She preaches Be Cool, Be Strong, Be Real, Be Yourself on the latest four covers of Elle Brasil Magazine‘s September 2017 issue.
The 36-year-old singer joined the #nomakeup movement in June 2016, she announced with the text “Time to Uncover” in May 2016, she probably could not imagine the momentum she was giving to a new movement, to look more fondly at our own beauty. “Whenever I left the house without makeup, I was worried. What if someone wanted to take a picture with me? What if he post? Those were the insecure, superficial, but honest thoughts I had, “She wrote to Lenny Letter’s Lena Dunham newsletter.
Since then, she has been appearing at shows and red rugs with more natural skin and raising a debate about caring for skin instead of hiding it. So, do not be surprised if you find a photo in which she appears using colored shadows, blush or lipstick, for example. What Alicia did, in fact, was to stop looking at makeup as something that she was dependent on, and went on to look at the products as a source of fun and creativity. This constant process of self-knowledge is what keeps her fans intrigued.
On these four Elle Brasil September covers, she looks beautiful wearing only moisturizer, pink blush and rocking her colorful braids.
