Natalie Barr put on a brave face in Sydney on Thursday when she was spotted running errands following her shock skin cancer diagnosis this week.
The Sunrise star, 56, was seen getting out of her $108,000 white Audi Q7 after covering up the malignant spot on her nose with makeup.
She stepped out of her vehicle looking half her age as she donned chic business attire with a blue pin-striped button-up and loose-fit black slacks.
Opting for comfortable black footwear, the glamorous breakfast show host hid her eyes behind a pair of squared sunglasses which matched the handbag on her arm.
Her flawless makeup look featured a nude lip and a few coats of blush, enhanced by simple pearl earrings and her lightly curled brunette locks.
Natalie appeared to be at ease despite the skin cancer diagnosis she received this week when her doctor inspected a concerning spot on her nose.
The Sunrise co-host told viewers on Tuesday morning the discovery occurred when she visited her dermatologist after discovering a tiny persistent ‘pimple’ on her nose.
Natalie’s doctor used state-of-the-art AI and ‘Spectra-Scope’ devices to inspect the blemish and found a cancerous lesion.

‘I had a pimple on my nose that wouldn’t go away, plus I reckon it had been a couple of years since I had a skin check, so I went to the dermatologist,’ she said.
‘He said it was skin cancer – this tiny little dot on my nose. The good thing is I got it really early, and there’s not much treatment.’
Natalie went on to explain the spot is so small she is able to have it removed with two non-invasive treatments.
The TV star’s dermatologist used an AI device to detect worrisome changes in her skin when compared to a global database.

He then used a laser-induced plasma device called a Spectra-Scope to detect cancerous cells in the spot, before doing a biopsy to confirm it was skin cancer.
Co-host Matt ‘Shirvo’ Shirvington asked Natalie: ‘When you saw that graph, and it indicated that it was skin cancer, how nervous were you?’
‘You sort of go, “Oh my God.” So many Aussies, millions and millions of us, have skin cancer, but it does make you think,’ the breakfast show host responded.
The Channel Seven star said she hoped it served as a reminder to everyone to get their skin checked regularly.
