Human Barbie's no make-up selfie

Ukranian model Valeria Lukyanova, aka Human Barbie, uploads a no make-up selfie, and the video diary of the spa treatments that prepped her for it


Barbie, human or otherwise, is rarely seen without her make-up. Valeria Lukyanova, aka Human Barbie, uploading a photo of herself sans coloured lenses, bubble-gum blush, doll lashes and saccharine sweet lip colour was something we didn't expect to see, until now.

Her fans, while enthused by the photo - "so much more beautiful WITHOUT MAKE UP!" they echoed on Lukyanova's Facebook page - might however want to look at the post that followed. A video diary live from the spa - where it seems Human Barbie has spent a lot of time, and money, perfecting and manipulating her 'natural' look.

It's not just her vital stats and eye colour that Lukyanova has altered, it's also her eyebrows and colour, her skin (which she likes to look toned and 'Nordic') and we might add, her lifestyle, as exhibited by this short, but exhausting, film shot on spa location.

Obsessed by what she calls beauty's downgrading and "degeneration" - essentially the mixing of ethnicities and what we call, er racism - what you see when you see Human Barbie is hair and body regeneration gone crazy. Are we really going to let the model that hopes to one day be powered by solar energy, that lives off a 'diet of cosmic micro-food' and believes in time travel be part of the no make-up selfie brigade? The bare-faced cheek of it.
