Alicia Keys Embraces No-Makeup Movement With Empowering Message
The 35-year-old entertainer rocked absolutely no makeup. It was no surprise, as Alicia had recently announced that she had stopped wearing makeup as part of her journey towards empowerment.
Writing on the feminist digital publication Lenny Letter, the artist stated:
“Women are brainwashed into feeling like we have to be skinny, or sexy, or desirable, or perfect. One of the many things I was tired of was the constant judgment of women. The constant stereotyping through every medium that makes us feel like being a normal size is not normal, and heaven forbid if you’re plus-size. Or the constant message that being sexy means being naked.
