Ashley Graham Rocks Barely There Makeup On Her First Vogue Cover

by Andrea Marie

Model Ashley Graham just hit a major career milestone: She graces the January 2017 cover of British Vogue. While the accompanying tagline reads “the model with attitude,” we think her stunning natural beauty likely also played a role in nabbing her the coveted editorial. The body-image activist is pictured wearing minimal makeup with her wavy hair looking gorgeously untamed.

Ashley, who prefers to avoid the term “plus size,” is surely thrilled that the glossy chose to enhance the features she was blessed with. The breathtaking cover shot even highlights her freckles. Makeup artist Sally Branka added minimal peach tones to Ashley’s lips and eyes and subtly filled in her brows. As for her carefree touseled hair, we’re pretty sure it’s a total I-woke-up-like-this moment. Natural beauty for the win.
