We all have insecurities. There are things we wish we could change about ourselves or get rid of completely. Unfortunately, there are some things we just have to learn to live with and hopefully one day embrace about ourselves. In the meantime there are other things we can do to try and accept certain parts of us.

#1 Makeup is a wonderful tool to draw attention to the parts of us that we like and to feel more confident.
Not everyone wears makeup and that's okay. Makeup is a personal preference. Some days I wear more makeup than others. It's just my way of boosting my own confidence and feeling pretty. But when it comes down to it, feeling good about yourself comes from the inside, not what we put on. One woman uses makeup to feel beautiful, but she has also learned to embrace herself the way she is without makeup.
#2 Joanne Tronconi was born with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.
It causes severe swelling on her face and body wherever her birthmark, a port-wine stain, covers. The swelling didn't start until Joanna was 40 when she fell on a patch of ice. She actually didn't even know she had the syndrome until then. Many people stare and comment on Joanne's deformity, so she says she uses makeup to make herself feel beautiful.

#4 Her son, known as Clawdeena on his YouTube channel, begins filling in her brows.
Then he moves on to her eyes and uses peachy tones to give her flawless lids! But we're not done yet!
