"BEAUTY IS HOW YOU FEEL INSIDE, AND IT REFLECTS IN YOUR EYES. IT IS NOT SOMETHING PHYSICAL" Sophia Loren.
The media and its ideals have changed our perception of what beauty is really all about. The women we see in magazines, advertisements and television shows, do not actually exists.They are created by tricks of make up,lighting and Photoshop, yet we compare ourselves to them and decide we don't measure up.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE SOCIETY'S DEFINITION OF BEAUTY, BUT YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR OWN; Don't focus on the beauty you see in ads but instead on the beauty you see in the real life people you admire. These should make you feel more beautiful:
• BE CONFIDENT; Confidence is beauty. A confident woman radiates strength, and knows she is beautiful just the way she is regardless of what the media dictates. People see you the way you see yourself, so appear beautiful in the way you walk,talk and look.
•DONT GET STRESSED OUT WHEN YOU FEEL YOU LOOK BAD; The anxiety and stress you feel about how you look can take an actual toll on your face, and you will be more likely to display the outer signs that truly withdraws from a pleasant appearance.
•SMILE OFTEN; when you smile, your face brightens up. Smiling makes you beautiful, people actually like other people who smile. Moreover, smiling can improve your mood.
•REDUCE THE MAKE UP; Try a day or two without make up. You may find out that you actually look better when your skin has a chance to breathe and your eyelashes aren't weighted down by mascara.
• BE AND LOOK HEALTHY; Engage in enough exercise and sensible eating.
•APPRECIATE YOUR FLAWS
•LOOK NEAT AND CLEAN ALWAYS; It should also be understood the the way we see ourselves sometimes is not the way other people see us.Most people look at us as a whole person, a combination of our appearance personality and actions. Their impression of our attractiveness takes into account the way we present ourselves, the kind of interactions we have with them and the way we make them feel.
Those odd features you have that borders you(it maybe your big eyes, nose, or your funny looking nature or size or height or colour etc) maybe the very feature that someone loves and admires about you.
IN ESSENCE, BE YOURSELF, LOVE YOURSELF. BEAUTY COMES FROM WITHIN.
