When you love yourself just the way you are, everyone else’s opinion will not matter. Earlier today, Blanche Bailly posted a photo of herself without make up.
This is very impactful because of the message it carries a lot of weight that if a popular singer with over 1 million followers on Instagram can show the world how she really looks like in real life without makeup, this can help boost other women’s morals and encourage them to not think that celebrities and social media influencers are as perfect as they portray online.
Seeing the REAL Bailly makes people who idolize her to know that she also is human and has real life issues such as acne, skin discoloration, blemishes and other skin conditions many women suffer from.
I love that Bailly was bold enough to do what most celebrities and influencers and people in the limelight would never do… post an unfiltered photo of herself with no makeup on. This is many women’s nightmare especially if they have issues with acne.
Blanche Bailly has over a million follower across her social media pages, mostly consisting of young ladies who adore her and her music. She is known to be a sex symbol whose choice of outfits teases your imagination.
Although she is not responsible for the decisions her female fans make when it comes to them wanting to improve on their physical appearance to look perfect like the celebrities and social media influencers that see online, popular figures do need to understand the importance of their influence to the public and the message they carry even if subtle.
In this day and age where every photo seems photoshopped or highly edited, and where AI generated photos are made to make humans look flawless and perfectly unreal, it’s refreshing to see an artist with a huge following, use her platform to show her followers that she is like anyone else and suffers from skin issues like everyone else.
This is something many female influencers hardly ever to do in the name of being perfect. Can you blame them when every commercial of a woman you see depicts a perfectly beautiful and skinny woman with perfect long hair. It doesn’t help that AI generated photos of “perfectly looking” but none existent humans is a thing nowadays.
Question: Ladies will you feel comfortable posting an unfiltered photo of yourself on social media if you had skin blemishes and/or acne?
