It's No Surprise That Alicia Keys' Makeup-Free Album Cover Is Flawless

Can't stop, won't stop, please never stop, Alicia Keys.

Since declaring herself makeup free in June, Alicia Keys has put her money where her (bare) mouth is, showing up on red carpets au naturale and even posing on magazine covers without a trace of the stuff.

This image, though, taken by photographer Paola Kudacki for Keys’ upcoming new album β€œHere,” which debuts Nov. 4, takes the cake.

Posing in a pair of arrow-shaped earrings, some painfully glamorous hair and nothing else, Keys looks poised, powerful and unbelievably stunning in the shot.

Keys also released imagery for her first single off the album, β€œBlended Family (What You Do For Love),” in which she ― wait for it ― also looks beautiful with no makeup on.

While not the first celebrity to ever ditch makeup, Keys has certainly become eponymous with the movement, inspiring others like Gabrielle Union and Gwyneth Paltrow to follow suit, which is music to our ears.
