Hello Everyone! I thought it fitting that my first blog would be an introduction. My name is Adrian Howe, and I am a Professional Makeup Artist in the Charlotte, NC region.
People ask me how I got interested in cosmetics, and I have hard time answering that question. To be honest, it's something I've always loved doing. All women should have those moments when she looks in the mirror and says, "Wow, I look good!" Yes, you know you've had those moments, and you should be proud of them! Too many women walk past a mirror and only see the bad things, and completely glaze over the unique qualities that make them beautiful! We as women need to learn that having confidence in yourself does not make you concieted! Embrace the fact that you have glowing skin, bright teeth, and shiny hair! Embrace the small freckles on your cheeks, the adorable cupid's bow of your mouth, the tiny lines around your eyes that crinkle when you're happy! They are what make you unique and lovely!
And so, this week, I put out a challenge to all women. Everytime you find something negative about yourself in the mirror, immediately say (out loud!) 3 things you like about yourself. Come on, it's not that hard. I'm sure you can find 3 things you like about the woman you see walking down the street, or 3 things you like about your best friend, or your sister. Why can't you find 3 things you like about yourself?! So for this week, I want you to focus on 3 positive aspects about your appearance, and ignore the negative.
It's time to start thinking positively, and see yourself for the beautiful, strong women you are!
