Essay by Jillian: Let your natural beauty glow!


Since the ancient times, people have had standards of beauty. Particularly now, in the age of beauty worshipping, a person with outstanding facial features and body shapes will surely get attention from the crowd and win some advantages in the first place. That is why many people use cosmetics, go to the gym or do plastic surgeries and other stuffs to pursue ideals about "a perfect beauty".

Psychologically, we desire to be good-looking because we want to be socially accepted. If someone is not beautiful enough, he or she easily feels insecure and does everything to become prettier. But is that really necessary?

In my opinion, it is good for us to care about our appearance, but if we keep thinking and keep feeling insecure about the way we look, we may be trapped in an obbsessive and vicious circle of self-doubt.

There are many people who have inborn errors in the world, and some of them are famous and talented. For example, Winnie Harlow - an albino girl, is one of the Victoria Secret’s models this year. She used to be ashamed of her patchy skin. However, Winnie went beyond her unlucky fate, looked for new oppotunities, and turned her defect into something that made her unique.

Winnie’s effort is not the only strange case in the current fashion world. There are other talented models with skin diseases, such as Nikia Phoenix and Polly Ellens with their freckled faces, Stephen Thompson - Givenchy’s albino model, and Nastya Kumarova Zhidkova who is named as the most beautiful albino girl. With their confidence, these people became famous because of their unique appearance.

From my point of view, the easiest and most popular solution for women to be prettier is using cosmetics. But it seems to me that many women overuse this method and sometimes, we can not recognize them. The best way of using cosmetics is to make your natural beauty glow, not to hide your face behind a thick makeup mask.

The next popular solution is doing plastic surgery. Many people, including celebrities, love this method without cautious consideration on possible infection during or after operation.

In conclusion, your true beauty is not limited to your look. People can find you attractive because of your charming personality. Not only can you make your own pricetag with a perfect appearance, but you can also glow with your inner beauty.
