"How to get natural looking make up in eighteen easy steps."
"Acid peel..at home!"
"LOVE this lipstick, only $89.95!"
"Acid peel..at home!"
"LOVE this lipstick, only $89.95!"
Don't get me wrong, I love make up as much as the next lady, but we as a society are absolutely ridiculous about it. It's a multimillion dollar industry that basically has no legitimate purpose if you really think about it.
I have a great one step system to getting that natural fresh faced look...it's called waking up. Perhaps a shower? Maybe going for a jog? Voila. Natural face. You're welcome.
I'm sorry, did you say home made acid? On my face? Okay..how about you go first on that one sister.
I don't know about you but I can list twenty two things I'd rather spend ninety dollars on. I don't know that I have ever had any lip complaints, hell I would call them borderline luscious and I rock out Wal-Mart chap stick.

If you have the money to spend on making yourself high maintenance, good for you lady, whatever floats your boat. But personally, I don't see the point. Odds are, you're beautiful. You probably don't realize this because you are too infatuated with the "potential of beauty" that various products are promising you. They're lying. You don't allow your peers to lie to you so why are you taking that foundation label's crap? If you stopped looking at what needs to be better maybe you'll realize what is already great.
Trust me, I could rattle off five things in two seconds that I dislike about my appearance. Everyone can. However, if you asked me to do the same about a friend, I wouldn't know where to start. We are harder on ourselves than we are on others. Our eyes aren't trained to find physical flaws in our loved ones, we simply see who they are. Something they despise about themselves may go completely unnoticed by others, or perhaps it is even a quirk that is loved by those same people. The point is, be friends with yourself. When you have a free moment, go stand in front of a mirror. Don't go into Mean Girls mode and pick yourself apart. Look into your eyes just as a friend does. After all, you are your own best friend. Chances are you will start to notice gorgeous things about yourself that you have always overlooked.
This may sound strange coming from a nineteen year old female, but my biggest beauty inspiration is Janis Joplin. Her wild haired head and euphoric smile hang largely on a poster right outside my bathroom. When anyone mentions her name, they aren't going to get a "Damn she's sexy!" in response..but you know what? I think she's beautiful. She didn't care what she looked like and the best part was..neither did anyone else. She was still iconic, wildly successful, even a cover girl. Because she was amazing, and everyone knew it.
We all know you're beautiful. We know you're good enough. Why don't you?

I have a secret to tell; you are amazing. It's your job to let people know this fact, and it can be done no matter what you are wearing or what is or isn't on your face.
Passion is the best thing you can put in your eyes. A smile is the sexiest thing you can wear on your lips. Nothing brightens up a complexion like a quick dance around the room to your favorite song.
