Just two days after Keys’ makeup-free moment at the VMAs and after receiving hundreds of disapproving messages from disgruntled fans, the singer’s husband Swizz Beatz,posted a videoto Instagram, relaying his wife’s decision to go sans cosmetics.

“We gotta really talk about this — you gotta think about this, this is deep,” he began the video, addressed to his followers.

“Somebody sitting home mad because somebody didn’t wear makeup on their face…not your face,” Beatz said. “You can do whatever you want to do. She didn’t tell y’all to wear no makeup. She’s just not vibing with the makeup all the way 100 percent.”

“I swear it is the strongest, most empowered, most free, and most honestly beautiful that I have ever felt,” she wrote in her essay inThe Lenny Letter.

Keys’ decision to go barefaced is hers — and has nothing to do with her like (or dislike) of cosmetics. She opted to go makeup-free for her, and she’s continued her sans makeup streak because she wanted to. And with that, we should all follow Key’s lead: Do what works for you — and let others do the same.
