Flip Or Flop vet Christina Hall, 40, makes RARE move of posing makeup-free as she says some 'mascara and lip balm would have gone a long way'

Christina Hall loves to wear pretty makeup.

So it stunned her followers when she posted a makeup free photo to Instagram on Thursday morning.

The 40-year-old HGTV star – whose ex Ant Anstead dates Renee Zellweger – was seen with not a spot of makeup on as she posed in her car.

The Flip Or Flop vet was still a beauty with her clear skin and blonde hair cascading down her shoulders.

Ever have those days out and about running errands and catch a glimpse of yourself like [embarrassed and shock emojis]… maybe a bit of mascara and lip balm would go a long way here.’

Hall then added a curious face emoji.

In July she shared her excitement about her 40th birthday and said she’s ‘actually excited’ for the milestone marker.

However, the home improvement expert received criticism from an Instagram user who said she was self-centered and it was ‘all about her’ before her husband Josh Hall came to her defense in response to the ‘insulting’ comment.

The Christina On The Coast reality star told People: ‘I’m approaching 40 in a few months and I feel like what I’ve heard is – in your forties – you’re the most confident and comfortable in your own skin.

‘I don’t feel like I’m 40,’ she added.

‘Not at all. I feel like I’m 32. I don’t know what happened.’

However, she said that she’s ‘actually excited’ to turn 40 and plans to celebrate with a ‘real big fun trip’ – on her birthday.

Another exciting plan coming up for the real estate investor is the debut of her spin-off reality show.

Christina In The Country premiered on HGTV earlier this year.

Hall took her California-based home renovation reality show – Christina On The Coast – to Tennessee.

She also revealed that she has other upcoming projects she plans to focus on in her 40s.

‘I really want to start my own home line – like a Christina collection-type thing,’ the reality star said.

‘So that’s something we’re working on right now, getting that into a big box store,’ the mother-of-three continued. ‘Hopefully that comes into fruition next year.’

She hinted at potential future projects on the horizon: ‘And then also an online seminar course in manifesting, creating wealth in your dream life.

‘I think that would be pretty cool,’ the former partner and Flip Or Flop co-star of Tarek El Moussa said.

On the topic of why Tennessee, she said, ‘Up until now, Tennessee has always been a quick getaway, but with every trip I’m just loving it more and more. I’m always looking for more reasons to spend time here.’
