Ellie Goulding has excellent freckles

It’s always nice to see snaps of celebrities without make-up, but sometimes they look a bit too Photoshopped for my liking.
That’s not the case with this gorgeous pic of singer Ellie Goulding.
Sharing an up-close selfie with her Insta fans recently, the celeb kept things truly au naturale by showing off a face of fabulous freckles.
Of course, Ellie looks equally stunning when she’s dolled up – but with skin this radiant, there’s really no coverage required.
Sadly, not everyone took well to the make-up free snap, with some posting rather mean comments.
But Ellie hit back, tweeting: “I’ll keep posting makeup-free photos sorry haters.”
She also told them to get the hell off her social media: “And also if you follow me on Instagram just to make weird comments like ‘put some makeup on’ please unfollow because that’s not really my vibe.”
Well said, Ellie – we like your vibe much more!
Admittedly, I had freckle fever wayyy before Ellie posted her selfie.
I don’t have a smattering as generous as the singer’s, but I’ll always cherish the few that dot my nose in summer!
In the words of bh’s Astrid, what’s so pretty about perfect?
Long live beautiful beauty flaws.
Are you the proud owner of freckles? Do you appreciate celebrities sharing make-up free selfies like these?

I have freckles, although they are faded a bit now. Ellie is a gorgeous gal, cannot see her freckles in the first picture.

Fifi Box also looks amazing ala naturale. She's got great freckles and I reckon looks better without makeup.

love it! So nice to see that they have the same 'issues' like some of us 'mortals', "mustache" pigmentation. She is gorgeous for sure . Jess Alba has the same no makeup skin...both fabulous

she's beautiful! I have freckles but I hate them, too dark for my liking. Ellie's freckles are so light and cute

I think this is a good thing for them to do this. I also like that they are proud and happy to be themselves.

I never knew she had freckles. They usually can't be seen under her layers of makeup when she goes on stage, I guess.
