Alicia Keys On #no makeup, 'Here' & Empowerment, Lensed By Quentin de Brey

Super talent Alicia Keys continues to promote her #nomakeup beauty advocacy in the latest issue of Net-a-Porter's magazine The Edit. Dishing on her new album 'Here' hitting global ears on Friday, Keys says she has found the freedom to be an "aggressive bad ass". Abandoning makeup -- a trend not seen since the days of Woodstock -- Keys says ditching makeup has "made her feel more beautiful and empowered than ever before."

Keys' life is rich as the mother of two boys (Genesis, one, and Egypt, six); married to a record producer and music mogul Swizz Beatz; co-founder of a charity that provides AIDS medicine to families in Africa; and a judge on USA's 'The Voice'.  In the The Edit shoot, she's not wearing "a scrap of makeup", says her interview.  Her secret is not only dumping makeup but diet, sleep, acupuncture and a jade skin-roller.
