsBeautiful

YES.

Wearing make-up and changing our hair isn't all about looking good – it's about feeling good. It's about having the option to be a girly-girl one day and a rocker the next; not about who looks best or who is wearing the latest style.

If it makes you feel fab, go for it girl. It's your choice.
