Yesterday, Alicia Keys did something almost unthinkable for a celebrity. She attended a red carpet event – the MTV VMAs no less – without a scrap of makeup on her face. For the second time.
It’s a lifestyle decision the singer announced a few months ago in a Lenny Letter, after she was photographed bare faced for her album. Not only did she find it empowering, but also started a movement, causing many others to share their own #nomakeup selfies.
“Cause I don’t want to cover up anymore. Not my face, not my mind, not my soul, not my thoughts, not my dreams, not my struggles, not my emotional growth. Nothing,” she wrote.

I seriously can't believe people are getting so worked up about a woman's decision not to wear make up. What the f#ck is wrong with people?!
This is great. I don't wear make up either. I just don't have the skill for it. Every time I apply it I look like a clown. The only thing I wear is moisturiser and protective lip balm (a colour free one). I admire women who are really skilled at doing their make up.
