14 Self-Empowerment Quotes for Women
If you think beauty is just about the looks, you’re completely mistaken. I know this might sound weird coming from a makeup artist. But beauty is much more about self-empowerment and how we feel about ourselves. It’s about the way we see not only our lives but the world as a whole.
Working as a makeup artist made me realize that the way you look is, of course, important, but that true beauty, true self-confidence comes from self-empowerment.

Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.
