Alicia Keys No make up Movement




Natural beauty

Natural Beauty is a topic of Mich controversy because it's something that we can't seem to agree as to what natural beauty is.


Is natural beauty being yourself in the state you feel most comfortable.


Which includes wearing make up (natural shades) natural hair in a straight state because you feel most comfortable that way.

No make up at all natural hair


I will never forget getting into a HUGE argument with a beyonce fan when she came out with the song "Pretty Hurts" about accepting herself and saying if she really accepted her self she would let her natural color hair grow out and and go natural.


I got SLAMMED to the wall about how she was being herself and all this stuff.


But the fact of the matter is that if we are being honest if celebrities stopped wearing make up and went natural make up companies would go out of business and so would a lot of hair products companies.


But is impressive me to now have a artist such as Alicia keys taking the steps out to do just that.


Now some may argue she's a nep soul r&b songstress so it's not far fetched for her to take a hop skip or jump over into natural make up less look.


But its not about that, it's the impact of the fact that she took the conscious effort to do so which will make others take a step back and say "she looks good without make up let e try not wearing make up."


No they have a whole no make up movement starting #Nomakeup

This has been needed


Natural hair has been going strong for 7 years and there has been natural make up brands

But that was still make up to make you look like you have on no make up but to actually not wear make up

That is a major move and it's said to say it took so long for this to happen.


Being natural should never have to be dictated by a celebrity. It should be conscious effort bloggers and bloggers have been pushing it for a while ten years ago I wanted to create a movement toward natural look and celebrating it. It's said it took 12 years to come this far and now we are just getting respect for natural beauty.


True natural Beatty, I use to never wear make up but now I do on occasion but I must say I believe its the make up that causes me to have my breakouts


I be alive if we took care of the inside of our body we wouldn't ha e breakouts and our skin would be as flawless as our airbrush make up


But we must be taught we are beautiful just as blacks have been taught our skin tones are ugly make up became a crunch for us.


Now, we are finally starting to see natural beauty.

And how beautiful it is.


Even Alicia keys was scared to go without for her photo shoot but it turned out to show her true beauty underneath


And I can only hope more celebs will do the same to push true Natural beauty and acceptance of yourself.
