As a matter of fact, there are more natural ways to look pretty, bad day good day, and this article will help show you how to add that confidence to look naturally pretty – as we all know, self-confidence is one of the most attractive feature in the world. So keep you back straight and your head high, this will increase that feeling where your know who you are, what you want, how to be happy and how to enjoy life to its maximum.
1. Smile! Try to smile once in a while, this will make you feel good about yourself. A small smile goes a long way to bring a positive atmosphere. You can even practice smiling in front of the mirror when you first wake up, this is an excellent way to start the day, and you’ll see, your own smile will put you in a great spirit.
2. Opt for a spring or summery look by avoiding putting too much makeup on, and by choosing a more natural look. Makeup was creating to enhance the nice features of your face, not to hide it. For example, choose colors that are complimentary to your eye colors, apply an eyeliner to add more definition to your eyes. Apply more neutral and subtle colors during daytime, keep the intense and more daring colors for nighttime. If you suffer from acne, use an anti-acne product that won’t dry out your skin, to avoid flaky skin.
3. Opt for clothes that will flatter your body type and avoid clothes that show too much skin, this will give people a bad picture of you.
- You can look classy and cute all at once. Try to pair up a pair of jeans and a nice top, or a skirt, and choose a pair of shoes of boots that will fit.
- Boring outfit? Refine it with a few accessories, such as a necklace or a nice headband.
- Buy clothes that flatter your body type, and create long lines and pretty curves.
4. Take good care of your hair. Cut them regularly and choose a hair cut that fits the shape of your face best (You can do a quick “Google” search about it, or simply ask a stylist or even your hairdresser.
- Make sure to brush your hair. Try to straighten them, or curl them in a nice way.
- If you dye your hair, make sure that the color you choose will suit your skin tone.
5. Keep a good and straight posture. This has two advantages. First, it’ll make you look more confident. Second, it will have the benefit of getting rid or hiding to unwanted bulges of your body (your stomach for example will look more flat if you stand straight). Overall, you will simply look better by adopting a good posture.
6. Look for your inner beauty. Of course, some people naturally look good. But sometimes, after you’ve talked to them, you start thinking that they don’t look that good after all. This is because a bad personality or bad behavior can totally change the way you see someone, and a good looking person with a bad personality or behavior can lose other people attention after a while.
- Therefore, remember that all the makeup in the work won’t help you if you are always negative or a person difficult to get along with
- Make sure to respect the people around you, you will feel good and people will notice it (see below).
7. Feel good about yourself. When you feel good about yourself, this will be reflected in your overall beauty and confidence.
- People are often attracted to people who are confident and who have respect for themselves. Don’t get me wrong here, conceited and arrogant are not an example of self confidence. Self confidence is rather shown by the fact that you are happy with who you are, and what you look like.
- A happy and jovial personality will put everybody at ease, and will make you more approcheable.
- Be yourself, and be kind to other people, this is something others will quickly notice
8. If someone gives you a compliment, don’t try to turn them into something bad or negative. Simply accept them, and use them to make yourself feel even better. To take a compliment with a simple “thank you” is certainly healthier on your well-being instead of bringing yourself down each time.
9. Exercise. Everybody respect people who take care of themselves. To be good looking doesn’t necessarily mean to wear lots of makeup and the latest or trendiest piece of clothing. No, to look good mostly mean to feel good about yourself and to be healthy.
- Work out 30 minutes to 1 hour a day and drink 8 glass of water every day. Water will clear your face and make your skin look better and shinier.
- If you don’t like or don’t have the time to work out in a gym, try speed walking during lunch time, during your break, before or after work, or even as you are walking to the bus stop.
- You can also choose a sport you like : tennis, hockey, soccer, swimming, jogging, etc.
10. Sleep! Enough sleep will make you look better every day. Good sleep habits will help your body regenerate faster and better, and you will feel revigorated for the next day.
You are pretty and no matter what other people say, you must believe in yourself. Keep a positive attitude and surround yourself with people who are positive as well.
