Alicia Keys’ makeup-free look includes some makeup

There’s a secret to Alicia Keys’ makeup-free look.

Keys, 35, has recently been applauded for her decision to go au naturel. She announced in a Lenny Letter in May, “I don’t want to cover up anymore.”

Regardless of her new reputation, Keys’ makeup artist, Dotti, who also works with Emma Watson and Maggie Gyllenhaal, recently told W Magazine that the singer wears some makeup while “performing or ‘Voice’ judging.” This can include filling in the Keys’ brows, enhancing her freckles or giving her cheeks a warm glow with a self-tanner.

While this might sound like cheating to some, the makeup artist was quick to note, “Compared to the world of makeup, there is minimal. She’s already powerful to look at.”
