Anne Curtis celebrates her birthday by dropping a series of striking photos on social media.

The actress-host turned 39 on Saturday, February 17.

Anne enlisted the help of celebrity photographer BJ Pascual, who did a great job of capturing and highlighting Anne’s natural beauty.

“Birthday ko? Barefaced birthday,” wrote Anne on Instagram to accompany her post.

She went on to thank everyone who sent their greetings to mark the special occasion.

NO MAKEUP PHOTOS

For the photos, Anne ditched any makeup to show her natural look.

A close-up shot of Anne showed prominently her freckles, with her hair unkempt for extra flair.

The other photos saw the Filipino-Australian stunner donning a black leather jacket and high-waist bikini, and still sans makeup.

Anne also had two topless photos where she can be seen only wearing black underwear.

Meanwhile, fellow celebrities couldn’t help but gush after seeing Anne’s new photos.

Actress Chie Filomeno wrote, Happy birthday dyosa.”

MORE GREETINGS FROM SHOWBIZ PEERS

Angelica Panganiban, meanwhile, joked, “Happy birthday kambal! Sana hindi ka mamiss ng mga mahal nating ofw.”

The OFW joke pertains to a past exchange between Anne and fellow It’s Showtime host Vice Ganda about the plight of Filipino expatriates who miss their loved ones during special occasions.

“Lalo na during Christmas, or family celebrations na you’re meant to be together,” Anne told Vice during the show’s segment.

As an example, Vice said, “Birthday mo.”

A confused Anne asked back, “Birthday ko?”

Vice replied to clarify, “Hindi, kunwari, birthday mo.”

The funny conversation recently became a running joke, with Anne gamely riding along to netizens who funnily referenced her birthday as a reason to go back to the country.

No definite date on when Anne’s wax figure will be unveiled to the public has been announced thus far.
