If you learn to be more confident and change your appearance to one that suits your inner self better, then you can feel completely different and believe in your own beauty!

Steps

Part 1 of 4: Taking care of yourself

1. 1 Drink plenty of water. Drinking enough water helps maintain concentration and energy, and it can also help you shed a few extra pounds.To calculate the volume of water you need daily, you need to remember that for each kilogram of your weight, you need to consume at least 30 ml of water.
   • A woman weighing 68 kg should drink 2 to 4 liters of water daily (the specific amount depends on the surrounding climate and the level of human activity). If a woman leads an active lifestyle and lives in a hot climate, then her daily need for water will be closer to 4 liters.
2. 2 Eat right. Avoid excess sugar, salt, and highly processed foods. Your diet should include the following ingredients.
   • Proteins. Healthy sources of protein include fish, white meat, legumes, nuts, and eggs.
   • Healthy fats. Nuts (especially almonds), vegetable oils (extra virgin olive oil is a great option), and fatty vegetables like avocados are great sources of healthy fats.
   • Whole, unprocessed carbohydrates. These include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
   • Vitamins and minerals. They can be taken in supplement form if you know your diet is not providing you with all the vitamins and minerals you need.
3. 3 Listen to your own body. Drink when you are thirsty and eat when you are hungry. It may take a while to learn how to listen to your body's signals if you haven't paid attention to them before, but once you get the hang of it, it will be easier for you to stick to a healthy diet and maybe even lose some weight.
   • If you have eaten or drunk something that caused you a headache or discomfort, pay attention to it and try not to consume this product in the future, especially if its use regularly causes discomfort.
   • Pay attention to the foods and drinks that make you feel good. Eating a clean diet with enough water and essential nutrients can help you become a healthier and happier person. When you feel healthier and happier, then at the same time a feeling of your own beauty will come to you.
4. 4 Regularly exercise. You should get at least 30 minutes of physical activity 3-5 times a week, and even more if you want to lose weight.
   • If you have little free time, then it is best to pay attention to exercises that simultaneously pump several muscle groups at once. So, swimming, dancing and even active cleaning of the house will allow you to work out a large number of muscles.
   • Another effective way to stay fit and healthy is to take brisk, 20-minute walks, twice a day.
   • Yoga classes are also excellent at relieving stress, strengthening and toning muscles. Just remember to combine them with cardio exercises like walking, running or swimming.
5. 5 Practice good hygiene. Wash and moisturize your face and brush your teeth twice a day. Take a shower at least every other day and wash your hair when your hair starts to grease (this may be required every other day or once a week, as it all depends on the type of hair).
   • If you have acne on your face or back, you may need to wash your hair more often, as oils from your hair can carry over to your face, neck and back, thereby causing acne breakouts.
   • To keep your teeth healthy and strong, you must visit your dentist every six months.
   • Good hygiene will help you feel fresh and attractive every day. Try to pay attention to yourself every day, even if you are not in the mood.
6. 6 Keep a daily journal. Regular journaling can reduce anxiety, stress, and depression. It helps to analyze problems and build self-esteem. Try to devote 20 minutes a day to your journal.
   • Keep a journal even if you have nothing to say. You can write that you have nothing to say and see where the thought takes you next. Often, something immediately pops up in memory, sometimes it even turns out to be something unexpected.
7. 7 Regularly meditate. Meditation helps you feel connected to the present moment and understand your own feelings. It is scientifically proven that meditation affects brain processes, makes you smarter and happier.
   • There are many different methods of meditation. One of the most common methods is to adopt a comfortable sitting position and withdraw from any thoughts.
   • When a thought comes to you during meditation, just imagine how it dissolves, or you can even give this thought a name and imagine how you sweep it out of your own head. The purpose of meditation is to concentrate on the current moment in which you are, and not be distracted by any thoughts.
   • There is no need to immediately start long meditations. For a start, just 1-2 minutes will be enough. Ideally, over time, you should come to 10-15 minutes of daily meditation. If this is not possible, then do what you are able to do!
8. 8 Be optimistic. Most people have an inner voice that often sees bad in everything and says that a person is not good enough at something. You can fight this with a grateful attitude to fate and highlighting the positive aspects of what is happening.
   • Learning to be positive can be tricky, so be patient and try to reflect positive thoughts as they arise.
   • The physical trick to creating a positive attitude is to take the right posture: stand up straight, straighten your shoulders, lift your chin up, and then spread your arms out to the sides. Feel at this moment your own strength and optimism, and these feelings will remain with you longer than usual.
9. 9 Smile. Research has shown that the happier you look, the more attractive you are to other people. Plus, research shows that even in times of sadness, smiling can cheer you up.
   • If you're upset, try smiling for 30 seconds to recharge yourself.
10. 10 Be confident. Gaining self-confidence is easier in words than in deeds, but it’s worth working on nonetheless. Having good self-esteem will make you healthier and happier, which will automatically make you more attractive.
    • One way to build self-esteem is to list your strengths, accomplishments, and positive traits. This will seem like a very daunting task at first. You may only have one item in each category, and even they may come to your mind after hours of thinking. However, as your self-esteem grows, the list you create will gradually grow.
    • Fight negative thoughts. This is strongly associated with a positive attitude. Stop yourself when you have negative thoughts about yourself and dispel them with positive thoughts. For example, when the thought "I am fat" or "I am scary" is born in you, develop it by saying to yourself the phrase "I have a beautiful ass" or "I have beautiful eyes."
11. 11 Get enough sleep. If you don't get enough sleep, your brain will not function at full efficiency and you will have difficulty following a healthy diet, getting exercise, and maintaining a positive attitude and self-confidence.
    • Adults need 7-9 hours of sleep a night, while teenagers need 8.5-9.5 hours.

