makeup

The beauty of a woman is not in her facial makeup but in the kindness of her soul.

Beauty is not about make up it__ about what it makes you to be from within.

Leave your hair natural. Let your beard grow out. Leave the makeup in the bag. Wear comfortable clothes. Stop worrying so much about your looks and start looking around you. You have missed so much beauty trying to become beautiful. You have missed your own worth trying to become worthy. Let the mask break open. Let it lie on the floor. Let yourself be seen. Let yourself see.

Every woman with her own makeup!

There's no better makeup than confidence

Why hoard away so many back-issues of People Magazine? Fashion magazines are just empty promises. You can go bankrupt blowing all your cash on expensive beauty products, but the only way you__l ever look just like the people on those glossy front covers is if you know how to use computer editing software for photographs. Besides, people who think they are ugly, are never really all that ugly anyway. People who think they are pretty, are rarely ever all that pretty.

When I put on makeup, I'm not doing it to pander to antiquated patriarchal ideals of feminine beauty. I'm doing it because it makes mr feel good.

My general feeling is that date make-up should be an honest advertisement for a potential relationship. Frankly, it__ easier for you that way. There__ no point labouring over lots of perfectly applied make-up if you are, in reality, a low-maintenance kind of girl who can__ possibly keep it up beyond the honeymoon period. Equally, it seems unwise to imply you__e someone who rolls out of bed and out to a Sunday farmer__ market all natural skin, flushed cheeks and a smidge of lip balm when your real life is spent in full coverage foundation and smoky eyes. Like any part of dating, it is always safer to be yourself because who can maintain a lie for long?

Mia: I was sixteen when I first realized my mom was more concerned about my appearance than I was_ I__l be talking to my mom and realize she hasn__ heard a word because she__ studying my face to see if the foundation I__ using is a good match for my skin tone.

There are no ugly women, only lazy ones

Maybe it__ NOT Maybelline. Maybe you were just born with it.

Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.

Consider the fact that maybe_just maybe_beauty and worth aren__ found in a makeup bottle, or a salon-fresh hairstyle, or a fabulous outfit. Maybe our sparkle comes from somewhere deeper inside, somewhere so pure and authentic and REAL, it doesn__ need gloss or polish or glitter to shine.

Women! Dressed to kill the woman in them.

Feminism and femininity are not mutually exclusive. It is misogynistic to suggest that they are. Sadly, women have learned to be ashamed and apologetic about pursuits that are seen as traditionally female, such as fashion and makeup. But our society does not expect men to feel ashamed of pursuits considered generally male - sports cars, certain professional sports. In the same way, men's grooming is never suspect in the way women's grooming is - a well-dressed man does not worry that, because he is dressed well, certain assumptions might be made about his intelligence, his ability, or his seriousness. A woman, on the other hand, is always aware of how a bright lipstick or a carefully-put-together outfit might very well make others assume her to be frivolous.

When I was your age...I wish I'd known that I already had everything I needed within myself to be happy, instead of looking for happiness at beauty counters.

__ipstick is really magical. It holds more than a waxy bit of color - it holds the promise of a brilliant smile, a brilliant day, both literally and figuratively.

Minimalism is a girl's best asset, blend tones, smudge hard outlines; if all else fails; Photoshop it.
