Keke Palmer says 'makeup isn't real': 'I'm beautiful in real life, because of who I am, not what I look like'
Keke Palmer, 29, had time to call out the haters today.
The Nope star, who revealed her pregnancy on Saturday while hosting Saturday Night Live, took to Twitter to clap back at online critiques of her makeup-free appearance.
"I just saw a few comments of ppl saying I was ugly cause I wasn't wearing any makeup," Palmer tweeted, possibly referring to any number of bare-faced, humorous posts she has shared on social media.
I just saw a few comments of ppl saying I was ugly cause I wasn’t wearing any makeup. And I really want y’all to get the help y’all need because makeup isn’t real. I’m beautiful in real life, because of who I am, not what I look like.

Palmer went on to explain that her beauty is beyond skin deep, and no amount of makeup could ever change that.
"And I really want y'all to get the help y'all need because makeup isn't real. I'm beautiful in real life, because of who I am, not what I look like," she wrote.
She added another tweet explaining that her self-confidence has reached such great heights that she wishes she could give it out to other people.
"I wish I could bottle how I feel about myself and sell it. Because some people take comments to heart and these ppl just say anything. I mean truly it's insane to say anyone is ugly, but especially me," she wrote.

While it is unclear exactly who was leaving the hate comments under Palmer's posts, her supporters were loud and proud in the replies.
"Right? Gorgeous all your life! It's just an effort to make u feel down on yourself — the way the trolls do. Ppl who are Happy, successful financially, physically, spiritually and mentally don't say those things. No one can destroy your spirit especially jealous, strangers!" shared one user.
"Get them Keke! you are literally one of the most beautiful women out there and you're even more radiant now that you're pregnant," shared another.
Actress Niecy Nash also popped in with a few words of encouragement for Palmer.
