Bare faced cheek

From Rihanna to Holly Willoughby, going without make up is the latest celebrity ruse to hit the headlines. Can Edel Coffey do it for a day?

BARE FACED beauty. I always thought that was a contradiction in terms. I come from a family where leaving the house without lipstick was anathema, even if it was just to go to the corner shop for milk.

In the funeral home, when my beloved grandmother passed away, all I could think about was that her lipstick was not right and how much she would have hated that.
