true beauty

Society’s view of a beautiful asian: pale, dolly eyed, curly hair, long lashes, luscious lips, double lids, thick eyebrows, and rosy cheeks.When it’s wiped away some are ashamed, some can’t leave without it. But to me: The lipstick, the fake lashes, the face powder, the curling iron, the double eyelid glue, the mascara, the liner, the contacts; swiped off and you are left with you. & you are beautiful with none of it. You are beautiful the way you are. 
This picture speaks to me, deeply.

lashes, luscious lips, double lids, thick eyebrows, and rosy cheeks.

When it's wiped away, some are ashamed. Some can't leave without it. But to me, 
the lipstick, the fake lashes, the face powder, the curling iron, the double eyelid 
glue, the mascara, the liner, the contacts swiped off, and you are left with you. 
And you are beautiful with none of it. You are beautiful the way you are.
