Nene Leakes may be a well-documented lover of all things glam, but The Real Housewives of Atlanta mogul has never shied away from showing fans how she balances her high-fashion life with the realities of being a businesswoman. Whether she's putting her own unique spin on laid-back looks or throwing "Bye Wig"-themed parties, Nene is not afraid to flaunt her naturally fabulous self. Which is why it came as no surprise when Nene took to Instagram to talk about her latest venture minus any makeup. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Peacock and the Bravo App.

On October 27, Nene shared a candid video in which she talked about all the amazing developments with her new project Ladies of Success — Beauty, Brains and Business. And though the fresh concept sounds really intriguing (there may be a Wendy Williams connection with the event), we love how open Nene is about balancing it all without giving up her glow. 

"Coming to you live once again at my house. [I have] no makeup because I'm having to work my butt off, so I'm just not able to put any makeup on these last couple of days. Ladies of Success has me moving and moving."

Keep it moving, Nene!
