Fans Fawn Over K. Michelle’s Non-Makeup Look

R&B artist K. Michelle is turning heads with her fresh faced appearance.

The “I Just Can’t Do It” singer took to her social media account on Thursday and posted a video of herself in her infamous red wig. She also flossed her “natural” beauty in the video by displaying a naked face completely free of makeup-free while jamming to YNW Melly’s “Murder on My Mind.”

K. Michelle captioned her fresh-faced recording, “No makeup studio day💋.”

Folks gushed over how naturally gorgeous the singer looked without any the glamour and glitz.

“And you still look good a natural beauty is the best beauty never forget that,” one fan complimented the artist.

Another person commented, “We still see the red hair K 😜! No on a serious note mama you look so naturally beautiful and talented without the makeup sis.”

A third person wrote, “Kimberly is soo damn fine 😍 one of da baddest females in the game and she ain’t got no makeup.”

Contrary to popular belief K. Michelle is not a big fan of getting glammed up and would prefer to rock a make-up free face on a daily basis.

In January 2017, the 33-year-old discussed her desire to rock a bare face after she was under fire for allegedly lightning her skin. She addressed the ongoing skin bleaching rumors in an Instagram post and also revealed to fans that she suffered from a skin condition.

“If you know me you know I hate getting in glam. I hate wearing any makeup since I’ve found comfort in NOT wearing it,” she wrote. “Having skin Rosacea is something that can truly make you self conscious. Big red patches on my face as hateful people continue to make my skin a joke! I just said F*CK it. No makeup let me skin heal. Only makeup for appearances!”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
