‘Who You Kidding?’: Alexis Skyy’s Sexy, Makeup-Free Pic Goes Left After Fans Point Out She Is, In Fact, Wearing Makeup

Alexis Skyy tried to pull one over on fans recently when she uploaded a photo to Instagram insisting she was not wearing makeup. However, fans were not having it and promptly called her out.

The “Love and Hip Hop: New York” star shared an image posing outside in the Dominican Republic on May 24 and captioned it, “Island Gyal with no make up just a tan 😛 Outfit @fashionnova.”

But the star undoubtedly had on false lashes and it appeared she also wore blush.

Fans took notice and wasted no time pointing it out and chastised the VH1 star for trying to pull a fake out.

“Definitely makeup lol 😩😂”

“But you do have make up on stop it.”

“Well your fine but i can clearly SEE red makeup on your cheeks unless theyre naturally rosey and we know theyre not. You got no reason to lie when your that fine anyway just saying @alexisskyy_”

“Who you kidding?”

This is the latest dose of criticism Skyy has earned.

A recent thirst trap-like pic the LHHNY star posted on Instagram raised eyebrows when fans overlooked her scantily clad appearance. Instead, her followers noticed she had on sneakers as she sat in her home on her white carpet.

“Who just walks around the house w sneakers 🤷🏾.”

“Take those shoes off in the house.”

“This how you dress in the house? 👀 Take those shoes off.”

Still, it wasn’t all criticism for the star. She managed to wrangle several favorable comments.

“Ooooweeee yasss 😩❤️ bae always slaying and snatching edges.”

“Bad Lil Bihh Pretty And Thick 💋 @alexisskyy_ wow! super fine! 😍.”

Even still, scrutiny manages to follow Skyy everywhere. While on “Sister Circle” last summer, the star discussed how she handles the negativity.

“I used to care but I had to say, ‘Why should I care?’ They’re gonna talk about you regardless so you might as well make ’em talk,” she said. “That’s how I feel. So I’m gonna keep being me and being the best that I can be at what I’m doing. Because if you do something good, they talk. If you do something bad, they talk.”

She also said that “staying connected to God” keeps her grounded.

“If I would wake up every morning and read these comments, I probably would want to kill myself at this my point,” Skyy confessed. “But I know who I am.”

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.
