Beauty isn’t always about how you look or what you wear.  Beauty isn’t about lipsticks and shadows.  Beauty is made of what’s inside of you.  How do you know you are beautiful; When you wear confidence like makeup.  When you value yourself more than you value things.  When you feel good inspite of your circumstances.  The real truth about beauty is knowing who you are.  Beauty is when you turn heads when you enter the room without parting your lips.  Beauty looks at the heart and works inside out.  Beauty isn’t loud or an attention seeker, beauty gentle introduces itself like a perfect stranger.  Beauty can only be pure.  It feels like a warm Summer night and it smells like fresh flowers.  Beauty is a new chapter waiting for a perfect ending.  Beauty is simply love; loving yourself enough to say YES!

Although beauty vies for its own standard, its contender is the beast.  The beast is beauty’s contrast.  It is often mistaken for the beauty by its inability to reach its full potential.  Often the beast deceives the spirit of beauty within and appears self-confident and secure.  The foundation of the beast breeds negative thoughts and words that come from a place that is not loved.  Its representatives are envy, negativity, self-hatred and enmity.  Beauty’s opponent the beast, can eliminate the highlights of a beautiful life. The beast robs beauty from its genuineness.  It maximizes the blemishes and conceals the truth.  While the beast within waits for the perfect moment to surface, if real beauty prevails it cannot show up first.  The beast cannot and will not win if the beauty in you is authentic.   When we yield our lives to love and the beauty surrounding us, beauty can only exist and the beast dies.  Therefore, the content above is not a fairytale, but a realistic journey called life so choose BEAUTY!!

Happy Makeup,
