When you don&#8217;t know your own best, you may copy others thinking you look great. If a girl has spent time knowing she looks amazing with her hands on her hips and then you put your on your hips just to copy her, you might be unknowingly showcasing your worst against her best.

She said <strong>how when you don&#8217;t know the truth, it&#8217;s easy to believe what someone else says about you<\/strong>. She encouraged everyone to know what they are great at, what value they bring, and who they are so that they don&#8217;t start to believe the bullies lies. It&#8217;s true. If you&#8217;re wearing a red dress and someone calls it yellow, you&#8217;re gonna think they&#8217;re crazy. The same should be true of your own self-labels. If you know you are smart, beautiful, and caring then when someone calls you dumb or ugly you&#8217;ll just chalk them up to being crazy and not believe their lie.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/winapageant.com\/103-allyson-rowe-stay-true-faith-pageantry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>[Watch my interview with Allyson here!]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #dd24d0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/realaustinryde\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Austin Ryde, Make-up Artist<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>National make-up artist, <a href=\"mailto:austinryde@live.com\">Austin Ryde<\/a>, suggested the <strong>best place to put your money is in your make-up brushes and your foundation<\/strong>.
