Learn how to hide those awkward features and love yourself!

Everybody has an awkward phase, so why not make the most of it? Have you ever felt ugly, insecure or you just didn't know what too do with yourself? Well your not alone, and luckily there's a way too make the most of this situation.

If you feel that your body is unproportioned in anyway, then you just simply need to learn which type of clothing you should be wearing to suit you and your body, and as Charley says on the new movie (monster in law) "I am making the dress to fit me, not the other way around".

Focus on finding your best feature, and discovering what makes you, well too. For example, if you feel that your legs are too short for your body then you might want to avoid extremely short skirts, for example try a long shirt that hangs just below your knees. Or if you feel that you hips are too large then try something not too tight around the waste. Tight low riding jeans and love handles are something you most definitely want too avoid. Wearing something that is loose around the waste will hide your love handles and make all of the difference in your appearance.
 
Most everybody has some sort of insecurity with there face. A lot involving there nose. If you feel that your nose resembles a stereotypical witches nose (narrow pointy), you should avoid long straight hair cuts,that are parted down the middle. Try peicey bangs (which tend too take attention away from your nose), with some highlights(drawing attention too your eyes). Those of you who feel that your nose bridge is just too wide,try parting your hair off too the side and avoid cutting your hair too short. (As a result of drawing more attention too you nose,and therefore ending badly).

Those of you with other insecurities, need to take action and do something about it. With those things that you can improve, go for it.
As for the things that cant be fixed/changed... you need to STOP focusing so much on, and START focusing more on what you have right in front of you. Find your best features and a way of making them stand out. Do the most with what you have.

Just remember looking just like everybody else isn't always what's best. Madonna doesn't have the stereotypical perfect smile but when she opens her mouth the stage just lights up and she looks gorgeous no matter what. Accept that you are you and that is what makes you so beautiful.

You are beautiful and there is beauty in everyone who believes that they are. Confidence, individuality and self esteem is the main key to beauty and happiness, so once you figure out what is most beautiful about you, embrace it and show it off, share you beauty with the world, and stop hiding your smile behind closed lips,and your personality and talent will always shine threw all of the flaws.
