Amy Schumer Wants To See You Without Makeup

by Stephanie Chon

It’s no doubt that Amy Schumer has been killing it amongst the big dogs on Comedy Central as she started a third season of her ever-so-hilarious series Inside Amy Schumer. This week, before the hilarious sketch aired, Amy Schumer tweeted a #GirlYouDontNeedMakeup photo of her without makeup and it started a hashtag trend on Twitter. The caption read, “In 30 mins #InsideAmy airs. Post your #girlyoudontneedmakeup photos (no makeup and tag me and #InsideAmy and I’ll RT!” Naturally, Amy Schumer fans everywhere decided to join.

The sketch pokes fun at songs about embracing a natural, makeup-less beauty. In the sketch, Schumer implies how there are tons of songs out there that may say we look great without makeup ( “sweatpants, hair tied, chillin' with no makeup on. That’s when you’re the prettiest”), but if the world were to really see all of our makeup-free faces, they would probably regret it.

Despite the comedic approach to the topic, Schumer decided to celebrate it in a more empowering way on Twitter using the hashtag #girlyoudontneedmakeup, asking women all around the world to send in selfies of their makeup-free faces. Since then it’s been causing a powerful movement with tons of photos flowing in. Check out all the beauties below, and grab some makeup wipes and tweet your fresh faces, too.
