Demi Lovato posts "brave" bare-faced picture

Demi Lovato has urged her female fans to follow her lead and "bravely" post a photo of themselves with no make-up on.

The 20-year-old songstress took to Twitter today to post a picture of herself sans beauty products, and asked her fans to follow suit.

Lovato accompanied the picture with the caption: "Ladies, be brave today..  take off your make-up and stop using those filters!! WE are beautiful!!! (sic)."

She then re-tweeted a number of fans' responses, writing a range of encouraging messages to her young followers including: "Look at how pretty you are!!!

"So many GORGEOUS faces.. Not enough battery left on my phone!!! Haha love you ALL!!! (sic)."

Lovato maintained her supportive words, and later wrote on the social networking site: "To all my Lovatics - if you come across haters, show them love. We don't bully back or retaliate. That's not what we are about!! (sic)."

Lovato has previously battled with her self-image, and suffered with bulimia a couple of years ago.
