Beauty is Power

Make up is just one of the ways to express your personality. It gives you the chance to experiment with your look and define who you are. For a lot of people makeup also gives them the self-esteem and makes them feel put together, especially when you’re going out, going to school or university or even within a work environment. Whether its lipstick or mascara, there are several beauty products that can lift your confidence.

A bold lip colour can really make a big difference to your look. Anyone can rock a classic red lip or, as its autumn, you can try autumnal shades such as berry, reds and browns. The classic winged eyeliner look with mascara or a lash curler is also another idea. Filling in your eyebrows is definitely a way to feel put together with celebrities like Cara Delevingne, Audrey Hepburn and Lily Collins being noted as having the best brows. 

To end, I'll leave you with this quote:

"Beauty is power, makeup is something that enhances that"

We all have a story to tell!

Yes, you go and break through that mirror

We often like to compare ourselves to some person, that gorgeous celebrity or perhaps a person walking past us with flawless hair, and we wonder "gosh what i would do to look like that!", but heres the thing, if we all adopted ONE look, ONE set of hairstyle and ONE set of features *cough* plastic surgery *cough* i think we'd all look mundane!

A picture is worth a thousand words is a cliche saying that goes a long way, our face is an empty canvas on some days we like to paint a set of rugby red lips or feather eyelashes and on other days? We learn to embrace. Now if you think about your DNA is something sort of an accessory, if you please, something so different and unique and entirely you get to have.

Venturing onto the topic of confidence, i think a lot of the upcoming generation lacks in, and its considered a norm, both men and women, which is truthfully really sad. We need to embrace the way the shape of our eyes curve, the laugh lines around our face, what do those lines tell you? What story? Peeps i know i can't be the only one to say i appreciate an empty canvas, its intriguing to see the characters that shape your face, without makeup.

One thing i've learnt is the amount of time it takes to get ready, when in fact i could spend that time doing other things, and this includes an extra hour of sleep, YES we all love our sleep, and dont lie! how many times have you rocked up late to dinner parties because you weren't ready on time *raises hand*. We as a society went through the phase of #NOMAKEUPCHALLENGE which i applaud to the person who invented it, it not only provided a platform for women, especially younger generations to learn to embrace a empty face, let alone posting in on Instagram and social platform that engaged countless of women, ranging from celebrities to everyday friends. Inspiration is what I'm talking about!

So what have we learnt lovely creatures? Yes Burno mars was right, you are beautiful Just the way you are, but most important life would be so much more productive if we were confident and learnt to tell stories through our face rather than a full canvas of makeup, and let yourself be genuinely free.

Until next time.
