    The blonde beauty has appeared on the cover of US Marie Claire without a scrap of make-up on

    How refreshing? Check out this amazing shot of a completely make-up free Jessica Simpson on the front of the latest US edition of Marie Claire.

    While some of us may not even be brave enough to step outside the house without the slightest hint of foundation or a quick slick of mascara, Jessica Simpson has dared to bare all to millions.

    Jessica's appearance on the cover of our Stateside sister - alongside the tag line 'No makeup, No retouching, No regrets' - comes after the broadcast of her one-off TV show The Price of Beauty - a documentary about society's obsession with image.

    But despite being comfortable enough in her skin to appear sans make-up and minus airbrushing on a magazine cover, the star admits that there is 'always something' about her appearance that she wants ‘to fix.'

    'There's always somebody who looks better,' she told OK! Magazine in a recent interview. 'That's what we compare ourselves to.'

    So what would she change about herself?

    'I just wish I was taller, so all those dresses would fit!' says the 5ft 3in star.

    'I like the bump in my nose. It's an imperfection, but to me it's perfection.'

    The documentary sees Jessica travel to India to experience the perception of beauty in different cultures, and witness the lengths that some women will go to in order to achieve perfection.

    'The journey really was finding what was beautiful inside of me and knowing that it's unique and rare,' she says.

    'It was a very powerful journey. It has definitely changed my life.'
