While the Drunk In Love hit-maker loves to get dolled up like she did for this photo shoot, on her days off she takes a far more natural approach to her appearance.
Early on Tuesday morning, Beyonce shared a selfie on Instagram in which she was make-up free.
The wife of Jay Z looked positively glowing as she showcased her youthful and dewy complexion.

Her blonde locks were also in their natural curly state, something we rarely see on the former Destiny’s Child star.

Beyoncé told Out magazine that she was ill when she recorded the song XO for her fifth album, which she released in December and surprised everyone.
She revealed: ‘When I recorded XO I was sick with a bad sinus infection. I recorded it in a few minutes just as a demo and decided to keep the vocals.
‘I lived with most of the songs for a year and never rerecorded the demo vocals. I really loved the imperfections, so I kept the original demos.’

Beyoncé added: ‘Discipline, patience, control, truth, risk, and effortlessness were all things I thought about while I was putting this album together.’
The star revealed that she set out to make the ‘most personal, honest, and best album I could make’ and added that she is ‘definitely conscious’ of the different kinds of people who listen to her music.
She explained: ‘I needed to free myself from the pressures and expectations of what I thought I should say or be, and just speak from the heart.’
