FANS have praised Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson for looking natural after they previously feared she was growing up too fast.

The Mama June: Road to Redemption star seems to have ditched her signature over-the-top lashes in a new video.

Alana, 16, went barefaced and natural in a video she posted to promote a meet & greet for fans while in California.

The TV personality held the camera selfie-style as she spoke to her followers.

Alana is wearing a striped shirt in the black and white filtered video, and you can make out her nose piercings.

"Hi everyone! So if you want a chance to meet us while we are in Cali, we are having a meet & greet especially for you guys."

One fan took notice of her clean look saying: "I am super proud of you! Keep doing you alana && continue to grow up the bright beautiful ray of sunshine that you are!! Always keep your head up."

Another posted: "You've grown up to be an amazing teenager."

Her fresh-faced post comes after another post showing the Toddlers & Tiaras alum in full glam.

Her look included extremely long fake eyelashes with pink streaks.

That caused worry in fans who believe she has been forced to grow up too quickly due to her mom's drug addiction.

The teenager has added to the concern after announcing her relationship with 21-year-old college student Dralin Carswell.

TOO FAST?

In photos exclusively revealed by The Sun, Alana was seen giving her sister Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Efird, 22, a hand with her newborn twin babies during a recent photoshoot in Georgia. 

The 16-year-old was sporting what appeared to be a diamond ring on her left ring finger, where one would wear an engagement ring. 

A source close to Alana told The Sun, "I wouldn’t be surprised if she's engaged, but I’d be really happy for her. Dralin makes her happy."

However, a separate insider confirmed to The Sun that Dralin gave his girlfriend a "promise ring" and the couple is not yet engaged.

The couple was recently pictured hitting Santa Monica beach while on vacation in LA.

The TV personality was joined by her older boyfriend and sister/de facto mother Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird and her husband, Josh.

The family vacation was completed by Pumpkin's newborn twins Sylus and Stella, along with her other children Ella, four, and Bentley, 11 months.

Alana wore a pair of pink shorts and a white T-shirt and was seen laughing as she held little Bentley.

She played the role of a doting aunt, taking careful care of the newborns.

The teen, who is now being raised by her older sister after she was granted full custody, has seemingly been trying to act beyond her age, and fans are growing concerned.
