A person's charm does not only depend on his physical appearance, nor on his gender. If you want to become more attractive you have to start being more confident, choose a style that represents you and learn to take care of your look every day.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Develop Attractive Qualities

Step 1. Remove any negative thoughts

The secret to increasing your charm lies in the mind. Often people see themselves negatively and underestimate their own appearance and personality, and at that point others will also be affected by the same pessimistic view. First learn to accept yourself and push away your negative perceptions.

• Pay attention to the way you see yourself. Reflect on how you perceive and judge yourself. Can't stop belittling yourself, or putting labels on yourself? For example, do you feel useless, stupid, or do you hate your body and think you are undesirable? Why continue to set limits? None of this corresponds to reality, you are forcing yourself into categories to which you do not belong.
• Whenever you notice that you have negative thoughts, immediately replace them with positive ones. If you can't, at least try to be neutral, it's a first step to get out of negativity. For example, if you think you are ugly, get rid of the idea from your mind and try to be happy with your body, because you are in excellent health and are able to do many different activities.
• Avoid the company of negative people. The negatives are all those who think you should be different, and who scold you for every little flaw, or who put it into your head that you are "too fat" or "that you have too much unwanted hair". Remove these people from your life, their presence hinders your growth and your well-being: why stress unnecessarily?

Step 2. Build your self-esteem

Self-esteem is a special quality that manages to capture everyone's attention and is able to communicate your value to the world and the desire to win your place in the world. Believe in yourself and others will believe in you too.

• Avoid judging yourself. This doesn't mean becoming arrogant and being able to misbehave others, but just stop being too hard on yourself for every little thing. If you can't find a way, instead of accusing yourself and calling yourself stupid, just think that you are in the wrong direction.
• Avoid judging others. Your perception of others also affects your perception of yourself. Start developing positive, or at least neutral, thoughts about the people around you.
• Stop comparing yourself to other people. It's just a waste of time, because in your eyes everyone will be more attractive, more confident, and more deserving than you. Rather, learn to constantly improve yourself. The only comparison you can make is with yourself.

Step 3. Show your best qualities

Showing your skills and abilities is a way to make yourself attractive, it's not just the physical appearance that counts. At first, the right image does its part, but what makes a person truly fascinating is the possession of some important qualities, such as kindness, the ability to listen and so on.

• Learn to be kinder. Offer your help without expecting anything in return, for example, help your mother clean the house, or accompany a friend to the airport, even if you have to get up early in the morning to do so.
• Be respectful. You don't have to be too condescending to everyone, just learn to listen to others, consider different points of view and never jump to conclusions.
• Learn to be a good listener. People are attracted to those who demonstrate that they know how to listen and value others. While talking to someone, give them your full attention, make eye contact, avoid looking at your phone all the time, and ask pertinent questions.

Step 4. Follow a healthy lifestyle

Being fit is already a way to look attractive. Even if you have health problems, try to follow a healthy lifestyle, characterized only by good habits.

• Follow a proper diet. Consume lots of fruits and vegetables, carbohydrates from whole rather than refined foods, and protein.
• Get enough sleep. Sleeping well will not only help you be more physically attractive, but it is a very important factor in maintaining good health. Get at least eight hours of sleep a night and try not to fall asleep too late. Turn off all electronic equipment at least half an hour before going to bed.
• Get at least thirty minutes of exercise a day. Get used to movement, include it permanently in your routine. There is no need to go to the gym, you can walk for at least half an hour, or run, do yoga, or even dance to the rhythm of music.

Method 2 of 4: Improve Your Physical Appearance

Step 1. Find out what your skin type is and find the right skin care products

There are generally five types of skin: normal, oily, dry, sensitive and combination.

• Oily skin appears a little oily already a few hours after a shower. If you have oily skin, wash your face thoroughly in the morning and evening with a suitable cleanser. Completely removing the oily substance released from your skin is counterproductive and could lead to an increase in sebum secretion to compensate for the sudden absence.
• Dry skin tends to flake and crack. Wash with lukewarm water (it must not be excessively hot) and apply a moisturizer after a shower, when the skin is still a little damp. Dermatologists believe it is a good way to deeply hydrate the skin.
• Sensitive skin tends to get irritated easily and are particularly prone to itching, redness and allergic reactions. If your skin is sensitive, choose very delicate products, without fragrances or alcohol based. Always use a sunscreen (factor 30 and up) whenever you expose yourself to sunlight. Wash your face gently by massaging it with your hands.
• Combination skins have a balanced blend of different factors and are well hydrated, even without the annoying oily effect typical of oily skin.

