Keke Palmer Goes Completely Makeup-Free and It’s a Total Friday Mood

Baby, this is Keke Palmerrrrrrr. Aside from the wildly catchy jingle that Keke Palmer’s podcast delivers, and the content itself, of course, there’s one more thing we love about the actor and multi-hyphenate’s episodes. She’s not afraid to go bare-faced, no makeup, and show her gorgeous skin.

Keke’s long been candid about her struggles with adult acne, the scarring, and how that impacts her emotionally, but she’s never stopped letting us in. And in her latest podcast episode, the star has gone barefaced for the recording sesh and she’s honestly glowing.

It’s such a Friday mood. Being confident in your own skin, taking it easy and straight up chilling. But don’t get it twisted, we aren’t praising going make-up-free as in any way the ‘better’ or the ‘more confident’ thing to do. Keke slayyyyss a full face beat. Just last week she was hosting in soft glam with full feathery lashes.

Being confident without makeup isn’t about not wearing it anymore. Wearing makeup doesn’t automatically mean you’re insecure or you’re hiding something. People wear makeup for so many other reasons; it’s fun, it’s art, it’s nice to get dressed up and it’s okay to want to be a glammed or yassified version of yourself! It’s also okay if you are a little insecure or want to conceal certain things.

We aren’t celebrating Keke’s bare-face as a win over glam, what we’re celebrating is her being comfortable with or without.
