How to be beautiful and effortless (Part 2)

It's a sugar-coated poison

The thing is, I was nervous and looking forward to taking a graduation photo a while ago. Graduation photos, of course, I hope that the moment when the shutter is pressed, I will retain a beautiful life. Draw the point! It is beautiful, if it is not beautiful, it is a proper black history. In order to look good on the mirror, I crammed a few days before the shooting, and followed the major beauty bloggers: they painted and painted on their faces. Thanks to my dexterous hands and amazing learning ability (shameless), the photo is very beautiful, the sun is bright and sunny, the classmates are smiling, I am extraordinarily beautiful, and everyone's youthful vitality is just right by the shutter. captured.

I'm not bluffing. In the photo, my eyes are really more than 1.5 times larger, with white teeth, red lips, and a bright smile. From that day on, before I go out, I always paint my eyebrows, eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick, nose shadow, and brush my eyelashes. Makeup beauty comes at a price, of course, that is, you need to carefully remove makeup, wipe off the powder on the eyebrows, eyelids, nose, and remove the black colloid that tightly wraps the eyelashes. Residues are cleaned up. At this stage I was immersed in the beauty, satisfaction and pleasure that makeup brought to me, and even though it was short-lived, one-off, and troublesome, I still enjoyed it.

But I gradually feel that this beauty method is completely exhausting for me, because in just a few days, I have become a faithful slave to cosmetics. When I have time, I watch makeup-related videos, when I have time, I wash my face and apply makeup. Later, I even have no time to do makeup. At this stage, makeup is not just a beauty tool for me, it has become the master that enslaves me. Find a way to take the time to put on makeup, and then remove it; become beautiful, and then change back to the way it was. This cycle makes me feel more and more empty, and the time spent on makeup is like being wiped off along with makeup removal. It took a lot of time and thought, and in the end, it was like a circle, back to the original starting point. And my heart was hollowed out piece by piece along with the circle.

I think it's time to wake up and save yourself.

Just spit out the sugar

We may be attracted to a beautiful skin first, but in the end we will end up with an interesting soul.

I think what I need to do now is to enrich my core, otherwise, no matter how well-painted the makeup is, it will just be an inferior soul wrapped in a gorgeous skin. When the heart is rich and the conversation is natural and interesting, everyone will naturally be attracted by your charm. Such charm will not exist with makeup; it will not disappear due to makeup removal.

This is like a player (handsome guy) on the basketball court. What attracts us is not the brand-new pair of sneakers on his feet or the expensive jersey he wears. What attracts us is precisely his superb skills, whether it is agile to break through the enemy. Fang defense, flexible ball control, precise and agile dribbling and layup. The handsome jersey and the superb skills require more effort, but that is the more dazzling light and the undefeated king's spirit, and this is what attracts me.

What I should do now is to put down the brush, stop those scribbling and painting movements, and look back and observe my heart. What am I really missing is a beautiful and attractive skin? Or a fascinating personality trait? ?

give yourself something good to eat

Let me start exercising, it will make my metabolism speed up and my skin look better; I will read more books, it will allow me to absorb all kinds of knowledge; I am interested in skateboarding, so why not buy one and play. When we are busy improving ourselves, we have no time to care about our appearance, and when we stop caring about "beauty", we are really beautiful.

At this time, I have to mention a high-connotation beauty of the Republic of China-Lin Huiyin, he once said such a sentence

"What beauty is not beautiful, as if a woman has nothing to do but beauty, as if she is only a decoration."

Afterword

(Additionally, it’s not that makeup is bad and shouldn’t be done. But in my current situation, makeup has begun to eat me up, because my excessive obsession and reliance have indeed become a problem. That's a bad thing. But if it's a simple touch-up, or make-up that does more harm than good, it shouldn't be a big deal)
