Read on to learn about the best ways to make your physical appearance shine.

Part 1 of 3: Choosing a hairstyle

1. Know the hottest trends. Browse hairstyles magazines and fashion magazines to get an idea of ​​which hairstyles and hair colors are the most popular right now. This is not the only thing to consider when choosing your hairstyle, but it will give you an idea of ​​what to start with.
   • Hairstyles magazines are very useful because they contain all kinds of hairstyles of different lengths.
   • Trends come and go, so think carefully when choosing a hairstyle just because it is currently in fashion.
   • Even though you shouldn't choose a haircut just because it's hip now, you can get a sense of styles you really don't want, and hairstyles that are already outdated.
   • Men may have a harder time finding fashion and hairstyles that contain men's hairstyles, but they do exist. If you can't find a magazine, check the internet for pictures of current fashion in men's haircuts.
2. Know your hair texture. You may like a particular hairstyle on someone else, but that doesn't mean it will look the same on you. Your hair texture plays an important role in this. Straight hair and curls need to be styled differently, just like fine hair and thick hair.
   • The four main textures are straight, wavy, curly, and frizzy. This applies to both men and women.
   • Within each category, that hair can be fine, medium or thick. This also applies to both men and women.
   • In general, straight hairstyles look best on women with fine to medium hair, especially if they already have naturally straight hair. On the other hand, women with this type of hair usually don't have hair that will hold curls properly.
   • For women, straight hair is difficult to curl and curly or frizzy hair is difficult to straighten. You can style your hair in those ways, but that requires a lot of extra work with minimal results.
   • For women: If you have fine hair, look for styles that allow you to add volume to your hair through layering or texture. Avoid slick hairstyles or hairstyles that require a lot of products to keep your hair in shape. If you have medium thick hair, you can usually choose from many different hairstyles. If you have thick hair, look for a style that can be thinned, and avoid styles that add volume or texture.
   • For men, if you have thin hair, consider a short rather than a long haircut. With a short haircut it is not so noticeable that your hair is thin, but with longer hair, thin spots are more noticeable. Frizzy hair is also easier to tame when it is short. Men with waves or curls can wear their hair at different lengths. Shorter haircuts make your curls easier to control, and longer hair can be beautiful, but it requires more maintenance.
3. Choose a hairstyle that suits your face. Every face has a different shape, and the shape of your face determines which hairstyle suits you well. Choose a hairstyle that suits your face shape for the best results.
   • Round face: Women should choose an uneven haircut with lots of layers to make your face appear longer. If you want a short cut, avoid "round" styles like the traditional bob and stick to a sophisticated pixie cut or a frayed bob. Men should get a haircut that lengthens the forehead while leaving enough hair on the sides of the face.
   • Oval face: Women should try to break the length of the face by adding details like blunt or oblique bangs. Men should not take bangs if they have this face shape and leave as much of their face uncovered as possible.
   • Square face: Women should choose a haircut that rounds out their face, such as a classic bob, as it softens sharp corners. Do not get a haircut that adds too much volume. Men should wear their bangs off their faces to avoid extra angles in an already angular face. They should also not wear a part in the middle.
   • Heart-shaped face: Women should choose a medium to long hairstyle that is slightly narrower towards the top and wider towards the bottom to balance the heart shape. Men can opt for a slightly longer hairstyle that extends beyond the jaw so that they can put some emphasis on the underside of the face.

