76 Makeup and Skincare Quotes every Beauty Lover Should Know
As beauty lovers, we use products to express ourselves, pull ourselves up when we are down and highlight what we already love about ourselves. We also use our beauty as a message about strength, love and power.
These 76 makeup, skincare and beauty quotes were carefully crafted to speak to that message.
Never think of beauty as frivolous and non-important, beauty means whatever you want it to.
Most importantly, beauty means you, with or without makeup, scars, flaws and all.
Beauty Quotes are Important?
Every beauty lover remembers when they fell in love with makeup.
For some it’s a memory of their mother, for others it was their rebellious youth. Makeup is, and will always be expression, art, and symbolic of a moment in time.
As we continue to craft outside beauty, don’t forget the life long journey towards inner beauty and self-acceptance.
They can and should co-exist.
Even when you don’t feel your most beautiful on the outside, feeling your inner beauty will carry you through the day.
So, here’s to feeling beautiful today and everyday.
