“Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can’t put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you’re doing it from a position of correction.” ~ Kevyn Aucoin

                   

“The difference between how you look and how you see yourself is enough to kill most people.” ~ Chuck Palahniuk, from Haunted
