Hillary Clinton Addresses ‘Au Naturale’ Photo

Hillary Clinton is the Secretary of State and shouldn’t need to paint her face with makeup every morning. Still, when a photo of an Au Naturale Hillary Clinton was published on the Drudge Report a shock wave was sent through the internet.

But Clinton, rightfully so, doesn’t really care about what you think about her personal appearance. She is the Secretary of State and probably has more important things on her mind.

Clinton said:

“I feel so relieved to be at the stage I’m at in my life right now…. If I want to wear my glasses, I’m wearing my glasses. If I want to pull my hair back, I’m pulling my hair back… At some point it’s just not something that deserves a whole lot of time and attention. If others want to worry about it, I’ll let them do the worrying for a change.”

Here’s the photo of Hillary Clinton wearing just a little bit of lipstick.

Here’s a video of Hillary Clinton talking about her ‘Au Naturale’ photo to CNN’s Jill Dougherty.

Several celebrities have been posting photos sans makeup on Twitter lately to protest the constant pressure of being beautiful. Do you think female politicians feel the same pressure. Is a photo of Hillary Clinton really a big deal? Or like Clinton says, is it time for a photo like this to stop drawing so much attention?
