The 35-year-old won praise for her natural look on the show
SHE started the #NoMakeUp movement back in July of this year.
And on Sunday evening Alicia Keys once again let her natural beauty do the talking as she appeared on the X Factor to perform her new track Blended Family.
Going completely make-up free, the singer wowed viewers with both her stunning vocal performance and bare-faced look.
Praising her look, one person tweeted: “How refreshing to see Alicia Keys without makeup on X factor, looking natural. #nomakeup #natural #noslap.”
Another wrote: “Love Alicia keys. Plus I’m sure she’s the only female singer to go on X Factor and wear no make up. #Natural #XFactor.”
While someone commented: “Great to see @aliciakeys on x factor going natural and covered up. A few younger artist could take a leaf out of her book. #XFactor #natural.”
Opening up about her decision to start the #NoMakeUp movement previously, she said: “You are allowed to say no. As women, we get into this wild habit where we feel we have to please everybody and make sure everyone feels so good, but we never look at ourselves and ask if we’re OK.
“I don’t want to cover up anymore. Not my face, not my mind, not my soul, not my thoughts, not my dreams, not my struggles, not my emotional growth. Nothing.”
The Empire State of Mind hitmaker made her decision after arriving for a photoshoot and the photographer insisting on taking her picture before she had begun getting ready.
She previously recalled: “I was shocked.
“Instantly, I became a bit nervous and slightly uncomfortable. My face was totally raw. I had on a sweatshirt! As far as I was concerned, this was my quick run-to-the-shoot-so-I-can-get-ready look, not the actual photoshoot look.”
But after seeing the pictures, Alicia had never felt more “honestly beautiful”.
She admitted: “I swear it is the strongest, most empowered, most free, and most honestly beautiful that I have ever felt.”
