Your physical appearance plays an important role in determining how others perceive you. In a school environment, many eyes are on you, such as students, teachers, staff, coaches, and so on, and they consider appearance as one of the factors to form an opinion about you. Looking good will help you get a better impression of yourself, and help you feel more about yourself.
Step
Part 1 of 4: Showing a Beautiful Face and Hair
Step 1. Apply toner and moisturizer on the face
Toners and moisturizers help the face look radiant. The toner tightens the pores and reduces the oil that builds up on the skin making it shiny. Moisturizer keeps skin hydrated, and reduces the appearance of flaky skin. If you have oily or combination skin, use a toner before applying moisturizer. If you have dry skin, you may not need to use a toner.
- If you have oily or combination skin, use a moisturizer for oily or combination skin. That way, the moisturizer will not make your skin breakout.
- If you have dry skin, look for a toner for dry or sensitive skin. You can also try using a natural toner like rose water.
Step 2. Apply basic makeup
Makeup helps to even out skin tone and makes the face look smooth, flawless. Applying basic makeup every morning before leaving for school will help you look your best throughout the day.
- Use a concealer according to your skin tone to cover blemishes and then blend it with a makeup sponge.
- Use a makeup brush to apply blush or bronzer. Use a sponge to blend cream or liquid products. Make sure to smooth everything out.
- Finish by applying a transparent powder or setting spray to make your makeup last longer.
Step 3. Make the eyes stand out
Wearing eye makeup will highlight one of the most attractive parts of your face. Basic eye makeup consists of eyeliner, eye shadow, and mascara. Choose one of these makeups, if available, that you want to use. Use eye makeup that is most suitable for the eyes.
- Blue eyes - Use neutral eye shadow colors such as brown, rose, terracotta, or even light purple. Apply eyeliner past the edge of the upper eyelid giving it a “cat eye” look.
- Brown Eyes - For brown eyes, use dark eye shadows such as plum, charcoal, or dark green. For medium brown eyes, try purple, green, or copper. Light brown eyes should use a neutral eyeshadow such as copper or champagne and opt for dark brown eyeliner instead of black.
- Green Eyes - Try different colored eyeshadows like purple, copper or gold. It's best to avoid eye shadow and black eyeliner.
Step 4. Accentuate your lips
Applying color to the lips makes them appear fuller while simultaneously reducing the appearance of the entire face. Basic lip makeup consists of lip pencil, lipstick, and lip gloss. If you use all three, carefully outline the lips first. Follow with lipstick and finish with lip gloss. Choose a lip color that will enhance all facial features.
- Blonde/White Skin - Use colors that seem light and natural, such as pale pink, peach, or rose.
- Red Hair/White Skin - Try nude and cream colors for lips, and avoid pink or red lipstick.
- Brown or Black Hair/White or Dark Skin - Whatever your skin tone, dark-haired women should use dark, rich colors, such as chili red or bright coral. Avoid pale or natural lipstick colors.
Step 5. Style your hair
Certain hairstyles are best suited to certain face shapes. Choose the style that best suits your face shape.
- Round face - Get your hair out with long layers. Arrange your hair in such a way that it forms an angle at the front and don't use bangs. The middle part is perfect for round faces. Avoid the bob and the middle part.
- Oval Face - This face shape goes well with all hairstyles, whether long or short, curly or straight, wavy or layered, all suitable for oval faces. However, the most suitable style is long hair with volume layers.
- Heart Shaped Face - Make bangs that are cut straight and left loose or parted to one side. Style the hair in layers that fall around the cheeks. Shoulder or chin-length hair is best. Hair that is pulled back or frizzy, or straight hair should be avoided.
- Square Face - Style the hair in a light style and let it flow forward to cover the jaw line. Bangs that are parted to one side and hairstyles that are high (bossed) on the crown of the head are also suitable. Avoid short and bob hairstyles.
- Oval Face- Straight bangs with a side parting work best, as well as layered and wavy styles. Avoid the middle part, and hairstyles high on the crown of the head.
- Triangle Face - Try a layered hairstyle that tapers to the jawline. Avoid long hairstyles, but don't cut your hair too short like a bob.
Part 2 of 4: Dress Well
Step 1. Wear clothes that fit your body shape
Wear clothes that accentuate your body and give you confidence when worn. Decide on the type of clothing that can highlight the best parts of your body, while hiding the parts that make you uncomfortable. There are certain outfits that look great on different body shapes.
- Hourglass Shaped Body (curvy with small waist) - To accentuate curves and show off a small waist, try a wrap dress, pencil skirt, belted jacket or sweater, or wide-legged pants with a belt around the waist.
