Do Tell: When Do You Feel the Most Beautiful?

I'm sure we all can be pretty fickle when it comes to the way we feel about ourselves. An entire room full of people could tell us we look stunning, but if we don’t feel like it, no matter what they say, we won’t believe them. Likewise, when we’re at home on a lazy weekend in our frumpiest outfit, we may feel radiantly beautiful — it's really just a state of mind. I happen to feel at my best just after a relaxing day on the beach but ladies, do tell, when do you feel the most beautiful?

    I feel like I look the most beautiful right when I get out of the shower after I've dried off a little.

    I feel beautiful when I'm going to an event and I've actually spent a decent amount of time on my makeup (usually day-to-day I wear minimal if any makeup cuz I'm lazy) Eye-wink

    I also feel beautiful after I've worked out and showered too, muffin! Thanks for reminding me of that one. Nothing better than a post-exercise glow!

    Besides the obvious when I'm dressed up for an event or date night, I feel the most beautiful when I allow my true nature to shine through. When I'm accepting of others and myself, when I'm tender and non judgemental towards others and myself. I used to really struggle with confidence and esteem issues, I've worked very hard in the past year to overcome most of those issues, I'm a work in progress, but I'm working on feeling beautiful more often than not.

    When I've been dress shopping. I feel like a real pretty princess when I try on dresses ... or possibly shoe shopping. My boyfriend finally admitted to liking me in high heels, so whenever I go shoe shopping I feel extra sexy trying on high heels ... even if I don't walk out with them.

    I feel the most beautiful first thing in the morning, when I roll out of bed in just one of my hubbies long tshirts, with messy hair, and no makeup. It feels so natural, and my husband always tells me how pretty I look. Other than that, when I'm dressed up in a cute little dress for a cocktail party

    It really depends on my mood and state of mind...I could spend an hour getting ready and doing my makeup and still feel like I look blah. Or I could throw on any old outfit and hardly any makeup and feel really cute.

    Totally depends on the mood I'm in at the moment.

    I have really really curly and frizzy hair. I always have it up, but when I straighten it I have it down. That instantly makes me feel sexy and cute. My boyfriend loves it down and straight too so knowing he thinks I look good really makes me feel good

    Truthfully, I feel like the most beautiful woman in the world most of the time. As said, it's a state of mind. Also, it helps that I have a hubbie who calls me "Beautiful," "Gorgeous," "Precious," etc. He feeds my state of mind. LOL

    The only time I don't feel beautiful is when I'm sick. Then I feel gross.

    Honestly, I feel beautiful when I'm at peace. I feel 'pretty' when I just got out of the shower and my skin is all shiny and stuff. I feel beautiful when I get all dolled up to go out somewhere, or simply when I put on some makeup (I dont do it everyday). But I feel beautiful all the time. I dont even have to be doing anything. Just relaxing. Sometines I'll just stand in the mirror and stare at myself. Looking a my skin, when its clear, my slightly arched eyebrows, my eyes, and then I smile, and I just feel good. It is a state of mind. But God created me, and ALL of us. We should all feel beautiful, even if for a moment....

    When I am doing yoga. Oh and when I am all dressed up for an event, too. But they are different kinds of beautiful. The first is more an empowering sense of strength and I find the beauty in that. And the second is the more common perception of beauty when our hair and makeup are done and our outfit is killer!

    Post-exercise glow is definitely wonderful. My boyfriend tells me I'm beautiful when I'm lying in bed or after I wake up, just rolling around with my hair all tousled about and I'm in my pj tank and panties. HAHA.

    This may be creepy, but honestly...I feel the most beautiful after I've been sick. The past three weeks, I've caught the flu twice and a stomach bug, so I spent a lot of time throwing up, and having a wall mirror in my room, I got ample opportunity to see myself. My skin is pale, my cheeks are slightly rosy, my lips are bright red and my hair looks jet black and curls around my face. I would NEVER, EVER purge just to look beautiful, but...It does make me look good, even if I'm dying on the inside.

    I feel most beautiful when I'm wearing boy shorts or boxer shorts and my boyfriend's shirt, and we're lounging together. I could have on no makeup and have completely messy hair, when we're relaxed like that together, I feel so beautiful.

    Oh, I know what you're talking about, Silverlining10. I noticed that too when I had the flu. I looked strangely GOOD on the outside (rosy cheeks, red lips, glossy hair, really damn skinny) even though I felt gross inside. Being sick sucks, though, so like you I would also never use that as a beauty boost.

    And another thing that might seem odd? I feel more beautiful wearing my glasses than wearing contacts. I don't know, maybe my face just feels too "bare" without something to frame it nicely.

    It's a small thing, but that moment after you put on a bit of lipstick? That always makes me feel prettier even if I start off feeling not-so-pretty. And if I start off feeling beautiful already... the lipstick still makes it even better. Other than that, how beautiful I feel depends on, yeah, moods and whether my hair is behaving that day. Sometimes dressing up helps, but sometimes it's like "damn, all that effort and this is still looking slightly off somehow".

    When I'm in one of those meditative moods, or helping people, or something like that, it doesn't make me feel especially beautiful. Beauty just kind of cease to matter then.

    I agree with njlove. I feel the most beautiful when I tan because I dont feel that I need as much makeup. I also feel the most beautiful when my hair decides to do the all natural wave without me trying to make it that way. (when I try it always looks uncombed)

    I always feel very beautiful, and lucky to be so Smiling But I feel I have an extra glow when my menstrual cycle is in the right point of time (i.e. when I'm not pms'ing).

    I can feel beautiful any day even if I don't spend time trying. It really depends on my mood. Like other people have said I feel great when I've gotten my hair done and it looks great.
