We're used to seeing Cheryl dolled up to the nines for her X Factor appearances, but this new look has us wondering if she might be better off toning things down.

The singer's make-up artist Karin Darnell shared some images from Cheryl's shoot with the Sunday Telegraph's Stella magazine, which hit news stands yesterday.

Cheryl looks like a totally different woman with simple make-up, a nude lip and slightly messy dark brown hair:

How gorgeous?! Karin captioned the image, "So simple… so striking… @cherylofficial looking so young… so beautiful!!!!"

Another image from the shoot shows Cheryl with a similarly natural look, and we have to say it totally suits her.

The former Girls Aloud star reveals she rarely reads comments online or in the media about herself anymore, admitting she has "absolutely no idea” of how she is portrayed these days.

“I know that they don’t know us… They only know what they’re fed and what they’re given, and half the time, that’s not me," she said.

Speaking about her new single Only Human, Cheryl says it's about "going back to basics, and saying, 'Look, we’re only human, we’re only dust. That’s all we are made from’.”

So could this simple, natural look be a permanent change for Cheryl? We hope so!
