Maybe you need a little change in your life, for whatever reason. If you are dissatisfied with how you look and want a new look, follow the steps below to transform into a new person.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Paying Attention to Cleanliness
Step 1. Have a clean lifestyle
Your appearance means nothing if other people smell bad odors from you because you didn't shower, or if you have food debris stuck between your teeth. Keep your body clean by brushing your teeth, flossing between your teeth, and bathing regularly.
- Make sure you brush your teeth at least twice a day. Don't forget to clean your tongue to prevent bad breath (halitosis). Also, clean between your teeth with dental floss at night.
- Wash and use conditioner every few days. Your body produces oils that are good for your hair, so you don't have to shampoo every day. However, make sure that your hair and scalp are not too oily. If you have a very oily scalp and hair, shampoo your hair six days a week.
Step 2. Pamper your skin
Skin is another important body part. Take good care of your skin so that your skin glows.
- Wash your face in the morning and at night. If it starts to appear or there are pimples on your facial skin, use a light topical cream at night.
- Use a face mask once a week. If you can't afford it, you don't have to skip this step. As a more economical alternative, you can make your own mask mixture by mixing mashed bananas with tea tree oil.
- If possible, apply a moisturizer to keep the skin moist. Use a moisturizer after each wash your face or after each shower.
- Make sure your nails are kept neat and, for girls, attractively painted. If you're afraid that the results of your self-painting are not to your liking, you can trim and paint your nails at the salon.
Part 2 of 3: Doing Hair and Using Makeup
Step 1. Have a new haircut
This is your first real step to stand out. You should not hesitate to have a new haircut! Before you head to the salon, take some time to read trend and beauty magazines to determine what kind of haircut you want. If possible, take photos of the hairstyle to your stylist to make sure you get the style or haircut you want.
- Hairstyles such as hair with highlights, layers (layered), beveled end, short cut or sideways bangs are beautiful hairstyles. Contrary to the opinion of many people, hair with a flat cut is not always boring. It's just that, not everyone is suitable to have this haircut.
- If you want to have an emo or punk look, try cutting your hair short and having a layered hairstyle, side bangs, and dyeing part of your hair pink or purple.
- If you want to have a California girl or surfer girl look, try having long, slightly wavy hair, with lighter colored highlights.
- If you want to have a classic or preppy look, try having long, straight hair with side-swept bangs that you can easily tie or roll up.
Step 2. Make sure your new hairstyle still looks good
Once you have a new haircut, show your charm with the new haircut. Make sure you treat and style your hair every morning. Pay attention to what products you use and how often you curl or straighten your hair. Overuse of products or tools to style your hair can lead to breakage, split ends, or hair loss.
- When you shower in the morning, use a small amount of hair care products and clean your hair naturally. Hair that looks natural will make you look more beautiful and charming. In fact, you will be more approachable by others.
- Nowadays, the use of headbands is becoming a trend. Black, brown, or white headbands go well with almost any type and color of clothing. In addition, there are many headbands made of wire (a kind of headband) or headbands shaped like jewelry available in the market.
- Don't you have much time? Just tie your hair. The hair that follows also looks beautiful. A ponytail or bun can make you look attractive, while a braid can create a more classic look.
Step 3. Try a new makeup
Although not mandatory, you can use makeup. Just a little use of colored or clear lip gloss on your lips can make your lips appear thicker. It's also a good idea to use a blemish mask to cover up dark spots on your face, unless you're strictly prohibited from using it. If you can't use makeup, make sure you really take care of your facial skin. This way, there will be no blemishes on your facial skin.
- Keep your make-up products in a small bag and carry essential make-up items with you at all times, either in a school bag or handbag, depending on the situation (eg your goals).
- Try using a blush with a natural color. The right blush can make you blush naturally, and not make you look like you're using blush on purpose.
- If you want, try buying an eyelash curler. Eyelash curlers can be an alternative to mascara. By curling your eyelashes, your eyes will appear bigger and more radiant.
Step 4. Use different makeup, according to the style you show
Again, the type of makeup you use will depend on the type of style you want to show. Below are some suggestions for using makeup to suit certain styles:
- For an emo or punk look, try wearing dark shadows and mascara (eg black), and some gloss to accentuate your lips. Don't choose a pale foundation! So far people have mistakenly thought that in emo or punk style, one must have a pale face. Just because you're emo, doesn't mean you have to look as pale as the dead.
- For a California girl or surf girl look, try using light makeup with natural colors. Use a little bronzer, a light mascara, and a little dark shadow. Remember, you just want your skin to look tanned as if you had sunbathed on the beach, so use light makeup instead.
- For a classic or preppy look, use red or pale lips (nude lipstick). In addition, use mascara, and white eye pencil around the inner corner of your eyes, as well as apply three-tone cheeks that blend neatly. Now you get a classic look!
- Practice and practice! Practice applying make-up, styling your hair, and adapting it to your style. Take photos of yourself to see what looks good and what doesn't suit your style. Remember that using make-up can make a bigger difference to your appearance.
Part 3 of 3: Customizing Clothes and Accessories
Step 1. Wear a different type of clothing
You may need to shop for clothes to match your new look. However, don't worry. When shopping, think about the flexibility of the clothes to buy. If you can mix one outfit with several different types of clothing (especially for different styles), you've managed to find an outfit that is 'flexible'. You don't have to buy a lot of clothes to change your appearance; You just need to wear it in a different blend.
