“Be the best without trying to be better than the others.” ⚜️ I loved The Belles, and the complicated relationship between power and beauty. I don’t wear makeup to change myself, but to bring out the things that I like. There’s so much fun in the artistry, and I love seeing what people can do. I’m grateful we live in a world where you can wear makeup or not and still be beautiful, powerful, and whole. We are in this world together. Let’s build each other up, instead of bringing each other down. ⚜️ That’s why you will never see a negative book review on my page. I talk about the things I love and the things that worked for me. Authors pour their hearts and souls into their books. Just because something didn’t work for me doesn’t mean it won’t work for you. And I would never want an author to feel bad. I know the time and effort that goes into writing a book. It’s no small feat. And that should be celebrated, whether I like a book or not. ⚜️ How do you feel about negative reviews? ⚜️ #ocroyals #owlcrate #thebelles #dhonielleclayton #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookish #beautycommunity #lipstick #discoverunder10k #literatureandlipstick https://www.instagram.com/p/BnkafYPFMLm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uvmt9di415nk
