Look Like Bella Swan from Twilight

Isabella Swan is the protagonist in the book Twilight series. She is most known for being admired by boys solely for her looks.

Steps

Clothing

  1. Keep the clothes loose. Bella's never seen in anything bright or tight, she prefers loose and stark. Some key pieces in your wardrobe should be colours such as black, brown, purple, green,blue, grey, cream, beige, and white.
    • Wear what she wears: boot cut jeans, skinny jeans, hoodies, denim jackets, hooded coats, knit hats, stripey tops, converse, comfy shoes, blouses, checked shirts with a plain vest underneath, some dressy clothes like a blue dress and shrug that she wore to the prom (If you wear uniforms try to wear pants and dark colored shirts with sneakers or flats) . For your pajamas wear a plain vest/ t-shirt and loose patterned bottoms.
  2. Try wearing neutral, colors for a simple, basic, yet flattering wardrobe. Go for subtle pieces that don't make people wonder what you are wearing. Try finding basic t-shirts, jeans and simple jackets.
  3. Have as little accessories as possible. Just have your iPod/mp3 player (she likes music), school books for studying, a laptop/computer, your camera (Charlie gave her one, Renee gave her a scrapbook), a plain school backpack in a block color, some gloves [not if you live in a really warm place], some thin headbands, not too much jewelry: a silver (moonstone) ring and some black bracelets, a charm bracelet maybe and, knowing Bella, some plasters.
  4. Always wear sneakers or converses. Bella doesn't like dressing up much, so maybe when you have to wear a dress and perhaps a lot of jewelry, tone it down with a cool, casual pair of converse.
  5. Choose Bella's colors. Bella likes the colors blue and purple, so you could try wearing a lot of those colors, although this is not a must.

Hair

  1. Wear your hair in a natural style. Bella always wears her hair naturally (straight in the book but wavy in the movie) wavy with a cute thin headband. Never curl or straighten your hair. But if you have curly hair then straighten it. At a special occasion maybe have it in a loose curly hair do. If you have straight hair leave it in a bun/plait overnight and you will wake up to natural waves, but this is bad for your hair because then it will lead to dandruff and downfall. If you have curls leave them down but if you have frizzy hair either use non-frizz products.
    • She also has brown hair so if you have medium brown, dark brown or light brown hair that will be fine. Dye it brown you want to look like Bella. Any brown color will work.
    • Bella has long, brown hair, but if you like your hair type then there is no real need to change that. The biggest thing is to stay away from over the top styles (don't go around everyday with a red carpet-worthy up-do or anything of the sort); keep it natural.
    • Drool-worthy waves are achievable with both a flat iron and a curling iron; but if you don't want heat to damage your hair, try tying your hair in buns after shampooing and conditioning your hair. After your hair has dried you should have gorgeous waves! However, don't sleep with wet hair because it increases chances of dandruff and hair fall.
    • Alternatively, wear your hair straight like Stephenie Meyer pictures Bella.

Makeup

  1. Keep makeup to a minimum. Bella doesn't wear much visible make-up so for your beauty regime, just brush your teeth (floss, use mouthwash), use face wash and apply moisturizer. If you need it apply a foundation that matches or is a shade lighter then your skin tone (remember to blend so it matches your neck). Apply a little bit of black/brown eyeliner (not like Jane's) and some black/brown/clear mascara (you could curl your eyelashes). Apply a clear/ beige/ light lip gloss or have nude lips but Bella usually has pink/dark pink lips so maybe just use a chapstick. Remember to remove your make-up at night with a face wash/ face wipes to avoid spots/pimples and if you get one don't pick at it just leave it and apply a little coat of concealer.
    • If you absolutely have to wear make-up, avoid things like primer, eye-shadow, lipstick, and eye-liner. Since Bella is very pale, don't go for bronzer, either (If you are dark-skinned then forget about trying to be pale, love your beautiful skin the way it already is). Instead, stick with small amounts of some basics, like:
    • A foundation in the same color of your skin tone, applied only in the places where you need it.
    • A concealer, applied over pimples and under the eyes.
    • A loose powder to prevent shiny skin. You can also carry blotting paper on the go if you wish.
  2. Wash well. Shaving is optional, moisturize body + put on a deodorant and light body spray. Bella always smells nice!
  3. Bite your nails. She bites her nails but that doesn't mean you should if you don't want to. Just keep them medium and natural.
    • Avoid nail polish.
  4. Have a signature fragrance. Bella's fragrance is nearly the main component in the first book and mentioned in all the others. She smells irresistible to vampires and slightly floral. You'll be surprised at the compliments you may get! Since Bella is basically a no-fuss person, go for crisp, clean scents. Musk is also the way to go. Go to your local mall to check out which scent is for you. Or if you want, you can apply a sweet-scented fragrance as in The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner she describes Bella's scent as "seriously sweet", but put on just a little.

Appearing like Bella

  1. Have low self esteem. Bella is a very shy, timid person, her dominant personality trait is low self-esteem, but be confident in yourself. Wear things that you feel comfortable and happy in although, in Twilight and part of New Moon, Isabella's look can be described as plain. In the books Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, Bella finds part of her feminine side.
  2. Walk gracefully. Bella may be clumsy, but it's a graceful kind of clumsy. Improve your posture by keeping your back straight and your chin up.

Tips

  • Bella also has clear skin, so make sure to take care of your skin by regularly washing it with a facial cream/cleanser and using a moisturizer.
  • Bella is also known to wear a little bit of eyeshadow. Get neutral or gray palettes and keep it light.
  • Mascara isn't really necessary, but if you have to, buy a clear mascara or a mascara in the same shade of your hair color so that it looks natural.
  • Keep an eye on Kristen Stewart (check red carpets and events that she attends, although red carpets won't help much because everyone dresses ridiculously); this natural beauty knows all the tips and tricks to having flawless skin, hair and style sense.
  • Note that Bella barely wears any make up, so opt for a light concealer/foundation but not to much, just enough to make your skin look clear and some lip balm. For your eyes, wear a light brown eye shadow and darker brown in the creases/the outer corners of the eye-lid, brown eyeliner around outside of eye, underneath and on top of the eye and brown-black mascara on top eyelashes also wear a bronze or pale pink blusher on the apples of your cheeks and following your cheek bones. You can do this by sucking in your cheeks and for the apples of your cheeks, smile.
  • Rad the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer; the books will give you a good idea of who Bella is.
  • Try not to be 'too loud or outspoken. Of course if you are naturally bubbly and outgoing please don't try to change that, but do watch what you say so that your new look doesn't overwhelm people!
  • Note that Bella isn't a girly girl in the first two books, but becomes partly one in the 3rd and fourth book.
  • Bella is not afraid to risk her life for the people she loves.
  • Try a few ringlets too. Bella's hair is mostly wavy but now and then you see some ringlets. It's your choice whether you want loose or tight ringlets it doesn't really matter, but in between is probably best.
  • Maybe you have red hair or blonde hair; remember, you can be yourself, you don't have to be exactly like her (unless you are being her for Halloween) if you've been planning to dye your hair anyway that's okay too. Be yourself and don't be afraid to be.
  • Bella mentions that her favorite shampoo is strawberry, so maybe try hunting down something like that.

Warnings

  • Try not to wear to much perfume or harsh smells, Bella wears soft and sweet smells.
  • Never wear clothes that make you feel uncomfortable.
  • Also try not to be as clumsy as her, you could do some serious damage.
  • Don't completely change your personality to become someone you are not. Getting wardrobe and makeup ideas from Bella Swan is okay, but trying to actually become Bella isn't staying true to who you really are.
