To step

Part 1 of 5: Hair care

  1. Get a new haircut. One of the most important things that can make you feel good about yourself is your hair. The main thing is to choose the right haircut and color. Get a new haircut first.
    • At a oval face suits just about any hairstyle - from super short to long and full. You're in luck, because hairdressers say this is the most versatile face shape. Try a hairstyle that shows off your face, such as updos or side bangs. However, be careful with a haircut that hides your entire face, such as straight, thick bangs.
    • If you have a square face, you should get a haircut that gives the illusion that your face is longer. Choose a style that falls just below your chin. Avoid hairstyles that fall down to the chin or just above it. Don't get straight bangs either, as that emphasizes the angularity of your face. It can be very nice to soften the edges around the face. Messy layering and lots of texture soften the sharp edges. Curls or waves make your strong jawline more feminine.
    • People with round face should also try to make the face appear a bit longer. Hairstyles should fall below the chin because if your hair is shorter, your face will appear even rounder. Avoid hairstyles that frame the face or round bangs. If you have short hair, ask your hairdresser to layer it. Shoulder length hair often looks very beautiful.
    • A heart shape face needs a haircut that balances the width of the forehead with the narrow chin. Therefore, choose a hairstyle that makes your forehead appear narrower and your chin fuller. Bangs are beautiful, especially if you have a high forehead, but they should not be cut straight. Drop some tufts around the face at the chin, or go for a layered style with some volume at the bottom to make your face appear fuller where it should. Avoid straight, thin hairstyles that fall straight across the face, as they emphasize the narrow jawline. A center part emphasizes a pointed chin, so try a side part.
  2. If you want a dramatic change, dye your hair. All hair colors are suitable for pale skin. Do not take shades of red or gold if your skin is pink. Then stick to ash shades to neutralize the color. Don't choose yellows, golds or oranges if your skin is yellowish. Then stick to dark red. Dark hair tones look good with olive-colored or dark skin.
  3. Use the right hair care products. The best way to choose the right products is to consider your hair type. For example, if you have oily hair, choose products for oily hair. If you have dry hair, choose hair products for dry hair. For the best results, always choose products that have been specially developed for your hair type, whatever hair type you have. It's also a good idea to go to the hairdresser regularly to keep your hair in perfect condition.

Part 2 of 5: Skincare

  1. Start with a skincare routine. When you're talking about your skin, you're talking about your whole body! So get started today to take good care of it.
    • It is very important to drink a lot of water! Water flushes toxins from your body, leaving your skin looking clean. Also stock up on a lot of vegetables! Fruits and vegetables are essential for beautiful, glowing skin.
    • Take off your make-up every night before you go to sleep. Your skin must be able to breathe at night and if you often sleep with make-up on, you will get pimples. Exfoliate your skin once a week. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells and blackheads. If you exfoliate weekly, your skin will stay healthy and soft.
    • Always moisturize your skin before going to bed and in the morning after washing; then your skin remains soft and smooth.
    • Move! By exercising daily, your skin remains pure because more oxygen is transported through your body. A good reason to finally get into those jogging shoes, right?
  2. Protect your skin from the sun. This is very important. Apply sunscreen (minimum factor 30) to your skin 20 to 30 minutes before you go outside. Remember that fair skin burns faster than dark. So determine how much you need. A guideline for how much to use is about the amount of a large coin for your face and neck, and two tablespoons for your entire body.

