Unfortunately, you’re exposed to all kinds of messages about how to use makeup: cover up flaws but don’t hide imperfections, don’t wear any makeup and work on perfecting your beauty routine, focus on your eyes but don’t draw on your eyebrows, and even out your skin tone while embracing your freckles. It never ends! Pen Eyeliner Despite all the mixed signals, you love your makeup, and that’s okay. Makeup isn’t trying to change you. It helps you feel true to yourself.

Image
Did you know that you possess a special ability? It’s not so difficult to believe. You can attract beauty to you—in people, objects, events, and in yourself. Not everyone believes this of themselves (it’s a little outside of the box).

Everyone seems to be waiting for that perfect morning. The morning when you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day without a single eyebrow hair out of place. Why is it that whenever it feels like you need one of these mornings most, it escapes you? It may have to do with your mindset and your perception of morning and evening rituals. The trick to getting your fairy-tale morning is working with the offbeat moments to see imperfections for what they are or could be—opportunities.
