It's hard not to be discouraged when we are our own worst critics. Pangs of doubt are normal. To relate with my starting point, I felt I kind of looked like a young Walter White (Breaking Bad) on steroids...in heels lol.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and every step in the journey is another step of progress toward our goals.

Make-up takes practice...lots! Just like drawing or painting art, no one starts off as Da Vinci. I'll post a few links below that may help.

If you haven't already done so, maybe watch some of the incredible before and after' transformations on YouTube. Next time you're at the mall, gym, pool, or in another high foot traffic area, try sitting back and watching the people...you will find beautiful women come in all shapes and sizes.