Part 2 of 4: Changing your hairstyle

1. 1 Cut and / or color your hair. Whether it's a new haircut or a different color of hair, changing the look of your hair can dramatically affect your overall appearance. Think about the hairstyles and hair color that would suit you best.
   • Ask yourself, what should your hair say about you? Are you outgoing and risk-taking? In that case, you might like a short haircut and multi-colored hair. Are you a more down-to-earth person and a bit of a hippie? Natural colors and long layered haircuts may work for you.
   • Check out hair magazines or search the internet to find out what hairstyles you like. You can find magazines and books on hairstyles at most bookstores.
2. 2 Determine your face type. When changing your hairstyle, it is important to consider the shape of your face. There are several types of faces. One method of determining your face type is to outline the contours of its reflection in the mirror with lipstick or eyeliner.
   • Oval faces look balanced and are widest in the center.
   • Square faces have the same width in the eyebrows, cheeks, and jaw.
   • The triangular faces are widened at the bottom and have a prominent jawline.
   • Heart-shaped faces (in the shape of an inverted triangle) have a small chin and wide cheekbones.
   • Round faces look like a fairly regular circle.
   • Diamond-shaped faces are slightly angular and wider in the cheekbones than in the eyebrows and jaw.
   • The elongated faces are almost the same in width from the forehead to the jaw, which makes them look longer.
3. 3 Determine Which Hairstyle Is Best For Your Face Type. To keep your hair looking its best, choose a hairstyle based on your face type.
   • Most haircuts work for oval faces, however, hairstyles that accentuate the length can make the face look elongated.
   • Square faces work best with hair lengths below the jawline. Wearers of such faces should especially avoid haircuts in which the hair ends at the jaw line, as this makes the face even more square. You should also avoid hairstyles with crisp straight lines, such as a bob or straight bangs. Side-swept bangs and wavy or layered hair framing your face are a good choice.
   • Short haircuts work well for triangular faces, balancing a powerful jaw and adding volume to the upper part of the head. If you prefer long hair, it is important that it is longer than the jaw line, otherwise the face will appear too full at the bottom.
   • Heart-shaped faces work well with chin-length flaky haircuts (bobs work very well for them). Wearers of this type of face should avoid thick bangs and short haircuts, as this may make the face appear too massive at the top. A tight ponytail and other slicked-back hairstyles can accentuate a small chin and should be avoided as well.
   • For round faces, asymmetrical and layered haircuts go to help balance the width of the face. With this type of face, chin-length haircuts and straight bangs can make the face look fuller, and the same goes for the center parting in the hair. Nonetheless, an off-center parting and side-slanted bangs will look good!
   • Diamond-shaped faces work well with hairstyles that are quite curvy on the sides, but not at the top. In other words, high hairstyles should be avoided in this case. Bangs and puff haircuts that frame the face are suitable for this type of face. However, it is required to avoid creating central parting in the hairstyle.
   • Oval faces can appear elongated, so the hairstyle should break up the length of the face. However, you should avoid wearing hair that is too long. A bob haircut, puff haircut and straight bangs will look good with this type of face.
4. 4 Think about hair coloring. Hair coloring is one way to add drama to your look. Before dyeing your hair, you should think about which hair color will best suit your skin tone and eyes.
   • Skin tone and eye color can work with many hair shades, but not all. For example, warm skin tones work well with reddish hues like strawberry. But pink or bluish skin tones will look better with cooler, brighter reds.
   • Choosing a hair color that is closer to your skin tone and eye color will make your look more natural. An example is the image of a "beach lover" with sandy hair, tanned skin and blue eyes.
   • The stronger the contrast between your hair and your skin tone and eye color, the more dramatic your look will be. For example, pale skin, green eyes and rich, vibrant brown hair would make a very impressive combination.
   • If you're not sure what your skin tone is, try some online tests that suggest matching your hair color.
5. 5 Monitor the health of your hair. Wash your hair as needed and use a shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair type (for example, colored, normal, oily hair, etc.). Depending on the type of hair, you can wash it from once every two days to once a week. The drier your hair, the less often it needs to be washed.
   • If you have dry and damaged hair, apply a deep penetration conditioner weekly. An easy-to-make home remedy for this purpose is a mixture of olive oil, two egg yolks, avocado, mayonnaise, and hair conditioner. The prepared mixture is left on the hair for several hours (even overnight).
   • If you have dandruff or other hair problems, avoid using home remedies. Instead, use specialized tools designed to fix your problem. If your hair problem is serious, see your trichologist or dermatologist.