Part 2 of 3: Choosing the right clothes

1. Emphasize your best features and cover up the lesser ones. Both men and women struggle with their body image, and you too will likely have parts of your body that you are less happy with. Draw attention to those parts by emphasizing positive features with details.
   • As a general rule, wear dark colors to make wider areas narrower. Light colors are eye-catchers, so you should wear them on parts of your body that you like.
   • Don't wear prints where you feel insecure. Prints and patterns draw attention, so wearing them on parts of the body you want to hide will backfire.
   • Choose the right size. This is especially important for women, but it applies to both sexes. Loose, oversized garments look untidy and make you fatter than you actually are.
   • Women should pay particular attention to their body type. There are roughly five body types: hourglass, pear (or triangle), apple (or round), inverted triangle and rectangle (or straight). Check out the internet for the best ways to dress depending on your body type. Normally, you choose clothes that emphasize the thinner areas, enhancing your curves and balancing your overall appearance.
2. Wear colors that match your skin tone. Skin tone can be divided into "cool" and "warm". While you don't have to limit yourself to a range of colors just based on your skin tone, some colors suit your skin better than others.
   • A cool skin tone has pink undertones, while a warm skin tone has yellow or olive undertones.
   • People with a cool skin tone should choose colors from the blue end of the spectrum. Most blues go well with cool skin tones, as do blues-greens and purples. Light pink also works well, as does vibrant orange, which actually works as a complementary contrast. As for neutrals, try black, gray, silver, and stark white.
   • People with warm skin tones should take colors from the red end of the spectrum. Most yellows and reds look nice on people with warm skin, as do yellow-green and red-purple. Brown, beige, gold, copper, and cream white are the best neutral colors.
3. Use makeup to emphasize your beauty, not hide yourself. This advice especially applies to women.Cosmetics are a powerful tool, but you should use makeup gently and in such a way that it enhances your beauty. Never try to hide behind your makeup.
   • Apply a light foundation and blush close to your skin tone, even if your skin is actually lighter or darker than you'd like. Liven up your skin by applying some blush and bronzer, which are no more than two shades darker than your own skin tone.
   • Use concealer as needed, but only apply a thin layer and not a thick pancake.
   • Choose a characteristic that you want to emphasize and focus on it. Usually these are the eyes or the lips. Make one of these features stand out and leave the other alone so that you don't get an overwhelming look.
   • During the day, apply soft, subtle eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. Save the dramatic eye make-up for the evening.
   • The same goes for the lipstick. Choose a subtle lip gloss or lipstick during the day and a more striking color for the evening.
4. Know the latest trends, but don't stick to them too strictly. Be aware of the latest trends so that you don't wear clothes that are terribly out of fashion, but know that trends come and go. Wear a style you like and skip the things you don't like.
   • This does not require a great deal of research. You can take a look at a website about fashion or in a magazine, but you can also see which styles are "in" just by looking on TV, on the street or in the shops.
   • Build your wardrobe around a few classic pieces that never go out of style. Limit yourself to an occasional trendy item of clothing, but be prepared to throw something away if it's dated again after a few years.
5. Wear glasses that match your face. Your face shape is just as important when choosing glasses as it is when choosing a hairstyle.
   • Round face: Choose a frame with sharp corners and edges, such as a rectangle or a flared frame. Do not choose narrow or small frames.
   • Oval face: Most frames go well with this face shape. Round frames enhance your curves, while geometric shapes balance your curves. Avoid oversized frames.
   • Square face: Consider oval or round frames to soften the edges of your face, but avoid squares and geometric shapes as they give even more angles.
   • Heart-shaped face: Choose a frame that is heavier at the bottom, and avoid models that emphasize the top. Also, don't choose decorated frames. Instead, choose a narrow frame so that there is as little emphasis on your forehead as possible.
6. Wash your clothes regularly. Clothes that have been washed, dried, and ironed look better than dirty clothes that have been left on a mountain in the corner of your room for a week. Whatever clothes you choose, make sure they are in good condition and you will look the best.

Part 3 of 3: Personal care

1. Clean your skin. Wash your face once or twice a day with a suitable facial cleanser.
   • If you have dry skin, wash your skin once a day. Use a gentle cleanser for sensitive skin so that it doesn't get drier than it already is, then apply plenty of moisturizer afterward.
   • If you have oily skin, you may want to wash your face twice a day. Use a gentle facial cleanser in the morning and evening. Scrub your face every week.
   • Do not use regular body soap. Soap for your skin is stronger than most facial cleansers, so it can dry out your facial skin.
   • If you have acne, you may need to use a cleanser from your doctor. Talk to your doctor or dermatologist for tips.
2. Wash your hair. Most people wash their hair every other day to make sure it doesn't get too greasy and dry.
   • If you wash your hair every day, it can dry out. This will damage your hair in the long run. In the short term, it will look more fluffy and brittle.
   • Underwashing your hair can make it look limp and greasy.
   • Use shampoo, conditioner and other care products for your hair type. If you are having a hard time keeping your hair looking shiny and healthy, talk to your hairdresser for advice.
3. Do you wash regularly. In addition to washing your face and hair, you should also wash your body regularly. Shower every day or every other day.
   • Wash with warm water and soap. You can use a shower gel or a bar of soap.
   • After showering, apply body lotion, focusing on areas that get rough quickly like your knees and elbows. By applying immediately after showering, your skin retains moisture. Lotion prevents your skin from drying out.
4. Shave if necessary. Men need to groom their facial hair, and women usually need to shave their underarms and legs.
   • Men can look good with facial hair, but if you decide to let your beard grow, you need to take good care of and trim it. Keep your beard or mustache from looking unkempt, and if your facial hair looks too thin, shave it off.
   • Women usually get away without shaving in the colder months, but as soon as you have short sleeves and bare legs you should start again. Shave every few days during the warm months to keep it up and avoid stubble.
5. Take care of your teeth. Brush your teeth at least twice a day to keep them nice and white.
   • Brush your teeth every morning and evening. You can also brush again after lunch at noon, if you want. Use a toothpaste for cavities. You can also use a whitening toothpaste, although some people find that it makes your teeth more sensitive.
   • Floss your teeth to prevent cavities. Consider having floss with you at all times, in case something gets stuck between your teeth when you are not home.
   • Ask your dentist for advice on commercial whitening strips if you want to whiten your teeth. He or she may be able to recommend a particular brand to you.

Tips

• Know that a positive attitude is just as important as your physical appearance when it comes to looking good. Smile often and make eye contact when talking to people. Sit and walk upright and speak and move in a way that conveys confidence.
• Take care of your body. Get enough sleep to prevent puffiness and to have a fresh, alert appearance. Stay hydrated and eat plenty of healthy foods so that your weight, skin, hair, and overall appearance are at their best.
• Diet and exercise more if necessary. If you want to lose some weight, you need to eat a healthy, balanced diet and make sure you are taking in fewer calories than you burn. However, never starve yourself. That is bad for your health and you can even gain weight because you will retain water.
• Practice talking positively about yourself. A good way to build confidence is to stand in front of the mirror and tell yourself you look good. It may feel strange at first, but after a while it becomes easier to convince yourself that you look good, and you can convince others more easily.
