BACKSTAGE PASS
Redefining beauty

MANILA, Philippines?Beauty can mean many things to different people. It?s a quality far too broad to have an absolute definition or example. Making yourself beautiful by someone?s set of standards might be counterproductive, as it would not necessarily satisfy everyone.

I?ve found out that the most memorable beautiful women are those who embrace their uniqueness and find their own beauty. They radiate beauty with their generosity, grace and gratitude. Not only that, they?re often the first to celebrate what is beautiful in others.

Cameron Diaz says beauty is ?... a kind of radiance. People who posses a true inner beauty ?their eyes are a little brighter, their skin a little more dewy. They vibrate in a different frequency.?

How should young girls find their own beauty? I think we should teach them to embrace their uniqueness. Being beautiful is all about enhancing what nature gave you.

I spoke to two of today?s most recognizable faces, who are themselves portraits of generosity, grace and gratitude, to find out what beauty means to them. These women truly radiate beauty from any angle.

?Beauty, to me, is something that catches the eye and, more importantly, captures the heart. It?s beauty that comes from within?equals parts confidence, wisdom, compassion, kindness, generosity and whatever other good and positive traits we seek in a person. Only these can truly make a person beautiful. This kind of beauty will definitely capture my heart and will never be forgotten.?

Tweetie de Leon-Gonzales

?Beauty is having the ability to inspire others to be more introspective, to examine how much of themselves they can give in service to others.?

After interviewing these women, I realized that their charm comes from their sense of security, their being in touch with who they are today. And that?s a beautiful thing.
