Putting on your face everyday

5 July, 2014 By Joy Adan Tagged With: inspiration Leave a Comment

I just adore this “everyday tutorial video” by Anna Akana – she is hilarious, gorgeous and speaks such a powerful truth that how you put on your make up or the products you choose are largely irrelevant if you don’t care about what’s underneath or inside the thing they all sit on.

I especially love her brief spiel on kindness. We all need it and the world would be such a great place with more of it. But beware the people who pack on ‘kindness’ and misjudge it to be of the utmost importance. Kindness, when driven by the recognition of dignity in every human being, is a beautiful thing. Kindness for kindness’ sake is the thing that drives the world to be way too PC and can actually do more damage than good in the long term.

What’s the most important thing you “put on your face” every morning?
