Kim Kardashian is going au natural—in more ways than one. 

The 34-year-old stunner covers the latest issue of Vogue España, appearing completely makeup-free as she flaunts her flawless complexion. 

Sporting a simple sweater and her massive diamond engagement ring, the pregnant reality star, who is expecting her second child with husband Kanye West, lets her natural beauty take center stage, sans any of the makeup tricks or contouring techniques we know the E! star loves.  

"Vogue Spain Cover! We did this whole shoot without make up! Can't wait for you to see it! @VogueSpain Theo Wenner @Theo12345," the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star captioned the pic on her Instagram page, giving a shout-out to photog Theo Wenner (yes, that's the same photographer whom Miley Cyrus was previousy falsely linked to).

As Kim confirms in the caption, the expectant star was completely bare-faced for the entire shoot—longtime makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic only applied some moisturizer and lip balm in addition to curling Kardashian's lashes. 

"Is the world ready for #KimNoFilter," the accompanying article on the mag's website asks. 

Inside the issue, the soon-to-be mother of two opened up about Caitlyn Jenner, whom she supported in the audience at the 2015 ESPYs, daughter North West and the most difficult part of her pregnancy thus far, which happened to occur at the glamorous 2015 Met Gala. 

"I have told Caitlyn Jenner that as long as she doesn't steal my stylist, makeup artist, or hair stylist, we're OK," the businesswoman confessed, adding that the two joke about the topic.

"It's great to see her happy," the proud daughter said. 

Kanye West's wife also shared details about her current pregnancy as well as her fears about daughter North West growing up in the spotlight. 

"With the first pregnancy I told Kanye that it wouldn't be easy to grow up being our daughter because of what our daughter would have to put up with. I prayed for it. Now I know that she [North] will be able to handle it," she said of her 2-year-old mini-me. 

As for the more challenging parts of her second pregnancy?

"The most difficult thing of this year was going to the Met Gala because I was a little less than two months pregnant and had nausea," she revealed. "I tried to eat very healthy the week before—chicken soup and salad. But my dress was transparent so I tried to suck in my stomach on the red carpet. My husband and I came up with a way that I could only take photos from the front while I was holding my breath and when I turned I would let out my breath and stay very close to Kanye to hide."
