What qualities must a beauty queen have?

How important is beauty really? A lot of us lay so much emphasis on outer beauty, on the colour of skin, the hair, features etc, while we don't appreciate the beauty within. True, it is great to look good. It raises your confidence level, and makes you feel better about yourself, but how good do you really need to look for this? I know models who are incredibly insecure about their looks, though they have beauty most of us would die for.


Remember, no matter how good you look, there will always be someone better looking. But your nature, your characteristics, your quirks and your personality these, not your face, are what make you the special person you are. Good looks can only take you so far. A man may be incredibly handsome, but if he doesn't have good manners, and if he doesn't know how to make a woman feel special, he is not going to keep you very happy, and the same goes for women. All that really matters are the nature and personality of a person. Beauty will not last forever, but attitude will, so what you lack in beauty, make up for in attitude, and you're going to do just fine.


Look your best

At times when a woman is in the presence of another really beautiful women, she tends to feel overwhelmed by her beauty and starts feeling insecure about her own looks. Your hands rush up to straighten your hair, you pat your clothes into place, and you wish you had taken more time in front of the mirror. So take time out every morning to look as good as you possibly can, and then, stop thinking about it. Remember, there will always be someone better looking, so don't let another woman make you feel ugly.


Compliment others often

Compliment a friend, acquaintance or a colleague if she is looking especially nice, or if she is wearing something you like. Stopping yourself from passing a compliment only feeds your own insecurity.


Make a conscious effort to avoid envy

If a close friend is nicer looking than you are, you may tend to harbour resentment towards her, and in the process, distance her from certain aspects of your life. Prettier women are not necessarily happier women. Everyone has their highs and lows. Your friend may be prettier, but you may be in a very satisfying relationship or you may have more loving siblings. As I said before, beauty will fade. 30 years down the line none of this will matter. What will matter are the relationships you have formed in the present.


And finally

Dress well. This is more important than having a pretty face. Wear clothes that suit you, that are trendy, and that fit you well. A great outfit will make you feel great about yourself. The way you dress also speaks a lot for your personality. If you are a sharp dresser, it doesn't matter whether or not you have the most beautiful face, you will get noticed anyhow. Exercise, so your body is in great shape. Wax regularly, and make sure you always look neat and clean. Don't forget the antiperspirant!
