Do you want to look beautiful even without make-up?
If your mind is pure and virtuous and you display a pleasant demeanor toward everyone, then your facial features will naturally carry the beauty of righteousness. If you overly focus on your outward appearance rather than on your inner beauty and just try to enhance your looks artificially, then, the more you try to beautify yourself, the uglier you will look.

The result of one’s cultivation will be commensurate with the amount of effort one puts in. Without a cause, how could there be an effect? The Law of Cause and Effect won’t shortchange anyone, and nothing comes by luck. All that you need to do to put an end to bad effects is to nourish good causes. One day, you will be able to achieve anything with great ease and attain the Buddha Way.
