Perhaps when you were a child, you need to ask permission to grown ups if you can do this and that, since you were still young and needs guidance.
But as an adult, though it's true that you need some advice or tips on some problems or decisions in your life, but that's not to say that you should let others run your life for you; you have to live your own life.
Let's see, what are the common scenarios wherein unconsciously, you have to "ask permission"? a) You're forced to follow the crowd--you're too damn afraid of being yourself b) You're waiting for others' validation that indeed, you're also good enough to audition /take classes for that singing/ acting/ programming/ art class.
There are enviable women who look effortlessly good even without makeup on. But there are still the less fortunate ones who really need the wonders of makeup just to look good. But with or without makeup, it's your choice, and it's your face anyway.
I was browsing recently, and I stumbled upon a beauty website and there's a question posted on how to be beautiful without make up on. Okay, now that's a good one--aside from being economical, females these days want to be more natural. Well, maybe she means that she doesn't really want to be totally bare-faced (like going out of your house looking the same way like you just woke up in your bed).
Do you have a feeling that you have low self esteem? Actually, there are 3 faces of low self esteem. See for yourself if you share one of the following traits:
Let's see, are you:
1) The Phony One? From the name itself, the fake one. The Great Pretender. His successful and happy exterior is just a front, a facade to mask his true colors of his fear of failure. These phonies are the ones who are pathetic enough to live their lives in quiet dread that one day they would be "found out". They are the types which needs their self esteem to be validated; they need accomplishments and victories to further hide their feelings of insecurity and self-doubt.
How many times have we been told not to compare ourselves to others? Well, it's a total waste of time and energy to do so. Why not compare yourself to someone you really knew all along...yourself, no less! It's a world of comparisons out there, as they say, and there's simply no thrill watching others live their lives comparing to yours. If you find others prettier than you, you'll only be wrapped up in insecurity and you find ways of keeping up with them. Ditto with finding yourself more attractive than others; you'll feel conceited and vainglorious.
The classy woman...ah, the dream girl most men desire, the envy of other girls. Being classy is not only synonymous to style, elegance and poise, but also about projecting confidence and becoming a woman of substance others will respect.
You don't have to be born with it; to be a classy woman, you can work on it. Yes, it's always never too late! Class transcends age, cultures, lifestyles even social status. You can start now:
It's only natural for women to want to look beautiful, since they (I mean, we, are God's fairest creatures). In your own special ways, you can look beautiful every single day. Notwithstanding age, race, lifestyle or culture, it's every woman's right to feel good about herself.
Here are some tips:
-If you want the feeling of beauty from your waking moment till you retire to sleep, then choose cute pajamas.
-Give yourself ample time (like, 45 minutes) to spoil yourself daily--this is your "Me Time". Tell yourself you deserve it coz rewarding yourself works.
-They say that your hair is your crowning glory, so always take care of it.
Of course, not all of us are born beautiful or photogenic for that matter, but there are still some techniques on how to look good in some pictures.
Here are some researched camera tricks courtesy of becomegorgeous.com.
-Want to appear taller--then stand straight in the picture to highlight your lovely posture. -To avoid getting a double chin, look at the camera and try not to look down. -If picture is being taken from below, to avoid revealing your nostrils (and a double chin), look down and lean your head a little bit. -Want to look slimmer on photos?

As social beings as we are, we all wanted to be interesting to others and to make a good impression on them. That's why here are some tips on how to be more interesting:
Be interesting tip #1: Be interested with other people--yes, what goes around comes around.What you show to others mirror a part of you, so observe them well. Know what makes tick, especially what makes them smile. People naturally gravitate around you if you make them smile and laugh. That's why it's no wonder that if you ask a lot of single people out there what kind of qualities they're looking for in a potential love interest, they will say, "someone with a sense of humor." But be sure your humor is appropriate (and not sordid) to the occasion and your audience--you don't want to offend anyone.
Be interesting tip #2: Expand your general knowledge.
Nobody's perfect, that's true. And it's a world of personalities out there. Of course, it's inevitable to have some individual differences arising here and there. And sometimes, out of these individual differences, we tend to have certain prejudices against others; this is where criticism comes in. It's so easy to criticize if we don't like a person, especially if they're not doing something exactly to our liking, or their lifestyles are exactly opposite ours.
Ask yourself--why do you have to criticize? Is it because you want attention, you're trying to win an argument, or because you're trying to improve someone? Well, if you have to criticize, why not the latter---it's called constructive criticism.
