I am a typical woman who loves fashion, who loves to always be presentable and beautiful in the eyes of other people. However, I am not a "head turner", I do not have the beauty of a hollywood actress, I do not have the skin of snow white, nor body of angelina jolie. I do not even wear expensive clothes, jewelry or shoes as I do not have those. I know I can still be beautiul in some other way. I just want to boost my self confidence. I know I can be as pretty as they are or even surpass them in my own little way. I would like to seek advice from you friends in whatever other way I can be beautiful. Any beauty tips?

your statement saying you are not a head turner or as beautiful as others is the first thing you need change. if you are always doubting yourself you will never feel beautiful. learn to love yourself learn to see the natural beauty you have and never judge yourself against others. listen to Christina Aguilera song I am beautiful .. and start to believe in yourself ... we are all beautiful no matter what :)

Thanks for making me realize that. sometimes I just cant help it, and compare myself to others. well, you are correct, the first step to be beautiful is to first love yourself.

Candylove, What you need to do is find out what makes you beautiful. They have folks who are Image Consultants in major department stores that can hook you up. You can experiment with makeup and go to makeup counter and have them make you over and see if that works for you. You can check out Vogue and other fashion magazines to see what it is that works for you. Check out clothes that appeal to you and work that out.

For one thing, you have to remember that those Hollywood people aren't really as perfect as they look in pictures, and when they get ready for a big event they have a whole staff of people making them look good. And of course, having all those people telling them how perfect they are helps convince them they are. So, their confidence is built, they feel more beautiful and so look more beautiful. So, I guess I'm saying you have to remember they are human, too, and since they are human they aren't perfect. Which means a lot of their looking so good is how amazing and talented and beautiful they feel. So, if you can feel beautiful and act beautiful, you will be beautiful.
