Be Pretty if You Are Unfortunate With Your Looks

It's always great to look nice. However, it's important to keep in mind that hormones can make you feel ugly, even if you aren't—and there will always be some people who see pretty things about you, always somebody who will fall in love with you, and there will always be something awesome about you inside and out.

Steps

  1. Be confident. There is no point sitting in your bedroom worrying over your looks. You can change yourself and there are ways of bringing in confidence. Walk with your back straight, and don't slouch. Have a positive outlook on everything. You are beautiful no matter what in your own way.
  2. Be clean and hygienic. Bathe or shower every day. Wash your hair on a regular schedule that works for you. Use a bath gel that smells great, and try skin lotions if you have dry skin.
  3. Find a haircut that suits the shape of your face and purchase the right washing and styling products for your hair type. It's best to leave this to the professionals and have it cut at a salon. Not only will this be more accurate, the style will frame your face properly, the stylists will help pick a style with you to suit you, and the products used will be much better. Try out products like:
    • Mousse
    • Straightening cream
    • Heat protector serum or spray
    • Hairspray
    • Gel (for wearing hair up)
    • Hair accessories
  5. Wash your face and moisturize. If you wear makeup, remove it properly with makeup remover. Cleanse the face with facial wash (this will help with spots), try a spot cream if you get acne often, and moisturize skin daily.
  6. Keep nails in good order. Make sure fingernails are never dirty. Wear nail polish if you like. If you're not a fan of color on nails, wear clear nail polish. This will not only make nails stronger, but will add shine. Try dipping them in olive oil each night, this will help build strong nails and heal cuticles. (Be sure the olive oil stays on your cuticles for 2-3 minutes.) Why not jazz them up a bit with a sensible but pretty pastel shade? A French manicure is always most effective. False nails are over-rated and unnecessary in the opinion of many.
  7. Try a little makeup. If you're under 18, it's best to keep it toned down. If you have acne, then try getting rid of it with home remedies or consider foundation—but make sure it is the same color and tone as your skin, and wear the color powder over the top. For an easier option, apply concealer which matches your skin color. Try covering under-eye circles in the same way. Add Vaseline to your lips and lightly add pink to your cheeks for a rosy glow (then add a little Vaseline for a 'glow'). Try a little bit of mascara.
    • Don't feel like you have to wear makeup to be beautiful.
  8. Pluck your face if you have hair there. Don't go as far as false lashes, and make it look natural, yet noticeable. Always make sure you look natural—and don't wear any more makeup than that except for special occasions.
  9. Be a nice person. If you are horrible on the inside, then it will show on the outside. Be nice to people, share your things, and work hard in lessons.
  10. Smile. Smiling makes you look more attractive. When somebody catches your eye, smile confidently. Be polite to people. This looks a lot more attractive than frowning and mumbling.
  11. Brush your teeth! Try out mints for good breath, and a little teeth whitener but don't over-do it.
  12. Dress nicely. Instead of wearing boring jeans, try out skirts and tights (or leggings). Alternately, try a classy scarf and some earrings—and if you're sticking to the 'classy' category, hoops aren't recommended. Studs are a better idea.
  13. Don't become obsessed with looks. It's what's on the inside that counts.
  14. Wash your face twice a day, and moisturize with a good, suitable lotion, and make sure to comb and brush your hair too.
  15. Eat healthily and exercise! Stay fit! Make sure to play or get outside at least 60 minutes a day and eat healthy! Exercise doesn't have to be boring! Try swimming, or horse riding, or walking, WiiFit or even yoga or martial arts. Fruit and yogurt helps, and try to stay away from more unhealthy foods such as cake, candy, ice cream, etc.
  16. Color-coordinate your clothes! Wear colors that you think will make you look good. Be bold, wear good quality clothes and plan outfits ahead of time.
  17. Don't listen when other people put you down, just know that they're putting you down while you are going on with your life. Remember that they only try to make you feel worse and make themselves feel better than you. You don't want to sink to their level by saying something back.
  18. Wear clothing that actually fits, it'll make you seem way more attractive. But always remember, don't always count on your prettiness, it's about what's inside your heart that counts. Always be yourself, even if people don't like you for who you are!

Tips

  • Don't copy others! Remember this quote: "Be yourself! Everyone else is taken." -Oscar Wilde
  • Being a good person is a must. But you should also try to stand up for yourself if people laugh at you.
  • There are people who can't afford this or that but there is one thing we can all afford: a smile.
  • Don't compare yourself to models and beautiful people in your life! Everyone has their own kind of beauty, you just have to find it. Besides, even the beautiful people you know probably envy at least one thing about you, even if they don't say so.
  • Remember, you are the only you in the universe. No one else is exactly like you so you shouldn't try to be like someone else. You are pretty, beautiful, and stunningly amazing in your own unique way no matter what people say about how to look or dress or talk, walk, or laugh.
  • Ignore what other people say to you. Many people criticize others for making themselves feel better.
  • You don't have to look like all the other girls to be pretty. Everyone has their own unique beauty so embrace it!
  • If you are in school, don't be too worried about your looks. Get good grades, as your grades tend to shape your personality. If you are failing, it shows that you are not trying. But if you are doing the work and trying, others will like to be associated with you and you will feel prettier.
  • Being beautiful means helping others and remembering that as bad as your life is, there are so many people living in their own hell.
  • Don't go for the latest trends. Be confident in your own style.
  • If you are shy, try talking to a counselor or make an effort to get to know people in a new way. Volunteering builds confidence because you're always around others!
  • Don't worry about what others say about you.
  • Treat others the way you want to be treated!
  • Find you own style and be an inspiration, but just remember once you accept who you are and what you look like, no one can hurt you.
  • If you don't like the way you look, change your outlook. All you need to know is that someone thinks you're pretty and they always will accept you for who you are.
  • You are a canvas, your mind is an artist, your hands are the tools. Use makeup and wacky cool things but stay your style. Everyone is beautiful but you must learn to be yourself. There is only one you so paint yourself perfect!
  • Don't spend your time worrying or you don't have to have nice clothes or a nice house.
  • Beauty comes from the inside, and if you accept that, it will show on the outside, too!
  • Don't be jealous be happy with your own look because if you're jealous your inside will be ugly with envy but if your not and if your kind sweet and nice your prettiness from the inside will shine!!
  • Don't focus on your looks! If you have a winning personality, good people will welcome you into their lives. Be nice, be confident, and have fun!
  • Always keep a spoon in the freezer, mostly if you tend to have lines under your eyes in the morning. Just take the spoon and put it over your eyes for about 10-30 seconds.
  • Everyone is cute in their own way.
  • Don't let drama get in your way in life! You are unique in your own way and everyone has flaws but that makes you, you! You are perfect the way you are if people can't see that then they are not in earnest!

Warnings

  • Everyone has a different idea of what beauty is. Even if you don't consider yourself to be beautiful, someone does.
  • Don't overdo yourself, make sure you are satisfied with your looks, and if that "certain someone" starts noticing you, say "Hi", don't be shy or he/she will just move on, and you don't want that!
  • Don't worry if anyone puts you down because they're just trying to bring you down to their level. Just be confident in who you are and not what everyone else wants you to be!
