In a candid new Instagram share on June 4, Ashley wrote, “Glam is so fun. Loving your natural self is amazing too.” 

The accompanying photo showed Ashley in her natural state, which is glowing and gorgeous. In the pic, the mother of two can be seen leaning back against a studded headboard, with one hand behind her head.

Her curls tumbled around her makeup-free face, which was as dewy and stunning as ever. Ashley wore a casual T-shirt and a look of total contentment on her face. 

Ashley Darby Celebrates Natural Beauty

Of course, this isn’t the first time the yoga buff has taken to the ’Gram without a swipe of makeup. In one instance, the Potomac mama shared a fresh-faced photo that radiated glowing good vibes. 

In the snap, Ashley appeared sans makeup and showed off her gorgeous freckles. Her naturally curly mane, which was blonde at the time, framed her face with golden spirals. Rays from the sun hit her face, making her natural beauty shine even more. 

But Ashley doesn’t just share angelic, beautifully lit snaps of herself. She also keeps it real. The former beauty queen has even had candid discussions about her “long chin hairs” with her 675,000 followers. 

“I’ve always had a little ’stache,” she confessed at the time. “But no! This is long hair, on my chin and on my lip!”

Whether she’s wearing a full set of lashes or no makeup at all, Ashley always looks radiant. And the photo below is our latest proof.

Ashley Darby Does Barbie Glam

This is not to say that Ashley is opposed to playing with makeup! As she wrote in her recent caption, “Glam is so fun.” And indeed, she’s had plenty of fun with shadows, lashes, and generous dustings of glitter in the past. 

Last summer, Dean and Dylan’s mama took to social media to show off a stunning makeup look. Her glam included glittering gold eyeshadow and a shimmering pink lip. Her hair was styled into a high half-up ponytail that had voluminous waves and face-framing pieces.

“Turning me into a Darby Barbie slowly but surely,” Ashley captioned her photo.
