Alicia Key’s “New Look”
October 11, 2016
Some of us love wearing makeup – The playful colors, and transformative powers of makeup can be a way to express ourselves, change up your look and/or transform yourself into a completely whole new person. Other people, however, see makeup as a way of covering up yourself, your natural beauty and just hiding your insecurities. Whatever you think is totally cool, it’s up to you how you want to present yourself and express yourself. What isn’t cool though is shaming others if they don’t meet your personal expectations. Alicia keys is facing a large amount of controversy regarding her decision to go makeup-free at this years VMAs. Alicia’s reasoning for going bare faced is simply because she “doesn’t want to cover up anymore.” Not her face, mind, soul, thoughts, dreams, struggles and not her emotional growth.”
Overall the moral here isn’t about shaming anyone who chooses to wear makeup, it’s about having the space to feel like you don’t need to wear it.
