🇬🇧 You can be a (more) beautiful person without (more) cosmetic procedures

You can be a (more) beautiful person without (more) cosmetic procedures. You are probably a beautiful person, but you just don't know how to value your beauty because you are wasting too much time comparing yourself to people who are different from you, as if someone else's beauty makes yours worthless.

I am Nycka Nunes, a visual artist with a focus on photography. I have worked in the fashion industry for over forty years and I have some experience that can help you discover your beauty instead of looking for something to change your appearance. If you are up for the challenge, read this text until the end.

I could talk about my personal experience as a teenager who thought she was ugly and became an adult who is very confident in her own appearance, and the results of my work as a stylist, but I will take another path to make you reflect on your appearance.

It is important that you write down your answers, to generate the desired reflection. You don't have to show them to anyone if you don't want to, but write them down!

Answer each question without reading the following ones. And do not erase or change the answers before finishing the exercise. It's a matter of being honest with yourself to identify the root of the problem.

Start by listing the physical features you don't like, that make you feel insecure.

After that, list the physical features you like about yourself, that you think are beautiful.

Now, for each feature you like about yourself, list 5 celebrities who have that feature naturally. For each feature that can be changed, list 5 other celebrities who have made some change to look like you (that is, to have that feature that you have naturally). For example, I have naturally full lips and nowadays many celebrities, especially women, have lip fillers to try to have that feature.

Now, for each feature you don't like about yourself, list 5 celebrities who have that feature, looking for examples of beautiful celebrities. There are several who have big noses or thin lips, for example, and they are beautiful.

Now, reflect on the features you don't like about yourself. Has anyone criticised you in the past for having this feature? Where did this rejection of this feature come from?

It's a good idea to consider treating characteristics that are related to physical and mental health. Treating characteristics such as acne and obesity, for example, can do you good.

The next step is to learn to value your beauty. Schedule a photo shoot with me to see yourself in a different light. Follow the instructions on the services page.