Part 3 of 4: Apply Makeup

1. 1 Learn to do natural makeup. Applying natural makeup means highlighting the features you already possess. The presence of natural make-up does not imply minimal use of cosmetics. You can also use foundation, blush, mascara, eyeshadow and lipstick with it. ...
   • Makeup can be used to smooth skin (with foundation or concealer), lengthen lashes (with mascara), visually lift the cheekbones (blush or contour correctors), and augment the lips (lip contour and lipstick).
   • As an example, it can be mentioned that the application of the popular makeup with a wet skin effect requires the use of a large amount of makeup.
   • If you are not very comfortable wearing makeup but want to improve the appearance of your skin, try using a tinted moisturizer or clear powder. This will help improve the overall look of your skin without heavy makeup or oiliness.
2. 2 Use eye makeup to highlight your eyes. You can apply a variety of eyeliner and eye shadow colors to make your eyes really stand out.
   • If you have blue eyes, use natural tones such as coral and champagne. Dark smoky eyeliner can overshadow your eyes, so it's best to experiment with this type of makeup at home before going out with it.
   • Gray or gray-blue eyes look good with dark and smoky shades of gray, blue, and silver.
   • Green eyes are perfect for subdued purples and shimmery browns.
   • Light brown or brown-green eyes will look good with metallic and pastel shades. Pale pink, muted copper and golden eyeshadows go well with light brown eyes.
   • Kareem suits most shades and types of makeup. Neutral shades of orangey pink and golden bronze look good with them. For smoky makeup, you can add some black eye shadow in the form of arrows at the outer corners of the eyes.
   • Popular smoky eye makeup involves mixing 2-3 tones of eye shadow on the eyelids to create a gradient color transition (usually from dark to light in the direction from the eyelid to the eyebrows).
3. 3 Wear lipstick. Lipstick is a great way to highlight your lips and make your look more expressive. At the same time, the red color of lipstick is one of the most popular. Anyone can use it. The secret lies only in choosing the right shade of red that will suit your skin tone.
4. 4 Apply a lip liner. Apply lip contour before using lipstick to keep it lasting longer. The lip liner can also be used to tweak the shape of the lips, making them plump or thinner, depending on what you want.
5. 5 Balance your makeup. Dramatically bright eye makeup combined with equally dramatically bright lips is generally not recommended as it can be overly provocative. If you, for example, have applied smoky makeup to your eyes, then make your lips more neutral.
   • If you wear red lipstick, the rest of your makeup should be relatively calm. The classic combination is red lipstick and cat-eye makeup.
   • Similar rules apply to balancing hair color and makeup. For example, fiery red hair can limit the color options for a lipstick that's right for you.
6. 6 Think about applying contour makeup. Contouring involves the use of dark and light shades of foundation to visually change the look of your face. For example, with contouring makeup, you can visually reduce the nose and highlight the cheekbones.
   • Mastering the contouring technique takes some practice, but if you really don't like something about yourself, it's worth trying it.
7. 7 Remember to rinse off your makeup thoroughly. Cosmetics can irritate the skin and lead to acne. Thoroughly washing your face at the end of the day and removing any makeup residue will prevent this from happening.
   • To avoid acne breakouts, choose cosmetics that won't clog your pores. This will be discussed separately on the packaging of the makeup product. However, even when using this cosmetics, skin rashes may appear.
   • If you stain your eyes heavily, you may need a special eye makeup remover or coconut oil. With it, you can be guaranteed to completely remove eye makeup before bed.

