Cameroonian artist Blanche proudly shows herself without makeup and filters on Facebook and provoked mixed reactions on the web.
Blanche Bailly needs no introduction. Born Bailly Larinette Tatah, she is an Afro-pop singer-songwriter from Cameroon. She is known for her rich and varied discography including among others BonBon, Mimbayeur (ft Mink’s), Argent, DouDou (ft Fanicko), etc.
But Blanche Bailly is also and above all revered for her dazzling beauty and her curves, which she shows off with no hesitation on her various social media accounts.
Contrary to her usual habit, she recently posted a natural photo of her face on her Facebook page. As one might expect, reactions were mixed since she has long accustomed her fans to pictures that were anything but natural. Some Internet users expressed surprise, shock and even disappointment. Faced with so many harsh criticisms, the Cameroonian artist seemed surprised and implied that she always shows herself natural, without makeup on her Snapchat account.
She even launched a challenge on Facebook.
“I challenge this morning girls or women who love themselves and are self-confident despite their imperfections. Post a photo in the comments section with #Authentik #Nomakeup 🔥 Let’s go 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️”
Many of her followers took up the challenge she set. There is every reason to believe that Bailly is no longer afraid of showing off her natural face. She seems to want to fully embrace her natural beauty and encourage women to do so as well. It’s likely that she has just had a positive influence on her audience.
