Gabourey Sidibe Quotes

Maybe you just don't see your own beauty.

If you allow yourself to feel fabulous, you are fabulous.

I think what makes a woman naturally more beautiful is when she starts believing in herself and starts getting more confident because you can have the most expensive makeup, you can get a lot of services done, but if deep inside you're still not happy and confident, that's going to show.

The power of makeup is incredible, but the power of you is cray cray.

Beauty has so many forms, and I think the most beautiful thing is confidence and loving yourself.

Confidence comes from within and as long as you are putting forth a respectable effort to take good care of yourself, you should feel confident about that path.

Standards are a little crazy these days. I think that, when you go to sleep, as long as you're happy with the way you are and the way you look, that's the most important thing.

As long as you smile, have sparkly eyes and stick your shoulders back, nobody's going to notice your bum or your waist or your feet, for that matter.
