Alicia Keys Au Naturale Is a Sight for Sore Eyes

Alicia Keys is queen full stop, but her stance on makeup is the breath of fresh air we need right now, especially at a time where photos don’t get posted without a filter and YouTube is awash with more makeup tutorials than ever. It’s got us thinking… maybe it’s time we overhaul our morning rituals - easy, we know, when you look like Ms Keys - but not Un-Thinkable.

I’m not saying filling in your eyebrows and adding a pop of colour to your pout is a bad thing, and neither is the Superwoman singer. “It doesn’t have anything to do with makeup or no makeup. It has to do with who are you, what makes you feel good, how do you want to express that and even just asking the questions — What do I feel? How do I feel good? However that is, you should do it,” Alicia said during a 2016 Grammy’s press conference. The woman talks sense.
