SISTER, SISTER

I'm Getting Emotional Just Looking at Tia and Tamera Mowry's Makeup-Free Selfie

Sometimes, the most random things can evoke nostalgia — the scent of a certain food cooking or hearing an old song you had completely forgotten about. That just happened to me, thanks to a photo of Tia and Tamera Mowry. Upon seeing the twins' recently posted makeup-free selfie, I was instantly taken back to my days watching the Disney Channel.

Tia posted the selfie on her Instagram on April 28 with a heartfelt caption expressing nothing but love and gratitude for her twin sister. “Been womb-mates since the beginning, sisterly love is truly one of the most beautiful kinds of love. Here's to cherishing many more moments together. Love you, sis,” the caption read. 

Tia wore a red dress and Tamera wore a patterned green one. Tia's hair was braided into small box braids in an interesting bronde hue while Tamera's was slicked back in a bun with a headband. But despite wearing totally opposite looks, their smiles were an identical match. You might have to squint while looking at this photo because of their luminous skin. Now, don't quote me, but I'm 99.9% positive there is not a lick of makeup on their faces. 

This picture was taken in July 2022, when the sisters met up in Florence, Italy, while vacationing separately in Europe. It was a few days after the duo celebrated another year around the sun, so the Cancers got to celebrate once again with their families in a new country.

Tamera wasn't the only Mowry sibling to get some love. Tia also dedicated a separate post to shout out her brothers, Tahj and Tavoir. “Gave some sisterly love yesterday. Today it’s all about the brotherly love,” the caption read. 

Every time I see a picture of the twins together, I immediately smile, reminiscing about the Disney Channel days. It's been years since I've last seen Sister, Sister, but guess it's time to give it a rewatch.
