Trends come and go. What was in yesterday is totally out of style the next, and with the rapid growth of the beauty industry, there’s no telling in what may be deemed “beautiful.” But for the past few years or so, the world has been obsessed with trademarking so-called “flaws.” There’s no escaping it, it’s in movies, songs, social media, and advertisements. You may not have noticed it, but it’s condensed into two little words: self-love. I’m both an amateur and a seasoned veteran when it comes to self-love. I mean how can I be spilling words of beauty advice onto paper daily and not believe them myself? But you see before Cara Delevingne walked the runway with her wildly bushy brows or Winnie Harlow inspiring the world with the phrase, “I don’t want to look like you, I’m gorgeous,” there was one face to the word beautiful and I didn’t have it.
