Which statements do you believe in?

Some people believe that beauty starts from the outside and leads to the inside. Others believe that it starts from the inside and leads to the outside. I personally believe that a beautiful person is someone who has a beautiful heart and it shines through on the outside. 

You can have the prettiest appearance on earth but what does all that means without a good heart? The pleasant appearance will not change the fact that some people might be uncomfortable and feeling unpleasant being around you. 

I just recently started this blog and I feel so thrilled to share my journey with all of you. My name is Jesika and I have a big passion for beauty. I started my journey as a self- thought aspiring Makeup Artist when I was 14 Years Old. By the time I reached 19, I realized my potential and decided to pursue my hobby and that was when I took a course in Makeup.

During that period, my skin was in a horrible condition. I suffered from a disease that required me to be injected with synthetic hormone for a good 2 years. My skin broke out so badly. It was so terrible that all the scars were pitted. What hurts me the most is, I could not consume any medicine for my acne as it could cause complications. Therefore, all I did was just taking care of it on the surface, applying different creams for the acne.

You can imagine how hard it was for me to go out there, do makeup for models and looking nasty with all my big pimples and daunting pitted scars. However, it all didn't stop there. I started to learn more about my skin and tried to learn to love myself despite the skin condition.

Without any doubt, it’s easy to conceal those pimples and scars pretty well with makeup, but I preferred to kill it all from the source. I started to eat healthier, tried different solutions and have a healthy lifestyle in general. I admit that it was tough, but well worth the effort. 

I really love my job as a Makeup Artist because I can make women feel their prettiest. Also, meeting new awesome people is always a plus. 

However, throughout my journey, I realized that lots of women out there forget the true value of themselves. Some of them do not feel confident about their appearance, even though, I believe to most people, they are considered as good- looking women. The whole focus was centered on the appearance rather than their great personality and achievements. This world is now focusing more on the outside and these women are trapped in their own world, thinking that their appearance is not as great as others. The way I see it, it looks more like a competition.

But really, everyone was born differently. You might not have the best looking skin, but surely you have other features that set you apart from the others. No one is perfect. Trying to perfect yourself is a never ending task. Your perception of a perfect appearance will surely be different from the others.

Let me show you an example, as you probably know by now, I do not have the best looking skin. But you know what; I’m rocking it and I love myself so much because I know that I have a really nice set of eyes. And even if I do not have those eyes, at least I know that I have a heart that is fearful of hurting others. And yes, personality matters.

I started this blog to inspire everyone that beauty on the outside is not everything. Start from the inside, beautify your personality, and realize your true potential and you can surely see the difference. You are beautiful for who you are.

I will be sharing beauty looks, product reviews, tips on makeup and it goes without saying, a motivational article that hopefully can change the way we perceive ourselves. 

For now, let us all list all the good stuff about ourselves. What do you like about yourself in terms of appearance and personality? What makes you a unique individual in terms of your personality?

Much Love,

Jesika
