It's safe to say that snaps of Nicki Minaj — aka Onika Tanya Maraj — without makeup are pretty rare, but this stunning star has proven she's not afraid to show off her bare face from time to time. And who could blame her? Minaj is stunning both with and without a full face of makeup, and has appeared on social media just a few times without her signature glam.

A photo of the "Anaconda" hitmaker without makeup went viral on Twitter (receiving more than 6,000 likes in around three days) in December after she served a duck face selfie as her skin glowed. The gorgeous star proved she's most definitely a natural beauty, rocking a bandana over straight lilac locks.

But while there's no doubting any makeup artist in the world would jump at the chance to do Minaj's makeup when she dresses up, she revealed in May that even has someone on hand to do it all for her, there are still parts she likes to do herself — namely her eyeliner. She showed off her skills in a video shared to Instagram by Dionte Gray (which has since been deleted), telling fans, "When you do your own makeup and you think you cute so you just be shooting selfie videos because you ain't got nothing to do" (via Allure). She then joked about becoming a makeup artist herself, adding, "I actually always do my own eyeliner."
