Ariana Grande is quickly rising up in the celebrity world as a multi-hyphenate. It's hard to remember that before she was a mega-popstar with six studio albums and coach on The Voice, she was a child star on Broadway, then made a transition to acting on television as Cat In Nickelodeon's Victorious. Most recently, she became the beauty brand founder of r.e.m.beauty, which launched on November 12 of last year. While it's clear that Grande wants to instill inspiration in the makeup world through her brand, it's obvious (pun intended) that she also promotes a bare face every now and then. 

Ari wore some very convincing no-makeup-makeup (or, by some miracle, went makeup-free) on Instagram on Valentine's Day, showing us all of her beauty and grace. The post appeared to be a photo of a photo, first taken on the screen of a computer. The image a bit pixelated, but we're still able to fawn over her gorgeous characteristics.

Head tilted to her right, the singer is looking just below the camera with her brown eyes and soft smile as the main features. Her dark brown hair is pulled back in a sleek ponytail while her arms jut out of frame, maybe placed on her hips. She is earring-less and wearing a black shirt with a cutout on the upper chest to give a tube top effect but with sleeves looking like they connect in the back.

The Victorious alum didn't caption the photo, but she tagged r.e.m.beauty. The comments section, meanwhile, is filled with heart and smiley face emojis, the top one being her mother, Joan Grande, who wrote, "My beautiful daughter…. Inside and out!!!"

It seems like any time Ari is out in public, she's heavily made up with her perfect hairstyles (see: signature high pony) and perfect makeup (also: staple cat-eye eyeliner), so it's refreshing to see Ari step away and show off another kind of look. But one thing's for sure — makeup or not, she is stunning inside and out.
