The Best Accessory: A Smile

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

In a society where we are constantly exposed to perfectly poised Instagrams and glossy magazine covers, it can be difficult to remember that natural beauty is best. While cosmetics can liven up any look and are important in maintaining a healthy complexion, a smile is something that instantly brightens one’s face.

Smiling not only makes you feel happier and more positive, but it also affects the people around you. Instead of staring at your phone as you walk across campus, smile at those you pass—smile at the person who holds the door for you or the person who compliments your outfit.

As busy, focused college students, we often find ourselves wrapped up in our schedules and assignments. But, something as small as a smile can turn our days around. A smile boosts our moods and helps us appreciate those around us, all of which can lead to a more positive outlook on life.

So, the next time you splurge on a lipstick or eye shadow palette, add a smile. People won’t always remember your winged liner or bold red lipstick, but they’ll be sure to remember your smile!
