Welcome To The Beautywell Project
Beauty is that imperfection you have. Knowing that you are unique and beautiful in your own way. Don’t let others define you by their ideal looks, be comfortable in your own body. Self- esteem is liking yourself more than those filtered pictures on Instagram. But when it comes to success, success is liking yourself, liking how you look, and liking what you wear. Bright and dull colors look good on my melanin skin. Proudly a brown skin girl.

Just because my skin is dark doesn’t mean I can’t wear bright colors. Bright green looks amazing on me and I chose it because it creates a representation of beauty for myself and for others too. We all wanna look like those models – but I’m making myself into a model

Hamdi
I chose this color because it makes me look and feel pretty.
Purple is a color that makes whenever I see it.
Some people think that beauty is changing their skin to make it lighter, because when they look at other people, they don’t feel beautiful.
Beauty is who you are and who you are is what makes you beautiful.
Self-esteem is accepting who you are and embracing yourself.
I am beautiful and what makes me beautiful is my skin color.
Hafsa
I chose bright green because it is my favorite color, it is a beautiful color, and it shows my beautiful face.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment
Huda
I choose this color because it is beautiful and reminds me of summer.
I put the extra in extraordinary. I find joy everyday being me. I love this body I am in and would never change who am
for anything.
I choose this color because it is a bold color. I also wanted to step out of comfort zone and try something new. It felt good!
I invented a role for myself. I found a way to take my difference and turn it in to something I use to contribute
Hibo
I love the color grey. Its comforting and I feel beautiful wearing it.
I have struggled for a long time to be comfortable in my skin. Because of the way the world works and the way in which I have been conditioned to hate my skin, I have long accepted the fact that this journey to self-love and self-acceptance is a lifelong one. With this knowledge, I make it a daily mission to remind myself of my beauty (inward and outward) and refuse to accept any outside inventions or definitions of “beauty” to soil the way I view myself. I am drop dead gorgeous. Insanely beautiful. Other-worldly. An ethereal celestial being, if you will. I remind myself of my beauty everyday in a world that takes pleasure in telling me otherwise. This is my daily revolution.
Sumaya
I choose this color because I normally am afraid to wear electric colors. I wanted to remind myself that I can wear colors like this and feel beautiful.
I define my own beauty
