Changing their appearance can be a fun activity and some people do it to express themselves as mature and different from the usual. Maybe you want to change your appearance because you are tired of your current make-up or need to adjust it to your current daily life. For that, start by determining the desired appearance style. Then, sort clothes in your wardrobe and complete your wardrobe with a few new pieces. The appearance will be much different if you change the hairstyle. Also, your new look will look even more attractive if you apply makeup (optional) and take care of your nails.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Changing Dress Style
Step 1. Sort your clothes in your wardrobe, then donate or sell clothes that you don't wear anymore
By looking at the collection of clothes in the closet, you can choose clothes that you no longer want to wear, then replace them with clothes that support a new style of appearance.
Remove all the clothes from the closet, then place them on the bed or on the floor so that they can be seen individually. Hang your favorite clothes or those you still want to wear in the closet. Donate or sell clothes you no longer wear
Tip: Buying new clothes to complement the existing ones is much easier and cheaper than replacing the entire wardrobe with new clothes. Existing clothes can be modified to look like new by changing the model, color, or combined with other clothes.
Step 2. Look for fashion style photos of role models on social media as a source of inspiration
When considering what a new look might suit you, look for photos of role models on social media, such as Instagram or Twitter. Pay attention to the clothes he wears. If you find an interesting piece of clothing, find out how to get it if he shares a link about the seller.
- If they're expensive, look for the same clothes at thrift stores or on discount websites.
- You can find inspiration through fashion magazines and Pinterest. Save photos of clothes whose models support the new look style.
Step 3. Determine the style of clothes that can change the appearance
After finding some clothes that support a new style of appearance, complete the clothing collection little by little. Mix and match new clothes with existing clothes until you can look the way you want. When choosing a fashion style that makes you look great, consider whether or not you need to replace all your existing clothes with new clothes.
For example, you already have a classic style of clothes as you wish. To change up your look, wear a scarf or jewelry to give yourself a unique and attractive style. Another example, you've been looking preppy. To change your appearance, wear vintage-style clothes with retro nuances
Step 4. Buy a new handbag or shoes as an instant way of changing your appearance
If you can't afford new clothes right now or are still looking for the most appropriate style of appearance, buy a new handbag or shoes. The change in appearance is most noticeable when you bring in a new handbag or put on new shoes.
- For example, bring a red handbag to replace the black bag that you have been using or wear high heels to replace the cream colored flat shoes that you wear everyday.
- Consider carefully the desired appearance style, then determine the things that need to be prepared so that the desire can be realized.
Step 5. Buy a new jacket or blazer that goes well with a variety of clothing styles
Jackets and blazers are very useful investments because they can be combined with a variety of clothing models. Choose a jacket that changes appearance and is comfortable to wear!
- For example, buy a black leather jacket if you want to look casual or a formal blazer if you want to look neat and professional.
- Consider the local climate. If you live in a 4 season country, buy a coat that goes well with a variety of clothing styles to keep you warm and can be worn from fall to spring.
- If you live in a tropical country, buy a jacket that is light material so that it can be combined with a tank top, t-shirt, or long-sleeved shirt. Also, buy a sweater to wear in cold weather.
Step 6. Buy some new jewelry or accessories
Jewelry makes appearance more attractive and clothes more stylish. Prepare some new jewelry to wear with a new outfit or an existing outfit to expose a new look. If you are reluctant to wear jewelry, use a watch, tie, hat, or scarf as a complement to your outfit to make your appearance look different than usual.
For example, wear pearl earrings if you want a classic retro look. Another example, wear a necklace that fits around your neck or a beaded bracelet if you want to look energetic
Method 2 of 3: Changing Hairstyles
Step 1. Change the position of the parting
Although it seems less effective, this step makes the appearance look much different than usual. If you have been styling your hair in the middle, change the position of the parting to the right or to the left. If you're used to side-parting your hair, try moving it to the middle.
Parting hair at the crown makes the face like a frame. Parting the hair on the side makes one side of the face more exposed and shows a different part of the face
Step 2. Change the hairstyle to make it look short
If you have long hair and are considering a short-haired option, simulate it by curling your hair so it looks short. Thus, the appearance changes without cutting hair. This step is especially useful if you don't want to shorten your hair or want to find out what you would look like if you had short hair.
Use bobby pins to hold the hair at the nape of the neck so it doesn't fall out
Step 3. Try bangs (if you don't have bangs) or pin the bangs back
If you don't have bangs, ask your stylist to trim the front of your hair so you have bangs. If you have bangs, pin your bangs back so you don't look bangs. These two ways make a very different appearance!
If you want to change your hairstyle so it doesn't look bangs, use hair gel and some bobby pins to hold the bangs back
Tip: To find out what you'd look like with bangs, try sideways bangs. If it doesn't match, you can brush your hair to the side of your ear because side bangs are longer than those that end above the eyebrows.
Step 4. Style your hair to make it wavy or straight
If your hair is curly, wavy, or textured, use a flat iron to straighten it. If your hair is straight, roll it up with rollers or flat irons to make it wavy. These two steps make the appearance completely changed. Choose one method according to your current hair condition.
Step 5. Change the hairstyle for a more attractive appearance
One way to instantly change your appearance is to change your hairstyle. So that the appearance is not much different, ask the hairdresser to cut the ends of your hair with a layer model. If you want to change drastically, change the hairstyle to a bob or cut. Collect photos of the desired hairstyle, then determine the most appropriate choice so that the appearance is different from usual.
Find a photo of your favorite hairstyle on a website, then save it to your phone so you can show it to your hair stylist
Step 6. Change the hair color so that the appearance changes drastically
Often times, changing your hair color has a bigger impact than changing your hairstyle because it can expose your eye color, make your skin tone look different, and support a new look, for example making you look more graceful or more cheerful. Look for photos of the hair color that you like and then choose a color that can change your appearance.
The cost of dyeing hair at the salon is relatively expensive, but this step is very effective in changing the appearance. If needed, you can save money by dyeing your hair yourself at home
Method 3 of 3: Using Makeup
Step 1. Use eye-catching eye makeup to transform your look
If you are used to wearing perfunctory makeup or the same eye makeup every day, use different cosmetics. Apply black eyeliner if you rarely use it. Make up your eyelids with eyeshadow colors that have never been used.
For example, if you always use brown eye shadow, replace it with green. Another example, if you are used to using black eyeliner, replace it with blue or brown
Tip: Many people use false eyelashes to make their eyes look brighter and look different than usual. If you've never used false eyelashes, try applying them after eye makeup or applying mascara to make your lashes look thicker and longer.
Step 2. Use an eyebrow pencil to apply eyebrow makeup
Eyes look more beautiful and attractive if the eyebrows are neatly made up. Color the part of the eyebrow that is not covered by hair with an eyebrow pencil that matches the color of the eyebrow hair. This step makes the eyes look more attractive and different appearance than usual.
When applying eyebrow makeup, use an eyebrow pencil as needed, not too thick. Natural eyebrow makeup makes the face look more attractive
Step 3. Apply red lipstick to make your face more beautiful and bright
Red lipstick is suitable for all women, but many choose other colors because it makes the face look fierce. If you are reluctant to use red lipstick, look for shades of red that are in demand for lip makeup.
In addition to red, make up your lips with coral or fusia pink lipstick to make your face look more beautiful and attractive
Step 4. Complete your new look by taking care of your nails
A surefire tip to complete a new look is to show off healthy and well-groomed nails. Depending on your personal preference, you can paint your nails with a bold, bright color nail polish or a sleek neutral color. In addition, clean, neat, and healthy nails make you look attractive.
