This week on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," Kim Fields tried to get the other ladies to embrace their natural beauty by inviting them to a makeup-free brunch. But not everyone was onboard as some of the ladies came with a full face of makeup, and Kenya Moore took offense at the invite, saying that she is a grown woman who doesn't need to be told what to look like.

For her Beatless Brunch, Kim went all out and sent an audiobook as an invitation to the ladies to celebrate "where the canvas is when it's a little more blank." A few of the ladies were hesitant to go without some makeup, so Kandi Burruss, Phaedra Parks, and Cynthia Bailey came with a much toned-down version of their everyday looks. Sheree Whitfield gamely went bare-faced, but Porsha Williams and Kenya both wore a full-face of makeup.

At brunch, Kenya decided to confront Kim about the invitation because she doesn't need to be told what to look like, but Kim appeared to pay no attention to her complaints.

On her blog, Kim shared what was running through her mind during brunch. She started by saying that she was happy that they all showed up because when one does something different, "you really don't know what to expect."

"Second, 'beatless' was a theme, not a mandatory requirement," she continued. Kim added that the only thing that was on her mind is ensuring that her guests have a good time.

Next week, the drama between Kenya and Kim continues as the two argue over Cynthia's commercial shoot in Jamaica. Cynthia made the two co-directors of a TV spot for her sunglass line, and the two are refusing to work together. Meanwhile, NeNe Leakes surprises the other ladies when she arrives unannounced in Jamaica.

In the midseason trailer of the show, the ladies are having dinner when NeNe shows up with her husband. Everyone seemed shock at her arrival and NeNe tells the camera that the ladies should "pick their faces off the floor."

"NeNe goin' to be always around now," said NeNe. "And she never leavin'. Never!"

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
