Earlier this month, Alabama Barker soared into viral fame after voicing a controversial standpoint regarding the impending election. Now, she's once again making headlines, albeit for an entirely different rationale. The 18-year-old offspring of Blink-182's drumming legend Travis Barker and his ex-partner Shanna Moakler has recently shared two Instagram snapshots showcasing a vastly altered appearance, departure from her fans' accustomed visage.
In these snapshots, Alabama adorns herself with a fraction of the makeup she usually sports, ditching her customary false lashes and bold lip liner for a mere hint of eyeshadow and a dab of lip gloss. Captioning the pictures with "CFWM," she invited a wave of commendations from her followers who applauded her natural charm.
One fan exclaimed, "Please ditch all the makeup. You look so much better au naturel!" Another concurred, "Your natural beauty is stunning. One day, you'll miss this youthful innocence. You have a lifetime to embrace maturity." A third Instagram user enthused, "This look is infinitely superior to all that garish makeup! You're so lovely; you truly shine when you rock the fresh-faced vibe!"
Earlier in October, during an Instagram Live video that spread like wildfire across social media, Barker disclosed her decision to abstain from voting in the upcoming election, citing her lack of "complete education" on both candidates and hinting at possibly voting "next year" instead. "How can I justify casting a vote for something I'm not thoroughly informed about?" she pondered, adding, "I could educate myself, but why bother if I genuinely don't care?"
Following a surge of criticism for her remarks, Barker issued another statement on Instagram, as reported by Buzzfeed. "My foremost concern stems from my inadequate understanding of both candidates, and my dissatisfaction with both options," she penned. "I acknowledge that during a recent live stream, I erroneously mentioned next year's election; I recognize that elections are held every four years, and I understand how this might appear insensitive or uninformed. I am steadfast in my commitment to deepening my knowledge on this pivotal matter," she further elaborated.
