SEVENTEEN-year-old singer Lorde has Tweeted out an important message to her young fans today, sharing a couple of before-and-after pictures of herself.

“I find this curious — two photos from today, one edited so my skin is perfect and one real. remember flaws are OK :-) ” the star tweeted, along with two photos of herself on stage. In the first, her complexion appears completely smooth and even, while in the other, a smattering of teenage spots are visible.

It’s unclear who edited the photo and how Lorde found them, but in posting them, the Royals hitmaker sends a clear message: the Photoshopping of supposed ‘flaws’ isn’t just limited to the world of fashion magazine shoots.

Even a snap of an artist performing live on stage, sent out to the world that very same day, can often be edited to smooth out any perceived imperfections.

The Kiwi teen has no qualms about sharing her imperfections with the world — she’s previously posted a selfie getting ready for bed in a hotel room with pimple cream on her makeup-free face:
