Kim Kardashian posts makeup-free selfie.

She’s known for her selfie snaps and racy photoshoots. But the latest pics Kim Kardashian West posted on social media are about as similar as Katy Perry’s hairstyles.

Compare, contrast.

Photo #1: “Porn”

This is the Kimmie K we all know and love (or love to hate).

The reality TV star posted a Throwback Thursday photo of her 2010 risqué photo shoot with W magazine, where the pregnant celeb’s naked body was slathered in silver paint.

“#TBT shooting my @wmag cover,” the photo’s caption said.

But there was a time when the magazine pics caused Kim more pain than pleasure.

The 34-year-old was apparently upset over the photo shoot in a 2011 episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York.

“I’m so f**king mad right now,” she said, according to news.com.au.

“[They] promised me I would be covered in artwork on top of me. It was so uncomfortable. I’m really honestly freaking out.”

“It really pisses me off, this is serious porn. They weren’t going to show my ass crack or my nipples. This is full f**king porn.”

Kim then apparently said she was never going to get naked again – and we all know exactly how that turned out.

Photo #2: Au naturel

Kim’s latest – and most uncharacteristic – photo was a stunning makeup-free photo shoot for a Vogue Spain cover feature.

There is no contouring. I repeat, there is no contouring. And her famous nude lips are... well, actually nude. For real.

Mrs Kardashian-West yesterday shared on social media a glimpse of the magazine cover, taken by photographer Theo Wenner, showing the star looking healthy and glowing sans makeup, her diamond sparkler up front and centre.

“Vogue Spain Cover! We did this whole shoot without make up! Can't wait for you to see it! @VogueSpain Theo Wenner @Theo123456 #KimNoFilter,” the selfie queen wrote.
