In the wonderful words of Coco Chanel, "Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself,".
That being said, everyone has their own way of developing confidence and self-esteem. For some people it's painting your face in layers of foundation, powder, eyeshadow, mascara, and etc. While for others it's leaving your eyes and lips nude and letting your natural freckles pop.
Whether you're glow is au naturale or from a shiny Tarte pallete, just do whatever makes you feel like you could rule the world. Don't feel like you have to hide behind your makeup and clothes: wear what you wear to boost your confidence, to raise your own self-worth.
Don't let people tell you how much or how little makeup you should wear. It's your face, your body, not theirs. Don't worry about what others think: dress to impress you and you only.
So go out there, ignore the haters, and rock whatever look you've got going.