-
Make sure you have jeans that fit (not too tight). As much as possible don't wear cutbrai pants because cutbrai pants are no longer trendy. You can also wear jeggings (leggings designed to resemble skinny jeans). Besides being comfortable, jeggings can also make you look more stylish.
- For an emo or punk style, choose dark jeans. You can also wear jeans that have a few rips (or rip them yourself).
- For a surfer's style, wear light-colored jeans or faded jeans. You can also wear linen pants or capri pants.
- For a classic look, try wearing tight indigo or black jeans (or maybe some trendy plaid jeans if you want a more flashy look). Make sure you don't wear faded jeans.
Step 2. Wear a shirt to make your appearance even more stunning
Shirts and tops, of course, are essential items for any type of style. Customize your top with the specific type of style you want. Even if you don't have big funds, you can make big changes just by mixing and matching or wearing an attractive top.
-
A sleeveless t-shirt or tight t-shirt can make a big difference to your look, especially if you're looking for a surf girl or preppy look. Buy a few pieces of sleeveless shirts, or sleeveless shirts with lace. Wear this sleeveless t-shirt before you put on a casual looking sleeveless t-shirt, so that only the bottom of your sleeveless t-shirt is visible (sleeves should not be longer than the sleeveless t-shirt). In essence, try to wear and mix the two, and create the impression of layered clothing.
If you want a neat appearance, a work shirt with a collar is the way to go. Loose button-down shirts (checkered or denim shirts) are perfect for pairing with skinny jeans
- If you want to be emo, punk, or indie, try wearing a band shirt. Look for t-shirts with faded colors or looks for a vintage touch. In addition, the shirt also does not need to be too loose. Show your body shape through the shirt you wear.
Step 3. Look for clothes in stores that sell used clothes
Even cheap clothes can make you stylish. However, not all thrift or bargain shops have items of the same good quality. When buying used clothes, make sure you are very careful and thorough with the clothes being sold. Look for any damage such as minor rips, discoloration or fading, or other damage to the clothes being sold.
- Pay attention to branded items that have only been worn a few times. You're in luck if you manage to get your hands on a cool jacket or blouse that, in fact, has never been worn, but is selling for a discount (especially a big one).
- Visit thrift shops after the holiday season is over. Often people get gifts from their parents or siblings, and they don't like the gifts, so they return or resell the gifts to thrift shops. Therefore, the end of the holiday season is the right time for you to shop at these stores.
Step 4. Put on the accessories
It is important that you wear jewelry to change your appearance. You don't need to wear a lot of jewelry, but make sure you have some pretty ones as they will complete your collection. Try to keep it simple with the jewelry you wear.
- Try wearing a ring pendant with fake gemstones, or a large ring earring. For a fiercer look, you can wear studs.
- Silver jewelry can also be a beautiful choice. Apart from being trendy, these pieces of jewelery are also inexpensive and can be combined with any type of outfit or style.
- If you want to look neat and tidy, make sure you have a cool watch or two. For an emo or punk style, you can wear black or colorful rubber bands.
Step 5. Don't forget to take your new look down to your feet
Shoes are also important in your appearance. Shoes can make you look more attractive, or just mess it up, and, of course, they can be a great accessory. Pay attention to the type of footwear you wear when you want to change your appearance.
- For a neat and polite appearance (preppy), buy a pair of flat heels (flat shoes), high heels, or running shoes (running shoes). Furry high boots are also great to wear, especially in winter.
- For a surf girl or California girl look, wear casual shoes like canvas shoes (sneakers from brands like Keds or Vans), or maybe sheepskin boots (only for winter wear), flat heels, or flip-flops.
- For an emo or punk style, wear high tops (such as those produced by Vans), black canvas shoes (especially the Converse brand), or even boots.
Tips
- Remember that using perfume can make you more attractive and make you look more stunning.
- Be confident in your style.
- Use whitening toothpaste, and smile! Be proud of yourself.
- Be yourself and stay confident. People will know if you're feeling nervous or clumsy because you're not showing who you really are.
- Imagine someone who has the style you are looking for or want, then try to imitate their style until the style really suits you. After that, you can give your own style touch to your look.
- Buy a necklace made of real silver or gold. You can wear it as many times as you want, and it will become the hallmark of your style.
- You are the one who follows the style you want, not the style that is forced on you.
- Choose your clothes carefully.
- Be yourself, but don't miss out on the latest trends.
- Take care of your health, and always take the medicines you really need.
- A friend of yours might be an inspiration. You can try to imitate his style or mingle with him and his friends. You can also create your own style. Who knows you might have a talent, like playing a musical instrument, that can highlight your style.
Warning
- Don't use too many styling tools that generate heat. By not using a lot of these tools, your hair will not easily split, so the hair remains healthy. If you need to use it, buy a hair protection spray and apply it before you style your hair with a styling tool.
- Always remove make-up before you go to bed.
- Always apply lip balm on your lips before going to bed (especially if your lips are always dry) to prevent chapped or bleeding lips.
- Don't use too much makeup.
