Singer Alicia Keys was photographed on the red carpet of the BET Awards in June 2016 without any make-up on.
Also, during the NBC’s “The Voice” on Sunday night, the Singer had no make-up on. INDEPENDENCE UK reports that the he process that led Keys to alter her public image came after years of fame and feeling insecure, as she wrote in Lena Dunham’s “Lenny Letter”.
Alicia Keys wrote, ''I was finally uncovering just how much I censored myself, and it scared me. Who was I anyway? Did I even know HOW to be brutally honest anymore? Who I wanted to be?
''I didn’t know the answers exactly, but I desperately wanted to.
''In one song I wrote, called “When a Girl Can’t Be Herself,” it says : In the morning from the minute that I wake up / What if I don’t want to put on all that makeup / Who says I must conceal what I’m made of / Maybe all this Maybelline is covering my self-esteem
''No disrespect to Maybelline, the word just worked after the maybe. But the truth is … I was really starting to feel like that — that, as I am, I was not good enough for the world to see.
''This started manifesting on many levels, and it was not healthy.''
She went on to explain how she managed to regain her confidence and feel good with makeup.
