Look Cute in Front of Your Ex, Crush, or Boyfriend (Teen Girls Only)

It's totally normal to want to look your best in front of your ex, crush, or boyfriend. There are lots of ways you can look cute, from choosing a great outfit to paying attention to your makeup and accessories. Try to portray positive body language by smiling often and making eye contact. If you give off confidence and are true to yourself, your ex, crush, or boyfriend is much more likely to think you're super cute.

Steps

Choosing Clothing and Accessories

1. Choose an outfit that fits your body well. When you’re picking an outfit to wear in front of your ex, crush, or boyfriend, you want to choose clothing that fits your body and makes you feel confident. A great option for most body types is selecting a piece of clothing that highlights your waist, such as high-waisted pants or a dress that hugs your body.
   • For example, if you have super long legs you might choose a maxi dress or miniskirt, while an hourglass figure looks great in a bodycon dress or clothing that clings.
   • Look for options like dresses or skirts that have a fitted waist and a skirt that flows out.
   • V-neck or scoop-neck tops are great for creating curves along your neckline.
2. Wear something new to give yourself added confidence. A new outfit is a great confidence booster and will make you feel like you look your best. Visit your favorite store and pick out a new shirt, pair of pants, or dress to wow your ex, crush, or boyfriend the next time you know you’re going to see them.
   • Pick out a new blouse to impress your ex, crush, or boyfriend, or a new pair of cute jeans.
   • You don’t have to come up with a completely new full outfit. Even just a new t-shirt, sweater, hat, or pair of shoes can boost your confidence.
3. Add embellishments to your outfit if you wear a uniform to school. Adding things like a belt, hat, or scarf to your outfit will make you look more put-together and fashionable when you're not able to change your wardrobe. Choose embellishments that work with your uniform and the season. You can also layer your clothing to make it look cuter too.
   • Wear cute socks with your uniform, or pick out a headband that matches your outfit.
   • Choose a colorful belt to wear with your uniform pants.
   • Even adding accessories like bracelets or necklaces will add to your outfit nicely.
4. Put on dangly earrings to show off your neck and shoulders. Drawing attention to your neckline and shoulders will make you appear cute and more attractive. Put on a pair of dangly earrings, choosing ones that match your outfit and personality.
   • For example, wear a pair of gold dangly earrings with a red, navy blue, and gold summer dress.
   • To show off an artsy personality, choose earrings that are made of feathers, buttons, beads, or other unique materials.
5. Choose shoes with a heel on them to enhance your look. Wearing heels will make your outfit look cuter and more feminine. Pick out a pair of heels or wedges that match the colors in your outfit, making sure that you can walk safely in them without falling.
   • For example, wear a pair of low black heels with a skirt and t-shirt, or pick out a pair of comfortable wedges to wear with a dress and sweater.
   • Wear the heels to things like after-school events, dinner with friends, or a dance.

Doing Your Makeup and Hair

1. Opt for a natural look by applying minimal makeup. If you have any imperfections you’d like to cover up, use a lightweight foundation or concealer that matches your skin tone. Apply your makeup using a makeup brush or sponge, making sure it’s spread in an even layer across your skin.
   • You can also apply a little bronzer or blush, making sure not to add too much to keep your look natural.
2. Wear eyeliner or mascara to make your eyes pop. Mascara and eyeliner make your eyes appear bigger, attracting the attention of your ex, crush, or boyfriend. Apply eyeliner around the edges of your eyes using slow, precise movements. Swipe mascara on your top lashes, starting at the base of your eyelid and teasing the eyelashes upwards.
   • Decide how thick or thin you want your eyeliner to be, with the thinner the line the more natural the look.
   • Apply mascara on your bottom lashes as well if you really want your eyes to stand out.
3. Apply a shiny lip gloss to draw attention to your lips. This could be a clear shade of lip gloss, or a tinted one in a shade like light pink or red. Apply a layer of the lip gloss over your lips beforehand, making sure the gloss is spread evenly.
   • Purchase lip gloss in your favorite shade from a drugstore or big box store.
   • If you have fair skin, a light pink or nude lip gloss would look great, and if you have darker skin then darker shades like red would look good on your lips.
4. Style your hair so it has added volume. When you give your hair more volume, it’s often seen as more attractive and cute. Try curling your hair using a curling iron, blow drying your hair, or using a volumizing product.
   • Big, loose curls are great for adding volume to your hairstyle.
   • If you just want to change up your hairstyle by getting an entirely new look, schedule a hair appointment to get it cut.
5. Have a unique perfume scent to make yourself memorable. Pick out a perfume that smells nice but isn’t overpowering. Spray the perfume at the top of your head or the back of your neck for a subtle scent that will get the attention of your ex, crush, or boyfriend whenever they're near you.
   • If you’re not a fan of perfume, just using a shampoo with a nice scent will also work well.
   • Test out perfumes to find one you like at your local drugstore, big box store, or beauty store.

Giving off Positive Body Language

1. Look confident by paying attention to your posture. Stand up tall with your chest pushed out slightly and your shoulders relaxed. Try to avoid things like crossing your arms or slouching when you’re walking or standing. Making sure you have great posture will make you appear approachable and confident.
   • Try to avoid leaning against the wall when you’re standing around talking to friends.
   • Keep your back straight and your shoulders relaxed when you’re sitting as well.
2. Give them a smile to look friendly and inviting. Smiling is one of the easiest ways to look cuter and more approachable. Whenever you’re around your ex, crush, or boyfriend, smile after making eye contact, trying to keep your smile as genuine and natural as possible.
   • Having white teeth will enhance your smile as well⁠—use a teeth whitening kit or a DIY at-home remedy like baking soda to make your teeth a little whiter if desired.
3. Make eye contact with them to establish a connection. Try to catch their attention by locking eyes for just a few seconds. While you don’t want to stare at them, making eye contact will make sure your crush is paying attention to you and makes you look more confident in yourself.
   • If your ex, crush, or boyfriend catches you looking at them, hold their gaze for a second or two and then smile before looking away.
   • Try not to look at them for more than 3 seconds at a time, or they might just think you’re staring.
   • Feel free to strike up a friendly conversation—even just saying "Hi" will make you look more confident!
4. Put your phone down to avoid looking uninterested. While having your phone out to look at might make you feel less awkward, it’s best to keep the phone in your pocket or purse while you’re in front of your ex, crush, or boyfriend. This shows that you’re engaged in what’s going on around you instead of being distracted.
   • It’s okay to look at your phone for a second or two, but try to keep it out of sight while it’s not being used.
5. Be your authentic self! You’re more confident when you’re not trying to act differently for another person. Just be yourself and show your authentic personality, whether that’s through wearing your favorite outfit, being goofy, or talking about your favorite hobbies or interests.
   • Don’t feel the need to dress up in certain clothes or act a certain way just because you think your ex, crush, or boyfriend would like you better for doing so.

Tips

• Paint your nails to make your fingers or toes look prettier.
• If you're talking to your ex or a crush, try to stick to positive small talk topics.
• Stay hygienic by showering regularly, brushing your teeth, and wearing deodorant to make sure you're smelling and feeling fresh.
• If you're feeling nervous about being around an ex, crush, or boyfriend, bring a couple friends with you to boost your confidence.
