I would tell myself that you don't need any makeup to be confident, that I'm beautiful with or without makeup!(:

I would tell myself, "I'm freaking awesome at applying makeup!" since I kept it under 10 minutes to get ready... little did I know, I would learn how to apply it correctly and more detailed, so now it takes me forever because I refuse to leave the house w/o making it "just right"... =(
I now tell myself my new goal is to get it "just right" in under 10 minutes... haha.

I would tell myself not everything will work for you! Just because you see someone else doing it doesn't mean it will look just as good on you. Instead of trying to copy someone else try doing what compliments you and your facial structure!
But even now i still have a lot to learn. I will never stop learning :D

I would have told myself to wear it more often when I was in high school. And also to make an arch in my brows when filling them in. haha. I used to just kind of make a straight line, I looked ridiculous.

If I have to second guess it on myself don't wear it outside. Love what you do and do what you love. Be honest even if it hurts but only if your asked :)

I would tell myself, "Have your brows professionally shaped and You're going be thankful you wore eye cream and SPF". xoxo

Good skin care will benefit you more than too much, too heavy foundation. Address the source, rather than trying to hide the problem.
Stop buying the same thing! 23 shades of the lipstick/gloss only a shade off are so not necessary.. LOL

In order to get excellence you have to invest in it. Do what you love and love what you do.

I'd have to tell myself to get an eye primer! It's made a world of difference in the way my makeup looks and lasts!

I would tell myself to get onto Youtube and watch tutorials for beginner makeup. Don't feel like you need to wear it because other people are wearing it; wear it because you want to. Don't just slap something onto your face. Actually research the products you THINK you need and then decide what would truly be needed for you. Don't let other people break you down and say that your makeup looks weird; to each his own. Practice more and more so you can get better; those negative comments will soon turn into compliments and that will turn in many opportunities to get your name out there. It's all you girl! =) ♥

I wish I'd told myself to do what feels natural and not worry about what anyone else thinks. I always wanted to be bolder and try more- and I should have!

I would tell myself that I dont need to buy everything that I see being used or collected by youtubers.. (i always got sucked into it, I NEED THAT and THAT... and i couldnt afford it all)
That working on my inner beauty is just as important as my outer beauty..
That foundation/makeup is useless if its damaging my skin..
That I should learn to be confident in MY OWN SKIN first before I alter it