Part 4 of 4: Finding the Perfect Clothes

1. 1 Find your own style. Browse the Internet to find the style you like the most. Base your opinion on what suits you and what will be comfortable for you to walk in. Consider your own personality traits and try to figure out how you can express them in your style of dress.
   • For example, if you are outgoing and prefer punk music, you can take inspiration from retro pictures of punk, if you are closer to normal people and only a little hippie, then you can look through old photos of people from the 60s and 70s. ...
   • Let your clothes speak for who you are. This implies that you should feel comfortable and great in your clothes, and not try to impersonate someone else.
2. 2 Find out your body type. Knowing your body type will help you dress in a way that highlights your best features and hides what you don't particularly like. The following describes an approach to determining the type of figure based on taking measurements.
   • Take a measuring tape to measure your body width at your shoulders, chest, waist, and hips. You may need an assistant to take your measurements.
   • Inverted triangle. This is your body type if your shoulders or chest are wider than your hips. Usually, the shoulders or chest are more than 5% wider than the hips.
   • Rectangle.This type of figure is observed if the shoulders, chest and hips are approximately the same width, and the waist line is practically absent. In this case, the discrepancy between the width of the shoulders, chest and hips should be within 5%, and the waist line should not deviate from the width of the shoulders or chest by more than 25%
   • Triangle. You belong to this type of figure if your hips are wider than your shoulders. In this case, the hips should be more than 5% wider than the shoulders or chest.
   • Hourglass. This is your body type if your shoulders and hips are about the same width and you have a pronounced waistline. The width of the shoulders and hips should deviate from each other by no more than 5%, and the waistline should be narrower than the width of the shoulders, chest and hips by more than 25%.
3. 3 Dress for your body type. After determining your body type, you will be able to choose the most suitable clothing for you.
   • Inverted triangle. The upper part of the garment should be simple enough and free of small details that can add volume to it. Leave some curvy detail for your bottom to give it a more voluminous effect, which will balance the figure. A simple v-neck top, wide waistband, and oversized trousers with a high waistline are examples of clothing that can work.
   • Rectangle. With this type of figure, the main goal is to highlight the waist line in order to bring its shape closer to the hourglass. To do this, it is necessary to wear the lower part of clothing with decorative elements that give the lower part of the body a light volume, and wear a top on top of the figure, accentuating the waist line. Avoid barrel-shaped clothing or clothing with eye-catching belts.
   • Triangle. This requires balancing the wider lower body (thighs and legs) by wearing clothing and accessories that add volume to the upper body and make the shoulders appear wider. Avoid adding volume to the lower half of the body and use simple, clean-cut clothing for the lower half without any embellishments.
   • Hourglass. Wear clothes that follow the lines of your body. Body-tight clothing is usually a good choice in this case, as it accentuates the natural beauty of your curves. Avoid wearing baggy clothes that hide your waistline, as this can make you appear bulkier.
4. 4 Consider your own height. In addition to the type of figure, when choosing clothes, you must take into account your height. In particular, you should pay attention to whether you have a longer torso or legs, as this will affect how you should dress.
   • If you have long legs, you can wear low-waist pants and elongated blouses or low-waist dresses to balance your body shape.
   • If you have short legs, then you should wear high-waisted skirts and trousers and shorter or tucked-in blouses to make your legs appear longer.
5. 5 Wear clothes that fit you. Regardless of the clothing you choose, it should fit well on you. Clothes that are too baggy or too tight will never look good and can reduce your self-confidence.

Tips

• Remain patient, especially if you are trying to lose weight through lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise. It may take a month or more before you can see the first results of a healthy lifestyle, but you will definitely see (and feel) these results!
• A great way to find the right style of clothing and hairstyle is to pay attention to celebrities, as these people are usually worked with professional stylists. Just always remember to bring something of your own into the style and not lose yourself.
• If you are concerned about the risks of dyeing your hair, consider naturally lightening or darkening your hair, or using henna.With the exception of henna, natural remedies can only change your hair color by a couple of tones, so don't expect drastic changes.
• If you're unsure of how to properly apply makeup, consider making an appointment with a makeup artist at a major online cosmetics store. Often, these services are provided free of charge in anticipation of your subsequent purchase of cosmetics.

Warnings

• Be aware that dyeing your hair can be dangerous, as dyes contain substances that can cause allergic reactions that can be fatal. For this reason, it is imperative to pre-test the dye 48 hours before dyeing the hair.
