Take a look at your features what is it that you dislike?

Tip: Sometimes you can use your flaws (unless it is a disfiguring flaw) to actually give your’ face a unique charm. How can you do that? By simply accepting your flaw and not thinking about it too much. The trick is in being confident about it, and developing a sense of pride around it. Next you go about doing what you must to accentuate what is positive about your features. And down play the negative feature/ s. Don’t talk about your flaw or flaws to anyone, because when you talk about it you draw attention to that which you wish will go unnoticed. Most people don’t notice your flaws (most people have their own imperfections to deal with anyway, no one is completely perfect. ) when you talk about it, feel self conscious and embarrassed about it -is when people will notice your flaw. Do everything possible to camouflage or correct the imperfection, and then forget about it. Do not ever be embarrassed about your flaws. You are working on improving it and doing everything necessary to treat it or make it fade away.
Tip: Let your ‘flaw’ be your secret. Even develop a sense of humor around it. There are legendary beauties with many flaws and yet they are beautiful in many a beholder. Take for example Barbara Streisand her profile is unflattering and her nose is even worse! And yet she is looked at as one of the most beautiful woman of her time. It’s a perfect example of what a woman can do once she increases her definition of beauty, accepts her flaws lovingly and can even joke about it and knows how to convince herself and thus the rest of the world that she is a beautiful woman regardless.
Be grateful for everything you were born with, look after your face body and spirit, and you will be rewarded for all your efforts. Be grateful for all that you have in your life and make good use of it love yourself and realize how precious you are. Let contentment and well being be part of your existence because it will increase your self esteem and you will begin to feel real ‘Good’ about yourself flaws or no flaws. And when you feel good about yourself you are beautiful
