Carrie Underwood's Makeup-Free Selfie Will Make You Proud of Your Post-Workout Glow

If you've ever been embarrassed by your beet-red face after exercising, don't be. You're not alone. In fact, superstar Carrie Underwood deals with the same post-workout flush and she proudly documented it in a makeup-free selfie on Instagram.

"I'm a sweaty mess," she admitted, "but I'm a sweaty mess in an adorable tank!" She then tagged her activewear line, Calia by Carrie Underwood, the brand behind that cute top.

Many of her fans commented on not just how beautiful she looked without a drop of foundation, but how she's inspiring them to stick to their fitness goals. "You're such a great influence Carrie! Thanks for being my personal and fitness inspiration for so many years!" added Instagram user @countryconfessions.
