No amount of make up will make you feel better about yourself. There’s obv ways to accent and enhance your features but on a daily basis is not transformative. Plus you’d much rather at least appreciate in some ways the way you look without. It’s hard but you will get there, it just comes to a point where you stop caring so much and that is the goal. Not solely looking better, especially based on the views of others. Hope you find this helpful :smile:

I have a friend who used to think that- but she really was very pretty- but she started putting on so much make up- which was also very cute- but she tells me her skin isn't good anymore- I think she'll be magnificent no matter what- so just remember you are beautiful- even if it's not in the usual glazed way.
Have you ever heard of Wabi-Sabi?
Basically it's finding beauty in imperfect things- idk what you look like really- but just remember you are beautiful to a lot of people- I'm not just talking about your body and face (tho they are probably really good) I'm talking about your heart and soul.

I was reading this book called The school for Good and Evil- and the person who was at first stereotyped as ugly and witch-like turned out to be the princess- and the perfect looking girl stereotyped as the princess turned out to be the witch- and the witch who was actually a princess turned beautiful- not by make-up or physical alteration- but by putting a smile on her face and letting her good soul shine through.
