Look Good, Feel Good
Yet, for many people, wearing a bit of makeup can also be a huge self-confidence booster. This woman said that putting more effort into her appearance made people see her as a brighter, more interesting person. She writes, "One day, to feel better and take myself out of mild depression, I decided to start taking better care of myself and bought better fitting clothes, starting wearing basic makeup [sic]. I felt that if there were things happening in my life out of my control, I have control over my body and appearance. And I heard that if you look good, you feel good." Well said, sister!
