Alicia Keys Responds to Criticism Over Not Wearing Makeup at VMAs 2016

Alicia Keys looked absolutely beautiful at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards and her makeup-free face sparked a lot of social chatter.

The 35-year-old singer received a lot of praise for the “empowering” move, but also received some criticism from trolls online.

Alicia took to her Twitter account the day after the show to explain that she isn’t “anti-makeup” despite the move.

“Y’all, me choosing to be makeup free doesn’t mean I’m anti-makeup. Do you! 😘😘,” she captioned a selfie of her blowing a kiss to the camera.
