Quote Of The Day By Beyoncé: 'You Can Change Your Whole Attitude By Just Doing...'

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is one of the world's biggest stars. She has received more Grammy awards than any other artist, not to mention smashed records at the BET Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, NAACP Image Awards, and Soul Train Music Awards. Beyoncé has been in the spotlight since she was a pre-teen; she was born in Houston, Texas, in 1981 to parents Tina and Mathew Knowles, who both wholeheartedly supported her musical ambitions from a young age. The singer formed the girl group Destiny's Child with friends Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams at just age 9. While the group went on to lose the grand prize on "Star Search," a talent competition show that was host to many celebrities before fame, Destiny's Child wound up getting a recording contract with Columbia a few years later.

They were incredibly successful, winning two Grammys and reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. After the group dissolved, Beyoncé released her iconic solo album "Dangerously in Love" in 2003, which skyrocketed her to prominence. Her career certainly didn't slow down there. In the decades since, Beyoncé has remained a leading figure in music, style, and beauty across the globe. The "Break My Soul" singer even proved that she has the acting chops to keep up with A-list actors, as her performance in the 2006 film "Dreamgirls" is applauded to this day. While Beyoncé looks absolutely flawless without makeup, she always rocks the most stunning glam for performances and red carpet appearances alike. This makes her the perfect messenger to deliver today's quote of the day.

During an interview with Elle in 2010, Beyoncé shared some of her beauty tips and guiding philosophies. "That's one of the things I love about makeup. You can change your whole attitude by just doing your eyeliner or lipstick differently," she told the outlet. Beyoncé's perspective on makeup is one shared by countless makeup artists; makeup isn't always to cover up or conceal, but instead can bolster confidence and serve as an outlet for creativity.

Beyoncé sees makeup as a tool for transformation. While many often see makeup as something merely used to conceal flaws, women like Beyoncé understand that it doesn't have to be. Slight changes to your face, like a brighter lip or bolder eyeliner, can improve your confidence and change the way you carry yourself in the world. Beyoncé's perspective is actually backed by science. Studies show that wearing makeup impacts how you view yourself as well as how others perceive you (for better or for worse, depending on the circumstances and the makeup style).

While you certainly don't have to wear makeup to feel self-assured or be respected by others, if you're in need of a new attitude, as Beyoncé said, you can switch up your makeup on occasions where you need a confidence boost. For Beyoncé herself, doing her makeup helped her get into character for public appearances and performances. During the same 2010 Elle interview where she discussed her beauty routine, the 35-time Grammy winner explained that doing her makeup was her way of "getting into the zone" and "becoming Sasha Fierce" (her former stage persona). Beyoncé's makeup philosophy may be from 2010, but it's just as relevant for makeup-wearers today. 

• "If everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow."
• "I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That's how I've gotten to where I am."
• "When you love and accept yourself, when you know who really cares about you, and when you learn from your mistakes, then you stop caring about what people who don't know you think."
• "Your self-worth is determined by you. You don't have to depend on someone telling you who you are."
• "We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead."
• "It is so liberating to really know what I want, what truly makes me happy, what I will not tolerate. I have learned that it is no one else's job to take care of me but me."
