Why do people like to ignore the fact that Alicia Keys is conventionally beautiful? Yes, she’s gorgeous. Yes, she stopped wearing makeup. But for Christ’s sake LOOK. AT. HER. Light skinned, no acne/hyper-pigmentation/scarring, slim nose, full eyebrows, long, loose curly hair. Do NOT deny the fact that it is easier for her externally to be accepted for her no makeup movement.
I'ma reblog this for emphasis
Like people were dragging Viola Davis through the mud in that scene from HTGAWM where she takes off her makeup and wig.
Colorism at its finest
