Posted byBy Tia Berger | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

R&B artist K. Michelle‘s bare-beauty look is leaving her almost unrecognizable.

The “I Just Can’t Do This” singer mentioned in the past that she’s not a big fan of makeup and actually prefers sporting her bare face. K. Michelle recently took to Instagram and posted a photo of herself in her natural essence. She appeared to have on no makeup and her red hair was pulled back in a high bun, showcasing her natural beauty.

K. Michelle went for casual attire, wearing gray sweatpants and a matching T-shirt that read “Blessed.” She appeared to be at home and making her way to the music studio.

“Good Morning Beautiful People🌻,” she wrote in her caption on Feb. 6. She added, “I stay high to fight my lows🌻 #studioday Love my hair.”

In her comments, fans said they were so used to seeing the 33-year-old with makeup that it was unusual to see her without any. However, fans still gawked over how naturally beautiful she looked with a bare face.

“I like the fact that you don’t look like you but you’re still stunning here ..both of you is 😍😍 #boffum,” an Instagram user commented.

“First off biiiih idk that was u lol I’m looking like hopo who dat gurl🧐lol,” a second fan wrote. “You look beautiful with no makeup 😍.”

“You looked different in this pic..😂😍 don’t even look like herself but she’s still naturally beautiful 😍.”

K. Michelle often presents herself dolled up with glammed hairstyles and makeup looks, but she’d prefer to sport a bare face any day of the week.

After receiving a wave of backlash in 2017 from fans who accused her of skin bleaching, Michelle expressed her inclination to wear a makeup-free face.

“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,” K. Michelle stated in an Instagram post.

She also addressed the skin-lightening accusations by revealing that she suffers from a skin condition.

“Having skin Rosacea is something that can truly make you self conscious,” the singer added. “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!”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
