This post is all about affirmations for beauty.
What happens when you don’t feel beautiful?
Do you find yourself saying (or thinking) things like “Nothing looks good on me” or “I will look so much better if I lose weight” or “My hair/skin/face isn’t as nice as hers“?
It’s time to realize that these over-critical thoughts are not helping you become more attractive.
You see…. what you think and say about your appearance actually affects your body image and beauty.
In this post, I will be sharing affirmations for beauty to help you get rid of a negative self image and grow a healthy self-outlook.
What You Need to Know About Physical Beauty and Appearance Affirmations
Have you ever noticed that when you feel low on self esteem, you tend to hunch over, avoid eye contact and/or choose clothes that hide your body? I’ve noticed that I do that.
I am also less likely to enhance my best attributes because I have this thought of “it won’t help anyways”.
So, just by thinking that I don’t look beautiful, I find myself doing things that make me less attractive. (Self-fulfilling prophecy!)
What you need to know is that you are already beautiful, without qualifiers and without exception.
Because of that, these appearance affirmations are not meant to change your physical features, they are to help you accept, appreciate and enhance the beauty that you already possess.
How the Law of Attraction Can Attract Beauty
Consistent with the law of attraction, affirmations for beauty are to attract the feelings of beauty that you seek.
Whether you realize it or not, you are always having a conversation with yourself and this is known as “Self Talk”.
Your self talk determines how you view yourself which then determines your everyday decisions and direction. I love the way that NPR describes self talk as “internal remodeling”.
To attract beauty into your life and get rid of ugly thoughts, get into the habit of speaking/thinking positive statements, especially ones that start with “I AM”.
“I Am” Beautiful Self Talk Tips
Many people see Lizzo as a beacon of self love and acceptance. Well, do you wonder how she got there? Lizzo uses positive self talk to accept her body, specifically her belly, and skyrocket her self esteem.
If done correctly, positive self-speak can transform you too.
Here are 4 tips to reconstruct your self talk today:
- Start to notice what you are saying to yourself
What do you say when you don’t feel pretty or when a pimple pops up overnight or when you see someone whose looks may intimidate you. Do you speak to yourself from a place of abundance or do you criticize yourself? - Practice your Mirror Work
Mirror work is positive self talk that is done while looking at yourself in the mirror. It is meant to expose and counteract your inner critic while forming an intimate and compassionate relationship with your inner self. - Talk to yourself in a comfortable environment
Changing your self talk can be uncomfortable, especially when you are just starting out. Make sure that you create a relaxing environment that makes it easy for you to speak and believe these words. - Use targeted statements
Use “I AM” statements that are targeted toward the areas that you find most difficult to love. For me, I use fertility affirmations because I struggle with appreciating my body after pregnancy loss. You may choose to focus on job affirmations or even attracting the love of someone special, for example.

For Beautiful Skin
This section is personal to me. For as long as I can remember, I have been insecure about my skin- my large pores, hyperpigmentation and the fact that it is acne-prone. Well you know what? The last 20-something years of talking down my skin hasn’t done anything to change it. And so I am learning to focus on accepting, loving and nurturing my skin instead. These affirmations for clear skin do just that.
- I enjoy taking care of my skin
- I love my beautiful complexion

For Physical Appearance: Smile, Face, and Eyes
These affirmations for beautiful eyes, face and smile are to help you stop feeling self conscious about your physical features. Affirmations for attractiveness work best when you target the features that you are most insecure about.
- My smile is radiant and reflects my inner beauty
- The more I smile, the more beautiful I look

- My smile shows that I am happy and bubbly

For Body Image
Body image is how you see yourself when you picture you in your mind. Body image affirmations are important because if you have a poor body image, you will make poor choices when it comes to your health and taking care of yourself. Having an elevated view of your beautiful body, on the other hand, will lead you to cherish it and take care of it.

A Collection of Beauty Quotes & Sayings to Inspire You
While an affirmation is a simple, declarative statement in the present tense, quotes are much more flexible. Quotes are opinions or statements that have already been said by someone else. They can be presented in any tense and can be of any length.
Sometimes you need a good quote that represents how you feel. These quotes about beauty can be used for inspiration, for your social media or for any purpose really.
- “Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful“.
– Sophia Loren - “True beauty is when someone radiates that they like themselves.”
– Aimee Mullins - “Happy girls are the prettiest“
– Audrey Hepburn - “If you’re pretty, you’re pretty. But the only way to be beautiful is to be loving. Otherwise, it’s just ‘congratulations about your face’”
– John Mayer - “To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don’t try to be a magnolia flower. If you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself“.
– Thich Nhat Hanh - “That’s always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they’re pretty. It’s like picking your breakfast cereals based on color instead of taste“.
– John Green - “Beauty is not caused. It is.”
– Emily Dickinson - “Take care of your inner spiritual beauty. That will reflect in your face.”
– Dolores del Rio - “There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in the proportion.”
– Edgar Allan Poe - “Outer beauty is a gift, inner beauty is an accomplishment“
– Randy G. Fine
How to Practice Positive Beauty Affirmations to Feel Attractive
How many affirmations you should say per day depends on how many you need to hear to transform your mindset.
Go through the lists above and write down the affirmations that are most closely related to your insecurities. Then, start with saying those every day.
Some people choose to say affirmations once daily, others choose to say them 3 times a day or just whenever they remember.
I believe that you will figure out what fits your unique need.
And if you need more help in this area, I recommend that you read positive affirmations to say every day.
Do Beauty Affirmations Really Work?
Think of beauty manifestation affirmations as an internal detox. You are flushing out the bad thoughts about your appearance and filling up on positive thoughts about your self image instead.
Can Affirmations Change Your Appearance or Make You Beautiful?
There is a quote that says “beauty starts in your head, not in the mirror“.
These physical appearance affirmations won’t move or change your physical features. But they will make you happier with your appearance. And the happier you are, the more beautiful you are.
These are the best affirmations for beauty to assist you on your journey to a healthy self image.
And remember… YOU ARE ALREADY BEAUTIFUL!!
