Dove Real Beauty Sketches

So this is a picture of me. This particular blog post is based on this video. It is the Dove Real Beauty sketches. I highly suggest that you watch it, but if you don't have time for that, here is a summary: basically, a forensic artist (never having seen any of these women) draws them based on their descriptions of themselves and each other. So first they go in and describe themselves and then they describe the assigned person they met in the waiting room. These women were so hard on themselves, and so critical that the drawings of the self-descriptions were terrible and very sad looking. On the other hand, the drawings from the descriptions of someone else were beautiful and a whole heck of a lot more accurate to real life. Crazy!

I've never had bad self-esteem and am usually not overly critical of myself, but I figured I would try it - and be as not-negative as possible. So I've included the picture so as to keep myself honest.

1. I have pretty short hair, bob-style that comes down to between my chin and shoulders and has quite a few layers in it. I have bangs that swoop to the right from a part on the left middle. Sometimes the bangs kinda swoop upwards first and then down, and sometimes they swoop right across my forehead...not sure why the difference happens, must depend on the day.
2. My hair is brown but I have found all different colors in it and recently it has this red tint to it that comes out in certain lights. It is pretty smooth and shiny.
3. My eyebrows are relatively big, but not bushy and my eyes squint pretty bad when I smile really big. My eyes are brown and everyone says they sparkle when I smile. My Baba used to say I had "smiling eyes."
4. I wear glasses that have black rims, they are square-ish.
5. I think my nose is normal...it's not really thin or really fat either. My sister says that I flair my nostrils when I talk, but I don't know about that.
6. My teeth are white and straight due to the nice orthodontia work I had done when I was little.
7. My skin is pretty pale and my cheeks slightly rosy.
8. There is this diamond-like crease around my mouth when I smile - I will probably get laugh lines there someday.
9. My lips are light pink and are in the middle as far as shape goes - not super puffy, but not really thin either.

I feel like if someone was drawing a picture of me, that might not be a very good description, but I guess I would need more questions to answer. It's kind of hard to describe yourself completely, I'm sure there are a whole bunch of things that I didn't think of or that my friends would add. Again, I hope you watch the video, and don't be too hard on yourself. Believe them when your friends tell you that you are beautiful - because it's true.