- Apple Shaped Body (smaller at the bottom, bigger at the top) - To accentuate slender legs, as well as disguise the waistline, try a flared top, straight pants with a low waist, a round skirt, or a shift dress.
- Pear Shaped Body (larger at the bottom, slimmer at the top) - To draw attention to a small waist, as well as disguise the size of your hips, buttocks, and thighs, try an A-Line skirt, a fitted dress with a flared skirt, ornate shirt, bootcut or flared pants, or a structured jacket.
- Banana Type Body (thin with slight curves) - To create a curvy look, while accentuating a slender part, try a ruffled top, mini skirt, side cutout dress, narrow-pipe pants (like a skinny jean), or a short jacket.
Step 2. Choose a color palette
Decide what color will highlight your skin tone and curves the most. Choose clothes in a color palette to highlight your natural beauty.
- Impressively Warm Skin Tone - Try wearing red (especially a warm red like tomato), peach, golden yellow, golden brown, olive green, gold
- Cool Skin Tone - Choose clothes in red (with cool colors like cherry), pink, blue, teal, turquoise, purple, min green, silver
Step 3. Put on the accessories
Accessories make clothes look more glamorous. Even casual clothes can look amazing with the right accessories. Consider the types of accessories that will accentuate your outfit and reflect your personal style.
- Make your face the center of attention by wearing large earrings, or accentuate the look of your top by wearing a long necklace. Don't be afraid to mix and match metal jewelry as long as it's allowed at school.
- Wear a belt to eliminate the impression of monotony. In addition, a belt can also make your waist appear smaller or your hips look bigger.
- The simpler your outfit, the more accessories you can wear. On the other hand, the more complicated or the more patterns on the clothes, the fewer accessories you can wear.
- Choose accessories that reflect your personality or interests. Consider boho, gothic, punk, or vintage/retro themed accessories.
Part 3 of 4: Practicing Good Hygiene
Step 1. Take a shower
Every morning before school and in the evening, take a shower and wash the whole body with soap. Body hygiene is the key to producing a beautiful appearance.
- Remember to always wash your face using a gentle facial soap according to your skin type.
- Beauty is not only related to appearance, but also to body odor!
Step 2. Wash your hair
How often hair should be washed depends on each person's preference and hair type. Find out how often you should wash your hair to keep it clean. Some people may have to wash their hair every day, while others only need to do it twice a week. Use shampoo every time you wash your hair, and conditioner if necessary.
Try giving a hair mask treatment too for curly, dry, or brittle hair to keep it smooth and healthy
Step 3. Brush your teeth and clean the gaps with dental floss
Dentists recommend brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing between your teeth at least once a day. This habit will help maintain a healthy-looking smile.
If you have to wear braces, bring a toothbrush to school so you can brush after lunch
Step 4. Use antiperspirant or deodorant
While it doesn't affect your appearance directly, using an antiperspirant or deodorant will keep you feeling fresh and smelling good all day long. Anti-sweat also helps to get rid of sweat stains on clothes thereby enhancing the impression of a clean look.
Not all products will suit you. So, you may have to try several products first until you find the right one
Part 4 of 4: Being Beautiful from the Inside
Step 1. Smile
Research shows that a smiling face looks more attractive than a frowning face. People are naturally attracted to happiness and will come closer to you if they see happiness and a smile on your face. Smiling also gives the impression that you are approachable.
- Remember to smile through your eyes too. That way, your smile will appear sincere.
- This doesn't mean you have to smile like a doll all the time. Smile when you want to do it, or when you meet other people.
Step 2. Be confident
True beauty comes from within. If you feel beautiful in your heart, it will be reflected in your outward appearance. Bobbi Brown, celebrity makeup artist, once said, “Feeling confident, feeling good about yourself; that's what makes you truly beautiful."
- If you don't feel confident easily, try this trick: every day, stand in front of the mirror and praise yourself. Start with small compliments, then work your way up to bigger compliments.
- There is a fundamental difference between confident and arrogant. You are confident if you know you can draw well, but it would be arrogant if you thought of yourself as the most talented artist.
Step 3. Focus on what you have, not what you lack
We all yearn for the perfect body, thick shiny hair, sensual lips, and flawless skin. Very few people are lucky to have all these qualities. Be grateful for all the qualities in yourself that you like, and try to accept your flaws.
- For example, focus on your beautiful eyes or hair. You might look prettier when you wear a hat or glasses, or you're perfect for retro!
- Don't forget about non-physical things like your talents and personality. For example, if you are good at singing, try showing this skill of yours!
