Be a Cute Girl in Middle School

Once you get to middle school, you'll probably want to start looking pretty for the guys or just to look good. Follow these steps to look cute without looking like you're trying too hard.

Steps

  1. Maintain a good standard of personal hygiene. You might also want to carry a deodorant around with you or keep one in your locker or in your purse or bag, and make sure to brush your teeth in the morning.
    • Cleanse morning and night, as greasy complexions and spots are not very cute. If you have a spot or two, no worries – just apply concealer. But, applying makeup on already irritated skin isn't considered wise by everyone. Some just give makeup a break until any minor blemish or pimple vanishes all by itself which they inevitably do.
  2. Consider changing or fixing up your hair. If you don't have money for salon treatment, you can get hot-tools and hair products at your local drugstore. There's tons of fun hair ideas in fashion magazines such as Seventeen magazine or Teen Vogue, so you could use the magazines as a reference for fun looks to try!
    • Some nice cuts and hairstyles are: short with cute bangs and little bows, medium length with layers, long and straight, plaits, little curls at the sides of your face, tidy buns with hairnets, two topknots on each side, messy buns.
    • Flower clips and headbands, pink hair elastics, those little beaded plait things are all recommended.
  3. Wear a little makeup. Ask your parents first though since not all parents approve of makeup in middle school. P.s: Do NOT use "But all the other girls wear it!" as your reason to wear makeup. Makeup is a tool to define your finest features and a little goes a long way!!
    • Avoid overdoing makeup. Try a little bit of eyeliner and mascara if you want to highlight your eyes, or a swipe of gloss for a clean, polished look.
    • If you want to do eyeshadow, don't do bright blues or pinks unless you want you. Remember it's your face, you can wear whatever makeup you are allowed to. Do earthy tones like brown, dark green, etc if you like. Find colors that suit YOU best!
    • For lips, just use tinted or clear lip balm or gloss and carry it in your bag for touch-ups! Pale pink lips are an option too, but keep in mind that you're going to school, not a prom.
  4. Be yourself! This is the most important part. Although it might be tough being comfortable in your own skin be proud of who you are. Don't let anyone tell you who to be, you run your own life.
  5. Be smart. Acting dumb isn't the way to go. Study and complete all of your school assignments. Just because there's a party you want to go to, doesn't mean you can skip studying or homework.
  6. Wear perfume if you like. You want to smell sweet, not gross. You can go shopping for your signature scents, just don't wear stuff that's too strong.
  7. Have fashion style. Wear things like fluffy pastel jumpers, short (but sensible) skirts and shorts, cute short-sleeved tees and ballet flats/sandals. If you have school uniforms, you can have cute jackets, black Converse (your teachers won't notice), frilly or patterned socks and small pendants or whatever else you feel happy and comfortable in. There are no wrong or right outfits unless a dress code applies to a situations.

Tips

  • Smile!! Its the most important thing! A smile is the answer to being cute! Plus guys loves a girl who smiles!
  • Love yourself. Guys don't like girls who are depressed and sad all the time. They want a happy bright cheerful girl.
  • Don't care what others think about you, do what you like and be confident, that's all that really matters! People will admire you for that.
  • Most importantly, be yourself. Don't try to act like someone on a TV show or anything.
  • If you want, carry a brush with hair ties and extra bobby pins in case your hair falls out. You can put it up or help a friend who's having a bad hair day.
  • Change up your look once in a while! It will tell people that you are unique!
  • Don't gossip about others, unless you want a bad reputation.
  • Don't follow the "cool" group around. Hang out with who you want to hang out with.
  • Respect others and be outgoing. Don't worry about who you are and don't worry about anything little and just have fun.
  • Be funny. Funny girls are super cute
  • If you are a little over weight just try to eat sensibly, don't worry it won't hurt you and do lots of sports that helps too you know!
  • If you decide to wear perfume, try to go for scents that aren't too fruity. Some people like the scent of oranges, but for other people it makes difficult to concentrate.
  • Don't make a big act to get guys to like you because they need to like "you" for "you" and not just your pretty face.
  • Don't pretend to be friends with people you're not friends with.
  • Don't be shallow and only date a guy for his looks, odds are you'll end up getting hurt.
  • Don't be a flirt behind the back of one of your crushes because it's embarrassing.
  • Don't overdo the makeup. You want to look natural, use colors that compliment your eyes or complexion. When someone sees you, do you want them to think that you have makeup on or "Oh, she looks so natural and so nice"? Also, it looks much better to wear makeup that blends with your face.
  • Go as long as you can without wearing cover-up or foundation. It can make you break out and no one likes that. Some people wear foundation when they have perfect skin already, break out, and go for years without clear skin again.
  • Don't wear a push-up bra! Unless you are 16, at least. They can make you look terrible, especially if you have large breasts for your age.
  • If you don't really wear makeup, you should consider lipgloss, fixing up your eyelashes, and wear jewelry.
