Kim Kardashian is a bare-faced beachside beauty in this brand new photo spread. 

While the new mom of two is focused on her fitness, she just teased the release of her first photo shoot in a bathing suit since her pregnancy with newborn Saint West

In the single preview shot released on her website, the 35-year-old brunette bombshell shows off her Jessica Rabbit curves in a plunging black one piece while carrying a draped black knit sweater hanging from her arms as she struts along the shore.

While bronzed and glowing, the reality star took a far less high-maintenance approach to her beauty look for the upcoming digital issue of Editorialist, sporting carefree wavy hair and very subdued makeup—so limited that we question whether she's wearing any at all. Gone are the strips of fake lashes, glossed and lined lips and chiseled-to-perfection contouring—this mama is au naturel! 

Instead of her physical ensemble, Kardashian intends for fans to take an in-depth look at her entrepreneurial side. 

"I love when I get the chance to talk about the business side of my life, because it plays a HUGE role in what I do every day," she wrote on her website. "For this shoot for the Spring 2016 issue of Editorialist magazine, I wanted the focus to be on my work. This isn't even out yet, but I wanted you guys to be the first ones to see it!"

Kardashian's calendar isn't exactly full of empty space. In addition to continuous shooting for Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the famous sister also has a handful of successful digital pursuits, ones that she created in an effort to control the narrative surrounding her. 

"I definitely see the shift from magazine to digital, and that's exactly what I envision," she added. "I did want my own avenue to tell my story, to show my fashion pics, to offer my beauty tips, my secrets. I was doing so many interviews with so many different magazines, and I would find that it wouldn't be written right or maybe the product was off or I didn't feel it was truly representing me."

With a brand new baby in tow, the mogul has been keeping a relatively low public profile, but her constantly busy schedule is working perfectly for her post-baby diet plans.

"Kim is staying on track with her weight loss progress and taking it day by day. She is very busy with Saint and North [West] in between of taking care of herself and being a wife," a source told E! News. "Running around with the kids definitely helps with shedding some weight, and she has been working out and eating healthy."
