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.

You can’t eradicate all unwholesome deeds if you don’t uphold the Five Precepts. Your cultivation of myriad practices, let alone becoming a Buddha, won’t be successful if you don’t uphold Bodhisattva Precepts. If you can’t eliminate unwholesome deeds and cultivate good ones, how can you possibly receive the unsurpassed happiness and benefits from the Buddhadharma? You should diligently cultivate your blessings!
