Emily Simpson's Makeup-Free Selfie Shows Off All of Her Adorable Freckles

Though we here at The Lookbook are obviously big fans of over-the-top glamour and stunning makeup looks, we simply can't get enough of when our beloved Bravolebs go without makeup. There is something so refreshing, relatable, and, to be honest, brave about baring it all for the world to see minus the frills of a completely made-up face. Leaning into your natural beauty is always in style and no one knows that better than The Real Housewives of Orange County's Emily Simpson. The California mom has served us many pared down looks, including a clean-faced selfie while wearing a hair towel (talk about brave!). And though we love Emily's sexy glam moments, we can't help but swoon when she confidently shows off her freckles without being dolled up. 

On August 28, Emily gifted us with a casual beach selfie with her fabulously freckled face on full display. In the beachside pic, Emily's hair is effortlessly pulled up into a voluminous high pony with her chestnut hair (featuring sunny blonde highlights, no less) full of natural waves. First of all... Emily is gorgeous. That just needs to be said. Between her sweet freckles and bold brow, our girl is simply stunning. Then, as if this shot could get any more adorable, Emily is sporting a black, halter-neck swimsuit with contrasting white details that totally embraces her legendary curves. Perhaps this is the "Ohio Emily" that Gina was going on about because Emily captioned the photo,"Just an #Ohio girl living in a #orangecounty world" and we couldn't love her more.
