Whatever Is Lovely Wednesdays: Beauty is Revealed

I love this motto coined by beauty brand Lamik, which I had a chance to preview at HBA EXPO. I love this because it’s true. No matter how much makeup you put on, if you don’t have a healthy self esteem, the makeup doesn’t make it better. Makeup should be fun and something that we apply simply because we can, not because we have to. 

Fast forward to now, I feel as though I am comfortable in my skin. I’ve learned to take care of my skin better so I get more confidence in knowing that I’m doing all I can to maintain my skin. I also wear sunscreen religiously. If you have hyper pigmentation, bare skin exposure to sunlight will only make it worse. Now when I look at my bare face in the mirror I’m quite pleased. When I go out to special events, or if I know my picture will be taken I put on some makeup for a polished pretty look. I am no longer dependent on it. 

Have your heard? Singer extraordinare Janelle Monae is the new face of COVERGIRL I appreciate Covergirl because it seems as though they try to have a diverse array of celebrity spokeswomen.

 Whatever Is Lovely is a series that encourages the building up of one’s inner beauty. Every wednesday there might be a quote, an article, perhaps a spotlight of someone or simply sharing anything I find that will keep us taking care of number one (ourselves and our minds). The success of that ultimately depends on how we perceive and feel about ourselves.