Step 2. Get used to washing your face regularly

The face is the first thing you look at in a person, therefore it is advisable to take care of your skin every day. Clean the skin on your face in a simple way, without overdoing the use of the products, or you will get the opposite effect.

• It is good to wash your face twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, to remove impurities and excess sebum. If your skin is sensitive or dry, you may need to wash your face only once a day, or use specific soaps or creams for your type.
• Always choose the soaps and facial care products suitable for your skin type, also considering the possible frequent use of make-up or the extent of daily physical activity. For example, if you have oily skin, it is advisable to choose a soap with low pH levels, because it will be able to remove excess sebum better.

Step 3. Improve the health of your skin with physical activity

Movement helps to achieve the well-being of body and mind and can also improve the appearance of your skin. You will be able to reduce your stress and improve blood circulation, your skin will consequently be brighter. If you prefer outdoor activities, wear sunscreen during the hottest hours of the day.

Step 4. Improve the health of your skin through a balanced diet

Including at least five daily servings of fruit and vegetables will help you have more beautiful skin and a healthier body. What you consume affects your physical well-being and your outward appearance. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, is a healthy choice.

Also include probiotic foods in your diet, for example natural yogurt will help regulate digestive processes because it is rich in lactic ferments

Step 5. Take care of your smile

A bright smile makes everyone more attractive. Healthy white teeth are certainly more pleasant to look at and show that you can take care of yourself and your body, they are also a trump card in being able to impress a potential partner.

• Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Floss at least once a day, which is important for maintaining proper oral hygiene.
• Buy certified whitening products, or rather, entrust yourself to the care of your dentist. Color is not an essential feature for the health of your teeth, but it will make your smile brighter and more attractive. Carry out a routine dental check-up at least once a year. If your teeth are very sensitive, or your gums are red, don't whiten right away, wait until the problems are resolved.

Step 6. Give your hair the attention it deserves

Whether you are a man or a woman, and regardless of the type of hair you have, a healthy and well-groomed hair is a characteristic that others will immediately notice in you. Depending on the type of your hair, decide how thick to wash it, you must not leave it too dry or too greasy. Wash them thoroughly by massaging the skin and removing impurities with your fingers, do not rub the tips too much.

• Thin hair should be washed from once every three days to a maximum of once every two days. You choose the solution that best suits your case. Don't shampoo every day or your skin will dry out too much. Change your shampoo if necessary and see how often it is good to wash them.
• Oily hair should be washed every day. Furthermore, it would be necessary to always choose a specific shampoo; be careful which products you choose, not all of them are effective, indeed, some may increase your problem.
• Curly or very wavy hair should be washed less frequently than straight hair. Wash them no more than 2-3 times a week, using a specific product. If you wash them too often they will become frizzier and more indomitable.

Step 7. Choose the right hairstyle for your hair and face

When it comes to hairstyles, women have a greater choice than men. In both cases, however, it is advisable to change your look from time to time, perhaps experimenting with different cuts.

• For the men:

  • Straight hair of any thickness: a short cut, or a faded cut starting from the neck and sideburns, with more volume on the head. For wavy or curly hair, on the sides the cut must be of medium length, the ratio between the upper and lower and lateral length must be 2: 1. If you have thin hair you can try to make it grow even up to touch the neck.
  • Wavy or Curly Hair: Ask your stylist to create a trendy cut without reducing the length too much.

• For women:

  • Straight hair: you can try a semi-gathered or a ponytail, you can increase the volume of the tail by teasing it and putting a little hairspray. Or a side braid with an ear of wheat that ends in a ponytail.
  • Wavy Hair: Try a soft and disheveled look, with curls framing your face, a semi-crop pinned back, leaving the curls loose on the shoulders. Or a jaunty and not too elaborate chignon.
  • Curly hair: Experiment with a shorter cut, or use products to soften and tame the curls, create some tufts or gather the hair on the sides or with a voluminous tuft, then leave it loose.

  Method 3 of 4: Make the Wardrobe More Attractive

  

  Step 1. Get some basic pieces that distinguish your style

  Finding garments that define your personal look, that you can combine with other clothes in your wardrobe, is important in order to express and communicate your personality (and self-esteem) to others.

  • Clothes, accessories and shoes define their own style and it is good to combine them in the right way. If you are a woman and you love to wear flashy jewelry, your clothes should be in neutral colors and with a more sober style, in order to focus all attention on the bijoux. On the other hand, men who love vests can buy different models and combine them with the other items of the wardrobe.
  • Bags are also an important detail. You can combine different types for each occasion. The bag is a useful accessory that can also be very charming or elegant.

  

  Step 2. Buy your clothes in unusual places

  If you want to be attractive, you need to be able to look and stand out from others. Choose unique clothes, don't wear what everyone else is wearing.

