'A natural beauty': Carrie Underwood 'glows' in makeup-free selfie

Carrie Underwood is showing off her natural beauty.

The 38-year-old singer took to Instagram on Monday to share a makeup-free gym selfie with her more than 10.5 million followers.

"Getting this week started right with @fit52! #MondayMotivation," Underwood captioned the fresh-faced photo, in which she's wearing a tank top from her own fitness apparel line, CALIA by Carrie Underwood.

The "Before He Cheats" singer's post was quickly met with praise from fans for "keeping it real" and inspiring them to get moving.

"I love what a natural beauty you are!" one Instagram user commented. "No need for makeup. Such a great role model. More young women should look up to you for keeping it real instead of these over-edited Instagram models."

"A natural beauty!" another echoed. "You don't even need makeup!"

"This was just the motivation I needed! If only I looked this pretty without makeup," someone else wrote.

"You are literally glowing without makeup," a fan said. "When I go without it, I look sickly. Thank you for being real though! Your fans appreciate you, queen! "

Back in March, Underwood opened up about her workout regime in an interview with CMT Radio, revealing that exercise is therapeutic for her.

“If I don’t work out for a few days, I’m like, OK, I’m getting sad, I’m getting moody,” she explained. “My husband will be like, ‘You need to go work out.’”

She admitted, however, that as much as she loves working out, there's one exercise that she dreads.

“I hate burpees, I hate burpees so much,” she said. “My trainer Eve Overland, she loves burpees, and she will do the most insane variations of burpees, and I am just like, ‘No.’”
