Thandie Newton's 'tache-bleaching selfie

If there’s one celeb I can’t fault for delivering beauty inspo, it’s Thandie Newton.
The actress’ complexion is flawless with a capital F. But the thing I love most about this stunning celeb is that she has a seriously nonchalant attitude to beauty (not to mention an excellent sense of humour!).
Case in point: Thandie’s latest Instagram snap, a ‘tache-bleaching selfie reminding her fans that it’s not all glitz and glamour for Hollywood stars. Yes, they still face the same everyday beauty battles as the rest of us – unwanted facial hair included.

The actress accompanied the image of her cream-laden top lip with the hilarious caption: "Dealing with the tash in readiness for the Royal Premiere tonight!”.
She then hit the red carpet for the premiere of The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel , where she looked stunning in Chanel.
But back to Thandie’s ‘before’ shot, which is gorgeous in its own way. With her otherwise unadorned face and hair swept up in a towel, she’s taken the recent wave of spot cream selfies from the likes of Millie Mackintosh and beauty rebel Lorde to new heights.
And while some might say this particular beauty ritual’s best kept private, I can’t get enough of Thandie’s facial-hair-don’t-care attitude!
Do you love Thandie’s ‘tache-bleaching selfie as much as I do? What other celebrities do you look to for beauty inspo?

I won't be posting a selfie when I use my NADS or Nair in a hurry! Good on her for having a sense of fun online

What did people ever do before this ridiculous trend of selfies? Maybe if I was on Instagram I would understand the obsession with them.

It's nice that she's showing her 'imperfect' human side :) I remember the first time I saw her. I was watching Flirting. Nicole Kidman, Noah Taylor and Naomi Watts were in the film too. I was quite taken by her. As much as an 8 year old can be!

Good for her! Just like Kaley Cuoco, I really appreciate someone who takes the mickey out of the preparation process, rather than trying to make it all look glamorous. Sometimes getting ready can be a right pain!

Good for her, but I'm so over the selfies overload. I'm overboard and over bored with selfies.

Ha! Good for her! I hate it when I get my mo waxed and my other half is home... the redness is horrible! I wouldn't do it, but girl power all the way!
