Alicia Keys Says She Is Not A Slave To Make-up

The renowned American singer, songwriter, and actress Alicia Keys states that she is not a fan of make-up. She says she might like to try light shades of makeup sometimes if she feels so, but Alicia stresses on the fact that she is not a slave to makeup.

"I'm not a slave to makeup. I'm not a slave to not wearing makeup either. I get to choose at any given moment. That's my right." Alicia said.

The singer-actress also stated that the main aspect here is the point of having the freedom to choose. She feels make-up is a strong medium of self-expression for women.

"I think makeup can be self-expression. I have no intention to shame anyone at all who chooses to wear it. No one should be ashamed by the way you choose to express yourself. And that's exactly the point. However, if you want to do that for yourself, you should do that." She added.

"I am all about a woman's right to choose. I think a woman should do anything she wants as it relates to her face, her body, her health. Whatever mode of expression that empowers you, that's what you should do." Alicia opined.

"What I am not down for is this ridiculously high, unrealistic expectation about appearance that we as women are held to." She added further.
