" &amp;quot;How can I feel self-confident about the way my face looks? I want to look pretty, but I don&amp;#039;t see it now.&amp;quot; \u2014Alesha, 16 Being pretty isn&amp;#039;t only about what&amp;#039;s on the outside. I know it&amp;#039;s the first thing we see when we look in the mirror, but our face also expresses our emotions for us \u2014 our sadness, our joy, our love, and our laughter. You might want to ask yourself what exactly don&amp;#039;t you like. Do you struggle with blemishes? A crooked nose? Bushy brows? Guess what? So do we all. And by &amp;quot;all,&amp;quot; I mean even celebrities and those faces we tend to compare ourselves to in the media.  It sounds like it&amp;#039;s time to discover what you can love about your face now \u2014 do you have sparkly eyes? How about a bunch of cute freckles? Try embracing a few qualities of your face that you like and just know that truly feeling pretty starts from a flutter within and spreads to the outside. Above all else, smile, smile, smile \u2014 a wonderful, authentic smile is really beautiful and inspires others around you!