Part 3 of 5: Make-up

  1. Go for tasteful make-up. Make-up should beautify your face, but not cover it. To be fair, that's what a lot of people do. Try a good concealer for blemishes or light acne.
  2. Don't overdo it with eye makeup. Choose shades that enhance the color of your eyes while not overwhelming your eyes. Start with neutral tones. Neutral shades suit almost any skin tone and provide a great foundation for creating highlights that match the color of your eyes. Here are examples of colors you can try based on your eye color: Green eyes: earth tones (just about any shade of brown, taupe, ivory, chocolate), gold, bronze, copper, dark red, pink, and purple. Blue eyes: metallic (gold, copper and bronze), taupe, mauve and purple. Don't choose turqoise or aqua as it can curse your eyes. Brown eyes: pink, peach, coral, gold, green, blue, dark purple, brown, champagne and lilac. Most colors go well with brown eyes.
  3. Accentuate your cheeks. Here are 4 steps to get beautiful cheeks regardless of your skin tone:
    • Step 1. Apply a peach-colored cream / mousse on the apples of your cheeks (peach looks great on any skin tone) starting right below your pupil up to your hairline. Top it with a peach powder blush. If you use these two products together, the color will last longer!
    • Step 2. Contour the sides of your face and the hollows of your cheeks with a matte bronzer or powder 2 to 3 shades darker than your skin. Remember, you want to create the illusion that the apples of your cheeks are casting this shadow. This not only narrows your face, but also gives you a healthy glow.
    • Step 3. Highlight your cheekbones first with a cream highlighter, topped with a glossy mineral powder highlighter (again, the effect will last longer). Apply just enough so that you get a soft glow that makes your cheekbones appear a bit more prominent, but not so much that it looks like a thick placard.
    • Step 4. Use a thick brush to blend all three colors together.
  4. Tidy up your eyebrows. If you feel you have eyebrows that are too thick or thin, this step can help. Buy an eyebrow brush; with that you can comb your eyebrows into shape. If you can handle the pain and have a little money for it, you can have your eyebrows plucked by a beautician, but if you can't, just follow these tips. The biggest mistake many people make is pulling out too many hairs. If you pull out too much, it can take months for the hairs to return. Here's a simple trick to keep things from going wrong: The space between the two eyebrows should be equal to or slightly wider than your eyes. The best eyebrows have a nice arch. Clean your skin well. Gently scrub your eyebrows. If you are afraid of the pain, you can first numb the skin a little with an ice cube. Brush your brows up and out. The top and bottom should be smooth. So be very careful and pluck both above and below your eyebrows.
  5. Use the correct shade of lipstick or lip gloss. A lipstick that is one or two shades darker than your natural lip color is the best, according to makeup artist Bobbi Brown. To test the shade, put the lipstick or lip gloss on one lip. If that shade is one or two shades darker than your other lip, it is the right shade. But always make sure to put lip balm or petroleum jelly on your lips before applying any color so that your lips look good and stay hydrated.
  6. Apply eyeliner. Decide what type of eyeliner you want. An eye pencil gives a soft line and is easy to apply. A gel or liquid eyeliner gives a more dramatic effect, but requires precision and patience. A self-sharpening, smudge-proof eyeliner that glides well on the lid is probably the easiest to find and use. Use white eyeliner or a light silver or gold shade to make your eyes look bigger, in addition to your regular eyeliner, or with mascara alone. Apply the white eyeliner to the waterline of your eye. Let it fade with your finger or a brush for a more subtle effect. Choose an eyeliner that matches your eye color. Brown or dark purple is beautiful with brown eyes, taupe and green are good with green eyes, sand or deep brown makes blue eyes shine and if you have speckled eyes choose the color you want to bring out, or take black if you want all want to make colors stand out at the same time.

Part 4 of 5: Body

  1. Exercise and eat healthy. Regular exercise is very important if you want to stay healthy. One of the things most girls worry about is their buttocks. If you want a shapely butt, you can get it by training your butt muscles. If you think your butt is a bit too fat, you will need to lose some body fat first. The fastest way to do that is with cardio training, strength training and healthy eating. Do strength training at least 3 times a week. When doing this, be sure to choose glute exercises. These are, for example, hip extensions, leg presses, lunges, and squats. Do three sets of 10 reps of each exercise. Eat the right foods such as: fruits, lean fish, lean meats, nuts, whole grains and vegetables.
  2. Make sure you get plenty of rest. If you do not get enough rest, the body cannot repair itself and blood flow deteriorates, causing the skin to receive less oxygen and nutrients. This makes your skin look dull and gray, you get pimples and dark circles under your eyes. Therefore always take a beauty sleep. However, try not to disrupt your normal sleep rhythm. Take a nap on the weekend, but never longer than 4 hours. Otherwise you will disrupt your sleep rhythm and you will not be rested when you have to go back to school or work. So don't sleep too much.

Part 5 of 5: Fashion

  1. Refresh your wardrobe. How do you feel when you open your closet door and you see your clothes hanging or lying in front of you? Do you get overwhelmed because you see all kinds of ill-fitting blouses, frayed pants and old-fashioned dresses with the price tags still attached? If you really don't like most of the things in your closet, it's time for a new wardrobe.The next time you go shopping with friends, browse a fashion magazine, or watch TV, look for outfits that you like. Develop your own style and pay attention to when you absolutely love someone's clothes. Once you know what you want (romantic, artistic, sporty, etc.) you can start looking for clothes that match your new style.
  2. Dive into accessories. Belts, jewelery and bags are clearly on trend, so if you haven't replaced them in a long time, chances are they are out of style. The good news is that accessories are generally not that expensive, so replacing them can instantly revitalize your entire wardrobe.
  3. Don't forget your shoes! Shoes can make or break your outfit, so make sure to replace them in time. Choosing heels will make you appear taller and look more feminine and elegant. While you're at it, buy a pair of bright red pumps to go with your short black dress.
