Steps
Acting Like a Simple Girl
- Be true to yourself and don't let others influence you into becoming someone who you are not. Simple things tend to be natural and real. This goes for people too. A simple Indian girl would stick to who she is. She would not try to dress and act like someone she is not just to become popular or to please someone.
- Know what you want, but don't be demanding about it. Simple Indian girls are easy to understand. If you have an opinion about something, don't be afraid to voice it. This also goes for dreams. Not everyone can read your mind, and you can avoid a lot of misunderstandings and wrongful assumptions by making your thoughts, desires, and intentions clear.
- Similarly, a simple Indian girl would not complain or nag if things don't go her way. She would try to make the best of the situation, or find something good about it.
- Be kind to others. Simplicity is often associated with kindness. Even if you don't like someone, try not to show it. Instead, treat this person, and everyone else, with respect and equality. If you see someone who is unhappy or sad, try to cheer them up. If they are beyond console, try to be compassionate and listen to them instead.
- Remember, a smile can go a long way. It will help you appear kinder and more approachable.
- Be polite to others. Like with kindness, simplicity is also associated with politeness. If you see someone who needs help, ask them if they need anything, and offer them assistance. Greet people you encounter, such as a cashier in a store. This will help people think that you see yourself as equal to them, and not above them.
- Be confident, but don't be overly proud or snobby. These are not the traits of a simple Indian girl, and can be a turn off for many people. This includes people who might be interested in being your friend or in dating you. It is alright to be proud of your accomplishments, but it is not alright to brag about them. It is even worse to compare yourself to other people in a condescending, demeaning sort of way.
- Don't hog the spotlight in social events. Simple Indian girls are often thought off as being shy. This does not mean that they must be introverted. A simple Indian girl can be outgoing, but she would also be somewhat reserved. For example, if a simple Indian girl were to attend a party, she would not try to be the center of attention. Instead, she would listen to the stories other people tell. She would talk about herself, but only when asked; she would never brag about her accomplishments.
Dressing and Accessorizing Simply
- Limit the details if you like to dress casual. A pair of jeans, sneakers, and a T-shirt or tunic blouse can be simple. What matters is the details. Plain, boot-cut jeans would be considered simple. Skinny jeans with heavy embroidery and bling on the pockets would not. Wear traditional Indian clothing if you like.
- Modesty is often associated with simplicity. Consider skipping the tight-fitting jeans and low necklines unless you feel they reflect your simple Indian girl persona.
- If you like to wear ethnic or traditional clothing, choose something made from cotton, linen, or silk, and with minimal trim. Fabrics that are solid-colored would be the most simple, but a small pattern will also work. Try to avoid anything with brocades, sequins, embroidery, or heavy beading, especially on the trims, be true to yourself though, don't let this article or anyone else tell you how to be yourself, or dress like yourself. Only you know how to be you.
- The kurti, in general, is very simple.
- Limit the jewelry you wear if you feel excessive jewelry doesn't give the appearance of a simple Indian girl. Simplicity and modesty often go hand-in-hand. If you are looking for a simple look, you might want to pass on the jewelry altogether. If you simply can't stand to leave the house without something sparkly, try a pair of post earrings or a thin, wire bracelet.
- Wear any shoes you like, but pass on those with ornaments, such as beading or brooches. The simplest shoes you can wear are flip flops or sandals, but sometimes, it is not possible to wear those (such as for dress code reasons). In these cases, try on a pair of solid-colored sneakers.
- Wear what you feel most comfortable in, but know how to keep it simple. The most important part of being a simple Indian girl is to be yourself and to feel comfortable. If you feel most comfortable wearing jeans and T-shirts, go for it. If you feel better wearing kurtis or saris, don't hold yourself back. Just remember: the fewer embellishments and details your outfit has, the more simple it will be.
Doing Simple Makeup and Hair
- Limit the makeup. In general, simple Indian girls do not wear makeup. Sometimes, however, a girl feels like she must put something on, be it for a date, picture day, or simply boosting her self-confidence. This section will give you some steps on how to do very simple makeup.
- Remember that you do not need to wear makeup to look beautiful. However, if makeup helps you feel more secure, there are a few tricks you can do to keep it simple while feeling confident.
- Start with a tinted moisturizer that closely matches your skin tone. Moisturizer is good for your skin, so it might be a good idea to put it on anyway. A tinted moisturizer, however, will help even out your skin tone. You also don't have to apply it all over your face. Instead, consider focusing on the trouble areas, such as a stubborn pimple, or under-eye shadows. Be sure to blend it in well.
- For additional benefit, consider getting a moisturizer with SPF. This won't make you paler, but it will protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays.
- Bring life back to a sallow complexion with a light dusting of bronzer. Start with the tops of your cheeks. If you need to, dust on a small amount on your forehead, chin, and nose. Remember to keep it light. A single sweep across each area is all you will need. You don't want it to look like you are wearing any bronzer.
- Use neutral colors for your eyeshadow. Choose colors that closely match your skin tone. Pick a color that is a few shades lighter from your own for the high light, and a color that is a few shades darker for the shadow. This will help give your eyes some definition without it looking like you are wearing eyeshadow.
- Use mascara sparingly, and skip the eyeliner. Chances are, you are already graced with beautiful, long eyelashes. If your eyelashes are a little sparse and you don't feel very confident about them, you can try brushing on a coat or two of mascara. Be sure to comb through your lashes with a clean mascara wand to remove any excess mascara.
- Another trick you can try is to use an eyelash curler.
- Finish off with a tinted lip balm. This will help keep your lips looking plump and healthy. Pass on the lipstick. It usually does not look very natural, and will give away the fact that you are wearing makeup.
- Keep your hairstyles simple. The best style would be a braid or low ponytail. Use a hair tie that closely matches your hair color.
Tips
- Being comfortable is more important than trying to become someone you are not. If you don't feel comfortable doing something, then don't. Simple girls are true to themselves.
- Actions speak louder than words. It is more important to act simply than to look simply.
- Don't be a pushover. Simple girls may not be the sort to nag or complain, but they will also stand their ground and hold true to their beliefs.
- Wearing simple dresses, embroidery shirts, and skinny jeans are considered simple. The thing you should be comfortable in the style you wear.
