Carrying forward the #nomakeup movement that seems to be popping up on celebrity timelines these days, Kim Kardashian showed up at the Balenciaga 2017 Spring show in Paris this weekend makeup-free.

First hinting at it on her social media accounts:

She then showed up at the fashion event sporting, according to Vogue magazine, “no blush or meticulous bronzer, and a faint redness beneath her eyes betraying a hint of human fatigue.”

Kardashian is, of course, not the first beautiful celebrity to ditch the usual accoutrements of makeup at a public event. Just this past summer Alicia Keys earned headlines for showing up without makeup at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards.

But there seemed to be as much criticism as praise for her makeup-free move. We’ve yet to see similar discourse on Kardashian’s appearance.
