10. Cosmetics enhance you -- you become the best you you can be.

why not look your best ...: natural, fun, but enhanced. We’re not going to lie, that’s what cosmetics do, they enhance your looks. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you can become a more beautiful you. Sasha

9. What you do today will have a direct bearing on what you look like in 5 years.
There are products that really work, changing your skin -- and there are some products that don't do a whole lot, it's only advertising -- and there are products meant only to have a cosmetic effect. Take your pick, but don't forget to include products that work -- from lip gloss to skin care.

8. It's an easy way to pamper yourself. Your skin needs as much pampering as you do. Enjoy taking care of yourself. Take time to let the sensations register. You are being good to yourself.

7. When you look your best, you feel better. When you look your best, even if you're not feeling 100%, you really do feel some better. And unfortunately, the reverse is true too! So do everything you can to have the best day possible. Putting on a good face takes on a double meaning when you are camouflaging.

6. Other people see you. If you won't do it for you, do it for them. Believe me, they do see you, and they talk. Make sure they have something good to say.

5. You look more polished and professional. It levels the playing field and helps you compete. That doesn't mean you have to go all out. If you've never used much makeup, begin small and go from there, but at least do something. A new lipstick or shadow color can update your look giving you a lift.

4. You can be a different you. Everyday can be a new you depending on what you wish to portray about yourself. There's no end to combinations that will bring out your different aspects. You can be the vamp, the ingenue, the career woman. You can be dramatic or natural, colorful or neutral.

3. You can enhance your best features and downplay your negatives. Who doesn't want to do this!

2. You look younger. The only time this doesn't matter is if you are in your 20s. All the rest of your life it makes a difference. Stay current in your thought and in your appearance.

1. It makes you happy. See above, for all the reasons. I can always use more happiness!

Do something fun today with your face.
Try something different. Let me know what you do.

What else can you add?
