"Confidence is not, They will like me," says 22-year-old blogger Katy Bellotte. "Confidence is, I don't care if they like me, because I like me." Like many, the college student and member of European Wax Center’s Strut Society has struggled with insecurities and recalls often "shrinking herself" to benefit others around her. While learning to be comfortable in her own skin — with or without makeup — admittedly wasn't easy, there's no way she's turning back now. Press play to get her take on kicking self-doubt to the curb and discovering her unapologetic confidence.
ABOUT SERIES
On Naked Truths, we create a safe space for women to discuss the pressures of current-day beauty standards. This platform allows women to detail their personal experiences, utter their vulnerabilities, and break down beauty barriers by removing all of their makeup on camera. Personal beauty is not defined by the surface value, but by inner strength.
