Beauty is a controversial and
sensitive topic for women. Do women need to wear makeup to look beautiful? ...This has
been an age old question that sits at the center of beauty controversies, as
we evolve, trends evolve and some die out, while others survive to become a tradition. At the end we all come to agree that makeup or being make up free is a
personal choice.
Out of the multiple controversies that surrounds natural makeup –free beauty has become a beauty rebel, born to an African American Father and Italian Mother, Alicia Keys needs no introduction as she leads the beauty rebels revolutionizing the concept of beauty in the 21st century. The songstress announced on the 31st of may 2016 writing an essay for Lenny letter (Lena Dunhan’s online newsletter) that she was no longer going to wear makeup, she revealed that she felt like a chameleon hiding her true image and the entertainment industry (Hollywood) made it hard for her to be herself “much women are brain washed into feeling like we have to be skinny, sexy, desirable or perfect”… she also said “I was not god enough for the world to see”. she felt make up was covering her true self and her esteem.
Keys solidified her no makeup
fashion statement on the red carpet during the MTV Video music Awards (VMAS) without
a drop of makeup, she shows up to work and functions makeup free, and has
continued to walk on the red carpet makeup free. Women all over the world have
pondered on makeup or no makeup day, with that taught in mind it is good to
look good with or without makeup. Critics say Alicia can go without makeup
because she is naturally beautiful and that she has a beauty regimen and
beautician that caters to her appearance. She however reacted on twitter “y’all choosing to be makeup free doesn’t mean I’m anti makeup.
