You are Beautiful

As ladies, we struggle with these word alot "Beauty" trying as much possible to please men (husbands, boyfriend, suitors). Many of us dress to satisfy others, while some of us dress to please ourselves. As for single ladies, they dress to gain attention from men or suitors while those that are married or engaged dress to please their partners, so they can appreciate them and tell them they are beautiful.
Many of these ladies have gone extreme in their way of appearance, you see ladies exposing their bodies all in the name of fashion, while trying to gain attention, we have allowed ourselves to be influenced negatively. Peer pressure is one, following bad friends that will influence your way of dressing, manner of speaking and others. Some are influenced through civilization or society, if you grow up in a city, then you will understand what I am talking about, you see alot of people in different forms of appearance, "runs girls" "slayers" "yahoo boys babes" and others, then you are thrown in between good and evil. It takes focus and discipline to avoid these act of indecency.
While trying to get attention from others, ladies have gone too extreme, many even turn this whole thing into competition, you want them to know you are more beautiful than your friends, or while trying to snatch your friends boyfriend and many others like that. Many cannot do without make-ups while going out, those without make-ups go about covering faces (nose masks is very effective nowadays)
What do I see this as?
Fear and Timidity
The first thing to know as a lady is that you should dress to please yourself. You don't follow what's trending, or what others are doing at your inconvenience and you feel you will be acceptable when you do that. Dress comfortable and confidently and follow your choice. You don't have to put anybody's choice above yours, if they really likes you, they will accept you as you are.
Natural Beauty
I believe all ladies are naturally endowed with beauty, make-ups is just additional and it shouldn't become regular, some do not use it not because they feel arrogant or whatsoever including myself, and not because it's forbidden for us to use it. For once, go out confidently and let people see the natural goodness God has given you. If you are always the type that expose your body when it comes to dressing, refrain from doing that, if a guy keeps telling you that you are gorgeous in your "half naked outfit" then he doesn't like you. If he likes you, then he will correct your manner of dressing.(with love)
Inside Beauty
I find it funny when people get deceived by the outward appearance, whereas things are not the same inside. You are a type that judge ladies by their outward appearance be it looks, size or shape, there is a whole lot of beauty inside her heart than the outside. Take a look at her behavior, dealings and attitude first before you judge. Then you will discover that she is really beautiful inside and outside.
In Conclusion
Beauty does not come with excess make ups or overdressing, it comes with being the real you. Our dressing and appearance matters alot. Are you scared or still struggling with this, then take a look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself "I am beautiful".
It's okay to apply make ups, I am not condeming that, but do not obsess over it
Also, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, for the fact that someone told you, that you are not beautiful doesn't mean you are not beautiful, he is just not the right person for you, there will always be someone that will notice your beauty one day.
