Beyonce recently took to Instagram to share two selfies of her absolutely flawless and make-up free face.

In both the images, the Halo hit maker appears to have just woken up, the New York Post reported.

The two pictures highlight the 32-year-old singer's glowing skin and curly hair.

While on Beyonce, the popstar is now part of the Rutgers University course material.

The students at prestigious university's New Brunswick campus will be able to attend 'Politicizing Beyonce', which is led by doctoral student and lecturer Kevin Allred in the Department of Women's and Gender Studies, the New York Post reported.

According to Allred, the class isn't specifically about the Single Ladies hitmaker's career or political engagement, but instead it focuses on gender, sexuality and racial politics through the lens of Beyonce's standing in American pop culture.

The class will analyse Beyonce's videos and lyrics, in addition to readings from black feminists.

Rutgers University also has a class on the theology of Bruce Springsteen's lyrics.

The mum-of-four told the Mirror that the supermodel's party was a lot of fun and all the guests played tennis and did healthy stuff like swimming, playing table tennis and going for walks.

The 48-year-old actress claimed that the birthday celebrations were more like a recreational holiday, and she came back feeling refreshed. Frost added that people painted a picture about the things going on at the celebrations and they are wrong.

Paltrow added that this kind of treatment has been used since Egyptian times to promote healing, but she loves using Ila Bath Salts at the end of the day as a more relaxing treat.
