The Power of Beauty

Beauty — Is that a woman’s powerful weapon? I read an article saying how frustrating beauty is, like more unwanted attention or their potential seems to be blurred by their beauty. In some cases, only the one who is considered attractive does truly know.

However, no one should cast aside the power of beauty and grace. It is not a sin that we are naturally and unconditionally attracted to beauty.

Even if it is not for the hallo effect, there are millions of reasons to make your day just by seeing someone adorable. That’s how beauty naturally influences people and gives you precedence, in some (or most) cases.

That said, it is so typical to appreciate others’ beauty and take pride in your own beauty — the outward beauty. It is definitely a huge plus, from a first date to a job interview to a situation when you need help. Beauty implies liveliness and pleasure, and we have no reason to refuse the fact that beauty is powerful.

But ridiculously, some try to find a reason to suspect and devalue the beauty. Odds are, there are still many stereotypes like ‘She is beautiful, and she must need a cash-rich man to afford her cosmetics,’ or ‘She was promoted just because she is beautiful.’ — Beauty arouses incredulity and wrong recognition. Then, those who are considered attractive automatically lose some of their good traits under some circumstances. Prejudice surpasses beauty!

Beauty is powerful — It gives you privileges and costs you privileges.

Redefine the Way to Look Beautiful

I wandered on Google for a while and came across some interesting keywords, i.e how to become beautiful naturally, how to become beautiful without make-up, how to become beautiful inside and out, and many more. It means we are attending to beauty very differently.

As we are hit by glorious photos on Instagram and Facebook day by day thanks to the cosmetics industry and advanced filters, is beauty something easy to attain? And as more and more people seem to be beautiful and attractive, should there be a new approach to make you stand out from the rest?

Are you crazy about beauty tips on how to look naturally beautiful? Yeah, we want to become a better version of ourselves as naturally as possible. But why? Isn’t that to hide the obsession with appearance? It’s okay to find ways to improve your look because you weren’t born with some desirable features on your face. There is nothing to blame for.

The idea of no make-up and beauty from the inside out is as long-lasting as it may sound. Obviously, you couldn’t put on make-up layers 24 hours a day without letting your skin breathe. And if you really need to look gorgeous all day long with heavy make-up without proper skincare, your skin will pay for that.

The essence is to make your face glow by itself. Take care of your skin, make it strong before making it dazzling. When your skin is strong, you will see it naturally glow, and you can enjoy the magic of natural beauty.

That brings back matters of beauty from the inside. Start with an appropriate diet and exercise. It will take some time, but you will be able to maintain your beauty for surprisingly long.

You must be beautiful — To let others know how you appreciate yourself.

Now, when you have the appearance you desire, how can’t you love yourself and be loved? There are still some complications. People say, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” And that’s how you may suffer from wrong recognitions from society for your beauty. The truth is — you are beautiful — but your beauty can’t be admired.

Remember “the beauty lies in the eye of the beholder?” You can always be beautiful, and you should know how to look like an angel in someone’s eyes. You must be the one that makes you beautiful.

It’s kind of funny when my 4-year-old nephew complimented me on my teeth. “You have really nice teeth,” he said, and I couldn’t stop laughing when looking back at his teeth. That’s simple. You’re beautiful for someone and for something unique.

And a secret to that is to build a beautiful image of you to let people know that your inner beauty is beautiful and you are beautiful out and inside. No perfect face can beat time, yet somehow, there are ways to guarantee a forever good appearance.

  • Smile: Even the most beautiful woman can look pretty weird when she smiles. And you can be the most beautiful woman when you smile. Smile when you are happy, confident, and satisfied with your current life. Smile when you fail as you know that have learned something.
  • Be kind: The easiest way to make you beautiful in other people’s eyes is to be kind to them. Good manners can flatter your appearance more than you expect. And when you do something good for someone, don’t you smile?
  • Be you: You are the one that clearly knows your value. There is no need to compare yourself to anyone else. They have their own beauty, and you have yours. A charming smile does not necessarily come from an adorable face, it can spring from a beautiful mind.

To become beautiful, you must believe that you’re beautiful. The beauty naturally lies within you.