  • Search in outlets. They are good opportunities to shop, have fun and find nice clothes at a good price, even designer ones. Outlets are generally found on the outskirts of large cities.
  • Try shopping at vintage and second-hand stores. You can find many used and vintage garments, which can be reinterpreted by creating new fashions. Many garments will be in excellent condition and with an always up-to-date look, also keep in mind that older garments are often better quality packaging.
  • Shop at local fashion workshops. Look for unique handmade creations; not only will you help the development of craftsmanship in your area but you will be able to show off something that others don't wear. You can also search for particular items on Ebay, but before buying online, check your size and the measurements of the garment.

  

  Step 3. Establish pairings that are right for you

  You need to feel comfortable, confident and attractive. Experiment with your look and find the pieces that suit you in a particular way.

  • Find your "uniform". Determine which items define your style. You can wear the basic garments in rotation, with variations and with different matching accessories. For example, if you feel comfortable with jeans and a t-shirt, decide that that is the look that sets you apart, but wear different types of t-shirts, also combine sweaters for when it gets colder.
  • Combine neutral-colored garments with others that are more jaunty and showy. Black, gray, brown or cream items are easily combined with more colorful and patterned dresses.
  • Wear red. It is an attractive color and very suitable for both men and women, it conveys determination and confidence. Wear a red dress, red lipstick, a scarlet scarf or a shirt of this color and observe the effect it has on others.

  

  Step 4. Only wear clothes that look good on you

  The key to being attractive is to wear only clothes that flatter you. If they are too tight you will not feel comfortable, on the contrary, if they are too loose you will look scruffy.

  • The jeans also need to be the right size. Choose the model that best suits your physique; they must be snug but not squeezed, and must not mark the waist. If they are too long, have them fixed in the tailor's shop.
  • Women will have to carefully choose the size of the bra, which must be able to support well without leaving marks on the shoulders or making half of the breast pop out.

  

  Step 5. Choose the right shoes

  In both women's and men's clothing, footwear plays an important role. They are an element that attracts a lot of the attention of others and can enhance all the garments you wear.

  • Ballet flats are very versatile women's shoes, they can be combined with different outfits and are perfect for both a casual and elegant style. I can be as attractive as high heels without having to suffer or keep my balance.
  • Boots are a perfect choice for autumn and winter. Heels are always very feminine and elegant, but you will have to learn to walk them with ease, otherwise you will not make a good impression.
  • Boys will have to learn and pay more attention to their shoes, it is important to make the right combinations (no more brown and black together), especially in view of a date with a woman.

  Method 4 of 4: For Women: Enhance Natural Beauty with Make up

  

  Step 1. Use make up to enhance your beauty

  Makeup is fun and can add that extra touch to any face. Proper use of make-up can make a woman more attractive. Experiment with different techniques and find which look makes you more beautiful.

  • If you have dark circles, or your skin has imperfections, you can cover them with the concealer; buy one that matches your skin tone, otherwise you will highlight what you want to cover!
  • Highlight the features of your face as you wish. You can emphasize your cheekbones using a bronzer, or embellish your features with blush. You can choose the solution that suits you best. Apply the blush vertically to make the face appear wider and oval, and the jaw slightly lower.

  

  Step 2. Make your eyes stand out

  The eyes are the mirror of the soul, so focusing on one's gaze is the best way to capture the attention of others. You can try a simple and more natural look, or a smokey one, which is always trendy and goes well with a red lipstick.

  • To achieve a smokey effect, you can apply natural-colored eyeshadow all over the eyelid, then add dark shimmering eyeshadow, blending from lashes to eyebrows. Highlight the look with a dark, brown or black eyeliner. Refine the smokey effect using a cotton swab, obtaining a darker touch on the crease of the eye and on the mobile lid. Instead, apply a lighter tone under the eyebrow and on the tear ducts. Accentuate the inner edge of the lashes with a thin layer of black pencil. Complete the makeup with mascara.
  • For a more natural look you can try to highlight your look with the pencil, choosing the shade of brown. Add a touch of colored eyeshadow, for example champagne or cream. Part your lashes with mascara (applying once or twice). Try different mascaras until you find the one that makes them more voluminous.

  

  Step 3. Experiment with your makeup

  Make up is a time to bring out your creativity and have fun. Express your flair and your imagination. Both a more natural and a more elaborate makeup can turn out to be very attractive.

  • Try a cat look, fifties style, or other make-up with more bizarre themes (for example from Ancient Egypt).
  • Try fun colors! Light colors can make your eyes stand out dramatically. Use silver and turquoise shades to accentuate blue eyes, or an emerald green to enhance hazel eyes.
