Well, as it always turns out, some people on the Internet took issue with the fact that Keys didn't wear makeup to the VMAs last night. Her perfect skin (she didn't say she was giving up skincare, just the stuff that covers it) was all aglow but her bare face still made for an understated look that stood out as quite the statement amid all the heavily made-up faces.

Of course, in this day and age, just try making any kind of statement and getting away with it without being the target of a few choice tweets.

But Keys' look shouldn't have come as a surprise. She was already at the forefront of the #NoMakeup movement this summer, announcing that she wouldn't be wearing makeup, not just in her daily private life or even during live shows, but on The Voice. On TV! Where even the men wear makeup!

She went makeup-free at the Democratic National Convention, at the BET Awards, in the September issue of Ebony, on the cover of Grazia. On all the promotional materials for The Voice. She made a decision and she's been sticking to it, while inspiring others to dare to go bare in the process.
