The world went crazy in 2016 with the news of Alicia Keys’ decision to go make-up free. It sounded almost impossible for someone who works in an industry in which beauty and appearance are crucial for success.
The public felt that she had issues with make-up and had negative judgments towards people who wear it to enhance their natural look. They couldn’t have been more wrong. The multiple Grammy Award-winner said to TODAY’s Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie, “I just want to be honest with myself.”
Four years later, only seen with little or no make-up, she is as beautiful as ever with gorgeous skin.
