Confidence 101: No Makeup, No Worries

Demi Lovato 

I believe that being able to go out without any makeup is a key to confidence. It shows that your proud of your natural beauty and know how to embrace it. Plus, even if your the biggest makeup lover your skin needs time to breath and refresh itself which means a day or so without makeup. Also, since it's gradually becoming warmer it's time to slow down on the foundation and other products that will sweat off and go for more natural looks. However, don't take me to literally, I do mean to at least brush/comb your hair and keep your face washed! I challenge my readers to pick one day out of the week to go completely natural and embrace it! (I usually go au naturale on Wednesday just because it's the middle of the week)

How long can you go without makeup?

Confidence 101: No Comparison

Joan Smalls

So the Victoria Secret fashion show was last night so of course there were many tweet pics and Instagram shots of all the angels. I love looking at the bedazzled bras, jeweled panties, luxurious hair and make-up, but it kills me to see all the comments about not being nearly as pretty as the models. It's not just last night that I noticed this reoccurring issue, but I constantly see photos of celebrities with captions about never being able to look as good or even saying how it makes them feel ugly. Now of course celebs are pretty, I happen to think Joan Smalls is drop dead gorgeous, but it shouldn't make your feel down on yourself because your pretty too. Each and everyone of us has at least one unique thing about us that no one else does which means we have to stop comparing our appearances, personalities, skills, and everything else to other people. Comparing kills your own self-esteem and confidence, own what you have and work it. Trust me you will start to feel so much more self-confidence and stop worrying about what you don't have and others do.

What's unique about yourself and how do you rock it? Let me know in the comments below!



Confidence 101: Be Daring



Heidi Klum and Seal

Okay so you you may already know who this is or read the caption, but this is Heidi Klum and Seal... as crows. Halloween, fall festivals, and the entire month of October is about dressing up and completely embracing the theme of fall and dress up. Instead of playing it safe or going the sexy route, be daring and take it all the way with a totally unique idea! Now, you don't need to dress up as a crow, but try going outside your box and stepping out of your comfort zone. If you don't celebrate Halloween, try something new with your everyday fashion since everyone is dressing up anyways! Be daring this October and boost up your confidence.

Confidence Booster: Speak Up

Brittney Spears

Confidence comes from so many places and voicing your opinion is one of them.  I can personally tell you that no matter how cute your outfit is, how smart you are, or how friendly you have to speak up for anyone to notice you. For example, Brittney Spears looks so confident on the USA X-Factor when she is telling her opinion and the truth. I'm not saying to become the loudest and craziest person in the room, but instead of letting everyone else have their say or never getting a chance to show what you really want, try speaking up! Speaking up will definitely boost your confidence even if no one takes your advice, but either way your voice will be heard.

Remember fashion and beauty is nothing without a does of confidence

Confidence 101: Embrace Your Features

Tyra Banks

I, like Tyra Banks, have a fie finger forehead along with a curvy backside. Most people would think those to features are features that I would try to cover up, but I don't because I choose to embrace them. Tyra Banks shows off how she embraces her forehead by place a fabulously big bun right beside it. Everyone one of your features such as big eyes, small lips, a fuller nose, toned legs make us unique. Showing off your features shows your confidence, but don't take "showing off" too literally, you should still keep it classy! Keep reading to find out how to show off some of your features.

• If your legs are a top feature of yours, try wearing wedges to make them appear more tone or match the color of your shoes with your pants to make your legs look longer.
• If you love your face, pull your hair back into a ponytail or updo and show it off!
• If you love your waist, try a peplum top or high-waisted bottoms.
• If you love your eyes, try accentuating them with a few coats of mascara or try out winged liner.
• If you love your butt, try out colorful jeans and if your butt is smaller try jeans with special details on the pockets.
