When I started wearing makeup my mothers advice was simple: “Makeup is meant to accentuate your beauty, not create it.” It wouldn’t be far fetched if Mama Tina offered similar advice to her naturally beautiful daughter. Beyoncé, in her new found maternal glory has chosen to forgo the heavy makeup and step out with a fresh face.
Whether it’s a bare face or minimal makeup, Baddie Bey looks flawless at all times and you can too with these refreshing products.
