Kandee Johnson has a range of encouraging videos. I cant give you a fantastic speech on this topic as I still struggle with it myself. Best thing to do is stand up for what you believe in. And if that happens to be makeup, so be it. Let people deal with that ha! Sorry that probably wasn't much help but ah... That's all I got ha.

Hey Emu, don't get discouraged when you see those really nice looking models at the magazines. I swear they're photoshopped. Believe me, I'm an art director and I know how those stuff works. Here's an example: I hope you know Emma Stone because she's got tons of freckles. I saw this month's Vogue cover and saw that all of her freckles are gone! I could clearly see how they edited the video because she looks like a plastic doll. She still rocks in Spiderman though, lol!

The first step to stop being insecure is to stop comparing yourself with other people. I know it's hard at first but you'll find it easier as time goes by. Sure makeup can help you become prettier but it's not everything. Honestly, I asked my boyfriend if he notices anything different before and after I put on makeup and he said all he notices is my skin is smoother, lol. I'm sure telling you "It's all about personality and not the looks" is kinda overrated but you need to appreciate yourself first before anything else.

As for the guys liking your friends, they're just being guys. It's really rare to find a guy who appreciates your bubbly personality over looks. They will always see the pretty face before knowing the person. Why else would they always say after a breakup "She's crazy, that's why I broke up with her."? Trust me, you'll find a guy who appreciates you from head to toe. :)

Thank you soo much I appreciate that coming from a nice and caring person like you.:) Okay so my close friend is pretty and she always puts herself down even if everytime I tell her shes pretty and give her a confidence booster but she always denies it when she hears it i just don't know what to do for her. Help plz.

I'm sure she's pretty but you'll never be able to convince her that she is unless she steps out of that state of mind. All you can do right now is support her and be there for her. Media doesn't help either, sadly. :( Maybe have a DIY spa date or anything that both of you would enjoy. Seriously, I swear if it weren't for all those magazines and news I'm sure the average teenage girl wouldn't feel the pressure of being prettier than everyone else.

Well, it varies. And I don't wanna judge since I don't know her personally. There are people who just have low self-esteem and those who constantly tell everyone something negative about themselves so that people would tell them the exact opposite. You know, like those cheerleaders in the movies. Maybe their parents didn't really pay attention to them when they were little, that's why she's acting out.

Just a quick tip to getting more secure about yourself: I've noticed that when I'm feeling insecure, I start getting depressed. The best way I've found to give myself a quick pick me up is music. Put on some songs that are all about how fabulous you are. My personal favorites for this are Diva - Beyonce, Pretty Girl Rock - Keri Hilson, and Miss Independent - Neyo. Just play those songs and let yourself relax and become them. Become that diva, pretty, independent woman. Because you are.

You're fabulous, so don't you go letting anyone else make you feel like you aren't.
