Get the Look of a Popular Girl

There is another article, How To Be a Popular Girl that explains how to act and a little about how to look. This article is ALL about how to look. If you want people to "love" you, you gotta have a great attitude and awesome clothes.

Steps

  1. Hair. Hair should be trimmed every once in a while and kept looking shiny, frizz-free, and healthy. Not greasy--that's gross. Do cute styles like braiding your bangs, doing a messy bun with your bangs out, doing a poof with your bangs, scrunching your hair, French braiding. The possibilities are endless! It needs to look cute and clean. Straight long highlighted hair with side bangs is ideal, however, there are lots of popular girls who prefer their hair curly. Buy hair accessories like bobby pins, hair clips, hair bands, and Beret's. Bottom line, see what styles in hair are trending in your school and try them out.
  2. Make-up. Soft foundation, some concealer, a bit of face powder, light eye shadow, mascaras, eyeliners, lip glosses. Start your own trends in make-up. People will like that you look nice as well as be you being a nice person. So not too heavy on the make-up.
  3. Clothes. This is probably the most important factor. If you're trying to be popular, gradually wear what is "popular" (and what makes you look confident) as you climb your way up. If you want, start a trend at your school. When you choose your clothes, make sure they're durable and able to last a long time. It is not worth spending your money on a flimsy shirt.
    • At some schools, American Eagle, Aeropostale, PINK (in Victoria's Secret), or Abercrombie & Fitch are all what the popular kids wear. At other schools, popular kids go to Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Target, Charlotte Russe, Delia's, or Kohl's. At some schools, it's about the "preppiness" with sporty brands like Nike and Under Armor,while at other schools, clothes are about being casual, unique and trendy. If you're creative enough, go to thrift shops or Goodwill and see what you can find. Make sure your outfit goes along with what you think is "popular"!
    • Fashions include funky colors, cool patterns, and denim.
    • If your school's popular kids are more trendy: Look for fashion scarves, V-neck solid tops, skinnies, short shorts, miniskirts, graphic tops and pretty tanks, cardigans, bandeau bathing suit, V-neck sweaters, hoodies, jeggings, tights, sweats, Uggs, moccasins, flip flops, slippers, knitted beanies and knitted gloves and canvas shoes. If you don't like any of these (meaning that you don't feel sociable and yourself in), or if the popular girls don't wear them, it's okay to not wear them. As long as your outfit doesn't portray Dora The Explorer or any "little-kid" icon, it's totally cool.
    • If your school is such that the popular kids are like the stereotypical cheerleader, buy some things from the above and also include cute undies to make you feel fabulous. It's a confidence booster for many. You should also invest in a cute purse, bikini, about five pairs of pajamas and winter coat.
  4. Other accessories. Popular kids will often wear whatever they think is cute or cool while following trends and putting their own spin on it (so they still feel comfortable and sociable in what they wear). That's the key! Also, cellphones with keyboards, laptops, an Instagram, a Facebook and iPods are good to have. That way, you can socialize with others and keep up friendships! Also, try some flashy accessories. You know, the kind that everyone loves but is too shy to wear? It will make you seem confident and trendy.
  5. Nails. Long-ish, non-bitten nails are pretty. Solid nail polish color is preferred over different patterns on each hand. You can also do French nails.

Tips

  • Act really nice to all the popular kids so word will spread around and you will become popular. This will all be worth it in the end when you become popular, get invited to parties, have fun sleepovers etc...
  • If you don't already dress like this, don't make all these changes fast. People will know and you will look fake!
  • Look up other Wikihows after you have completed your look to see how to become popular.
  • Buy a strapless LBD, black knitted shrug/ cardigan if its cold and black patent ballet flats for formal occasions i.e.. Your friends moms party, middle school graduation etc...
  • Make sure to be yourself.
  • Be hygienic
  • Shape your brows
  • Buy your products at drugstores. Garnier Fructis, Maybelline, Nivea, Rimmel, Neutrogena are good brands.
  • This will probably take about ten months, but remember it will all be worth it.
  • Get a fake tan if you are pale. If not, just keep your skin well moisturized.
  • Shop at Abercrombie, Hollister, American Eagle, Aeropostale, Garage, Gilly Hicks, Victoria's Secret, VS PINK, UGG Australia, Forever 21, H&M, Charlotte Russe, Aerie, Papaya, Claires etc...
  • Be yourself and not someone you're not.
  • Look good, but be yourself and add something to your outfit that you like.

Warnings

  • Don't go overboard with the accessories! If you have a flashy necklace, wear stud earrings or don't wear any at all. With necklaces, you can wear many if they are only beads or chains, or you can wear many if only one has a design. Go with one ring per hand or two small ones on the same finger. If you wear too many, you will look tacky and hurt your look instead of improving it.
  • Be yourself! Never try to be someone you aren't.
