Wow, NASA! Way to step up to the plate and challenge the unrealistic beauty standards planets feel they must conform to. Check out these refreshing #nomakeup pictures Nasa just released of Mars. And remember – REAL planets look like this, not like the airbrushed models you see in Cosmos magazine!
I know if I had a breakout the size of Olympus Mons on the day of my photoshoot, I’d at least throw some concealer on. But Mars? Too brave for that. You rock that 22km shield volcano, gurrrl! 
Check out that natural blush! Red planet alert!

As if we weren’t jealous enough already of Mars’ absolutely glowing terrain, the polar icecaps look just as good- if not better!- when they’re “eau natural” 😉 
Fun fact: Mars was named after the Roman god of RAWR! 
Nobody better tell this #nomakeup queen “You look tired,” because that’s super rude and also does not make sense to say to a planet who cannot feel exhaustion. 
Gorgeous! We can only hope to look this good when we’re 4.6 billion years old. 
She woke up like this! No foundation, that’s just pure iron oxide and tholeiitic basalt.
Thank you NASA for treating us to these gorgeous bare-faced snaps of our favourite celestial beach body!!
Sometimes it’s important to be reminded that the planets in our solar system really are just like us, except for being enormous, unfeeling astronomical bodies large enough to form themselves into spheroids through their own gravity.
