Woah! So that's what Lady Gaga looks like without mountains of make-up, glitter, meat, cosmic dust and fake blood. Who knew?!

Earlier this week we saw nude photos of the "The Born This Way" singer spreading 'em for V magazine, and now the singer, who is gearing up to release the first single off her ARTPOP album, is getting photographed doing the most daring thing of all -- going makeup free! Is it just us or does the songstress kind of look like Marilyn Manson?

Gaga posted the selfie on her fansite Littlemonsters.com, along with the following caption,"ARTPOP as they pry the single from my bleeding fingers. it’s a scary thing to revisit those things underneath, the pain in your past. but all I found was raw passion. I thought I was destroyed inside. I’m just ready to fight. start the music." While the avant-garde singer may have forgotten how to put on her makeup and eyebrows, she certainly hasn't lost her flair for the dramatic.

Gaga announced earlier this month that ARTPOP’s debut track will be released on August 19 and the full album will be in stores and available for download November 11. Get ready all you little monsters!
