And I realized I became addicted to it; I didn’t feel comfortable without it."
But when Keys came to terms with all these hard truths, she knew she had to quit makeup.
However, that wasn’t the only reason she swore off cosmetics.
However, she later learned that her quest wasn’t about cutting everything out.
And what boundaries do you want for yourself?"
But, “That just wasn’t who I was and it will never be who I am.

Keys continued, “I’m not a slave to not wearing makeup either.
I get to choose at [any] given moment.
