Ice Spice No Makeup is a viral selfie of rapper Ice Spice in which she is purportedly wearing no makeup. The selfie went viral in October 2023 and again in December 2023 as users on X (Twitter) shared and reacted to it, with some expressing shock or betrayal and others defending Ice Spice. It is unclear where the image came from, but appears to have been taken in 2021 when Ice Spice had pink, straight hair rather than her more well-known red, curly hair in the following years.
