So there IS a real woman under all that make-up! 'Human Barbie' Valeria Lukyanova goes cosmetics-free (almost) in candid selfies

'Human Barbie' Valeria Lukyanova has finally revealed what she looks like under her heavy layers of make-up in a new series of candid selfies.
The 28-year-old Ukrainian model, who prides herself on having similar features and proportions to the Mattel doll, has shared a series of Facebook photos that show her wearing little to no make-up and going without her doll-like contact lenses.
While she may not be completely 'natural' in the photos, they certainly show a staggeringly different woman than the persona she normally portrays.

In one of the photos, Valeria strikes a pose in a bathroom in a printed crop top and tiny denim shorts.
Her platinum blonde hair falls to one side, and while she is perhaps wearing a little bit of make-up, she looks uncharacteristically natural.
Her incredibly slender waist and protruding ribs, however, are a cause for concern.
Indeed, she shocked many when she revealed in February that she had converted to Breatharianism - training herself to forgo solid food and live instead off of air and light.

 Her drastically slimmed down figure is apparent as well in another selfie she posted, this time wearing a hot pink bra and underwear.
In the photo, Valeria is turned to the side, and her stomach appears concave.
Below the image, she posted a link to a work-out video starring Instagram sensation Jennifer Selter, who is known for her pert derriere and passion for fitness.
Valeria recently courted controversy for claiming that interracial couples are the reason behind an increase in cosmetic surgery because they are 'making the human race uglier'.

‘Remember how many beautiful women there were in the 1950s and 1960s, without any surgery?' she said in an interview with GQ.
'And now, thanks to degeneration, we have this. A Russian marries an Armenian, they have a kid, a cute girl, but she has her dad's nose. She goes and files it down a little, and it's all good.'
Her comments sparked a furious outrage among readers, but Valeria looks none the wiser in another selfie she posted in which she wears a black and white sports bra.

The blonde looks pensively downward, with earphones in her ears and minimal make-up on her face.
She strikes a similar pose in another photo posted yesterday, which sees her sitting in a car with a grey sweater on.
With her eyes looking down, it's difficult to see whether she's wearing her Barbie-inspired contacts, but her make-up looks considerably less caked-on than usual.
