Beauty Makeover Tips

Looking good, girl but have you looked beyond the mirror? 

Oh yeah, it’s time for a beauty makeover!

Of course, makeup, hair and nails are a part of a woman’s beauty but none are essential to her beauty.  

Most likely when you think of beauty tips, you think of these things, but for the Christian single woman I endeavor to go deeper.

Beauty makeover tips are plentiful, but most seem to be focused only on outer beauty. However, outer beauty becomes meaningless if your inner beauty is flawed.

If you're looking for true beauty makeover tips, look no further! Here are a few beauty makeover tips that are GUARANTEED to enhance any woman’s beauty (and you don’t need to know how to apply makeup to use them).

Beauty Makeover Tip # 1: Purify Your Heart

The primary aspect of a Christian woman’s beauty is a heart that loves Jesus. We must not only love Jesus but choose to give our hearts to Him and to live totally for Him.

So often we give our heart to people who don’t know how to handle it appropriately, but God wants us to trust Him with our heart and to be pure in heart. To be pure in heart is to have a singular focus on Christ. We can do this by committing to do His will and removing anything that separates us from Him.

Doing the will of God starts with prayer and studying the Bible (God’s will is His Word). Removal of things that separate you from Christ may require you to stand alone in the flesh, but you must know that you are never alone in Christ. The Holy Spirit lives in you at all times. We must decide we are going to live for God no matter what. Read Daniel chapters one and six for encouragement in this area.

When (not if) we mess up as we’re seeking to be a woman after God’s heart, we can take a cue from David and ask for forgiveness (Psalm 51). Forgiveness is another way by which we purify our hearts.

We all have sinned, but God has promised to forgive us of our sins if we confess them (I John 1:9). We must trust that God honors His Word and forgives, but we must also forgive others as well as ourselves.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” - Matthew 5:8 NKJV

Beauty Makeover Tip # 2: Consider Your Thoughts

Do you ever think about what you think about? Our thought life can get us into to trouble. I’m sure none of us would like all of our innermost thoughts to be displayed on a big screen for all to see. Truth is, the Bible says “for as a man thinks in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7).

Joyce Meyer in her best-selling book, Battlefield of the Mind accurately shares how there is a war going on in your head. She shares how to overcome the negative thoughts that so easily robs us of our joy and peace.

She highlights how to find peace over current negative mental activity, how to see truth by thinking correctly, how to use spiritual weapons effectively and how to overcome mentalities that hold us in harmful situations.

Sin begins with our thoughts, so conquer your thoughts by meditating on the Word of God. God would never ask us to do anything, He would not also enable us to do.

“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus” - Philippians 2:5 NKJV

“casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” - Corinthians 10:5 NKJV

So bring your thoughts into the captivity of Jesus Christ as the Word says. By His power you will be able to do it.

The old adage is true, we must watch our thoughts because our thoughts become our words and actions.

Beauty Makeover Tip # 3: Speak Life

While it’s true beauty is only skin deep, it’s even truer that our words cut deeper. As Christian women, we must learn to speak words that edify (build up) others, not tear them down. If our heart loves Jesus, how can we speak negativity against His creation (others)?

James tells us the tongue is a powerful member that no one can tame, so we must pray and ask God to guard our tongue (James 3). Just as both fresh and salt water does not flow from the same opening, James warns neither shall our mouths speak both blessings unto God and curse men.

"… For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” Matt 12:34 NKJV

Beauty Makeover Tip # 4: Check Your Attitude

Remember the old saying, your attitude determines your altitude? Well it’s true, attitude is everything because it drives your behavior. The following quote by Chuck Swindoll accurately illustrates this fact.

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.

It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

You can’t control the actions of anyone else, but you can control your attitude in response to others' actions. Identify those things that cause you to have a bad attitude and pray about adjusting your attitude when you encounter those things in the future. Ask God to help you have an attitude that pleases Him.

Beauty Makeover Tip #5: Smile

Have you ever noticed that a smile is universal? No matter what language a person speaks, everyone understands a smile. It requires absolutely no interpretation. A smile begets a smile. Don’t believe me, just try it.

Although quite simple, a smile has a powerful impact. A smile conveys happiness or joy or even welcome. It’s hard to believe such a small action could have such a big impact. Someone sent me an email once that said "don’t frown because you never know who’s falling in love with your smile." What a great thought.

Just think your smile could be the very thing that makes someone else’s day. It costs you nothing, but it gives so much to others. So go ahead, SMILE!

You are beautiful because you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), but these beauty makeover tips are sure to greatly enhance your beauty from the inside out.

“Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.” - 1 Peter 3:3-4 NLT
