My beauty ethos? Well, I'd love to tell you it's something like 'less is more,' but honestly, it all starts with happiness. If only someone could bottle that up - when I'm happy, I'm at my most radiant and glowing. It does me better than any product ever could. And I stand by how cheesy and cliched that sounds.

What this quote means

She suggests that while society often promotes the idea of 'less is more' in beauty, it is ultimately the inner joy and contentment that radiate outward, making a person beautiful, more than any cosmetics or beauty products could achieve.
