Celebrities would do anything and everything to uphold their status and hide their flaws from the whole world but song bird Avril shook Kenya with a brave face on Friday .
Avril became the topic of discussion on Twitter after she posted a picture of herself without make-up. The picture (below) had a caption saying, “Those mornings where I wake up with nothing but blemishes, sun and smile on my face #TeamAcneFaceThatbreaksOutWhenItfeels
Some took it kindly while others couldn’t help but troll. Here are some of the reactions from Twitter.
