Kelly Rowland Explains Why She Doesn’t Wear Makeup

Kelly Rowland

R&B beauty Kelly Rowland often goes without makeup, which explains why her skin has that natural, healthy glow.

"I started wearing makeup at 14 for Destiny's Child," Rowland tells People magazine. "I remember the first time I saw my lashes with mascara on them – it was my favorite thing. For me, makeup reminds me of work. Without it, I feel natural and untouched."

Rowland's album, Talk a Good Game, is set for release in June.

      Freckles are not a flaw. I think they are so adorable. I too have moles so I can't speak on them, because if they even think about popping out I'm getting them removed.

      Remove the spaces from around the dots. It's not my cup of tea. I don't need a place where folks can fight with reckless abandon. Now I would visit it he (Chan is a he right?) covered the entertianment news that Sandra neglects for whatever reason. I be wanting to talk about it with yall not on some other site. If yall are over there then I would go there. But if folk over there fighting I have no interest in that.

      Here's our next SR Book Club book...
      Successful Women Think Differently – by Valorie Burton

      Quotes to live by in Chapter 1 ….

      § “To succeed at a high level, you must start expecting more.”

      § “Put yourself around people who know more (‘and earn more’) than you, and learn all you can from them.”

      § “…successful women think differently. They make decisions differently. They set goals differently. They bounce back from failure and adversity differently. They tap into their innate strengths differently. Fortunately, their habits are teachable.”

      § “Sometimes sticking it out is not the best option. Sometimes you need to push the reset button and start again.”

    • ReadingIsFundamental

      @ § “Sometimes sticking it out is not the best option. Sometimes you need to push the reset button and start again.”

      YES! This is why that two weeks notice is going to be typed up and submitted on MONDAY!!!

      @§ “Put yourself around people who know more (‘and earn more’) than you, and learn all you can from them.”

      _____________
      I don't know about that one. I know some miserable people making more money than me and are more "educated" than me. I include happiness as a part of success.
