Sometimes it happens that you want to change something in your life, even if there is no apparent reason. If you are not satisfied with your appearance and want to try a new look, follow these steps to completely renew your style!
Steps
Method 1 of 3: First Part: Hygiene
Step 1. Maintain good hygiene
If you don't brush, people won't notice your appearance because you will smell bad, or there will be food residue between your teeth. For good hygiene, you need to brush your teeth, floss and brush regularly.
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day and remember to also clean your tongue to counteract halitosis (bad breath). Floss every night.
- Wash your hair every other day using a conditioner as well. The body produces oils that are important for hair health, so don't wash it every day but make sure it looks neat. If you have oily skin and hair, wash it six days a week.
Step 2. Pamper your skin
It is an important part of the body. To have glowing skin you need to treat it with care.
- Wash your face every morning and even in the evening. If blackheads start to appear, or you already have them, use a mild specific cream before going to sleep.
- Use a face mask once a week. If you can't afford it, there's no need to skip this step - just use a homemade alternative treatment based on mashed bananas and tea tree oil.
- Use a hand cream throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated at all times. Apply the face cream after washing it or after a shower.
- Care for your nails and always use nail polish. You can do a manicure in a beauty salon if you can't do it yourself.
Method 2 of 3: Second Part: Makeup and Hair
Step 1. Change your haircut
With this step, you will notice a real change. Do not be afraid! Before you go to the hairdresser, look for a haircut you like in some newspaper. If possible, show the hairdo to the hairdresser in the newspaper so that he can reproduce it faithfully, so you won't have any nasty surprises.
- Highlights, layered hair, side bangs, short blunt cuts can make you beautiful. Contrary to popular belief, long hair is not monotonous, but it doesn't look good on all people.
- If you want a look emo/punk you should cut your hair short, layered, with a fringe and maybe color a few pink or purple strands.
- If you prefer a more style Californian/solar try to leave them long, slightly wavy and with some highlights.
- If you choose an aspect classic/elegant Go for long, straight hair with side bangs that you can eventually tie into a ponytail or bun.
Step 2. Take care of your new hairstyle to always look great
Now that you've found a nice cut, you need to flaunt it! You have to do your hair every morning. Pay attention to the products you use; also, try not to curl or straighten them too often, because you will ruin them, you will notice the appearance of split ends or even abundant hair loss.
- If you shower in the morning, just use a few drops of your usual products and leave them natural. They will look graceful and soft, even more beautiful than usual.
- Elastics have been in fashion lately. Black, brown or white ones suit any type of outfit. There are also more elegant versions that almost look like jewels.
- Go in a hurry? Turn them up! Ponytails or loose buns are great and braids are back in the limelight too.
Step 3. Try a different trick than usual
It's not mandatory, but it can be useful for experimenting with a new look. A little colored or natural lipstick will make your lips fuller. If allowed, use a veil of concealer to hide the most noticeable imperfections. If you can't put makeup on, you definitely need to take care of your skin. This way, you will minimize imperfections.
- Store your makeup in a cute bag and always carry the essentials with you (in your purse or backpack depending on your destination).
- Choose a natural color for the blush, this will give the impression of naturally blushing and the makeup will not show.
- Use an eyelash curler if possible. It's a great alternative to mascara, plus it makes your eyes look bigger and brighter.
Step 4. Experiment with different types of makeup based on the style you choose
Obviously, you have to adapt the makeup to the look. Here are some tips to make no mistake:
- For an emo or punk style use black eyeliner and mascara with a touch of red on the lips and you will not go unnoticed. Don't choose a foundation that is too light! That would be a mistake: an emo doesn't have to look pale as a ghost at all costs!
- For a Californian style choose a light and natural make-up. A little bronzer, a touch of mascara and a light line of eyeliner or pencil. You will look kissed by the sun and perfect for the beach!
- The classic style requires natural or red lips, mascara and a white pencil at the bottom of the eyes along with a perfectly blended eyeshadow in three shades. What elegance!
- Practice is key! Experiment with different styles with your friends, take pictures to compare them and figure out which ones are the best. Remember that light makeup is always the best choice.
Method 3 of 3: Part Three: Wardrobe and Accessories
Step 1. Renew your wardrobe
You'll probably need to do some shopping, but don't worry! Focus on versatility, choosing garments that you can combine with each other, and that's it! There is no need to completely change the wardrobe to show off a new style; just try to match old clothes differently.
- You absolutely must have a pair of jeans that fit you perfectly. Avoid flared designs as they are no longer in style. Try the new tight-fitting models, called jeggings, which are not only comfortable but also trendy!
- For an emo / punk style choose dark jeans. Also try tearing or thinning old jeans.
- For the Californian style, choose light or worn jeans. Linen trousers or capri pants are also perfect!
- If you want a classic style, opt for black or indigo jeans; if you have the guts, you can also show off some unaged checkered pants.
- Tank tops and tight shirts can make a huge difference, and you can generally fit them into Californian or classic style. Buy a pair of tank tops, even those with lace trim; wear them under anonymous t-shirts, or one on top of the other to create special effects and highlight the lace.
- If you choose an emo / punk / indie style you can easily wear the shirt of your favorite band. The best are aged, vintage-looking, or scruffy ones. In any case, they don't have to be huge; choose the right size to highlight your curves.
- Look for semi-new designer clothes. If you're lucky, you can find unworn jackets or shirts at a great discount. It would be a real deal!
- Visit second-hand shops after the holidays. Often, people receive clothes they don't like as gifts and get rid of them by selling them in these stores. It's the perfect time of year to get great deals!
- Try wearing a round pendant with fake stones, or hoop earrings. If you prefer the grunge style, a few studs won't hurt.
- Silver jewelry is very pretty; they never go out of style, are quite cheap and go with everything.
- When choosing a more elegant style, remember to wear a nice watch. Instead, for an emo or punk look choose black or multicolored rubber bracelets.
- For the classic / elegant style, you can choose either flat shoes, high heels, or running shoes. In winter, wear fur-trimmed high boots.
- If you choose the Californian style, you can wear flat shoes, even canvas, or flip flops. In winter, opt for simple and warm boots like those from Ugg.
- For the emo / punk style, the Vans are perfect, but you can also fall back on the black Converse or boots.
- It is preferable to use only a few drops of perfume, without exaggerating!
- You choose your style! Don't be influenced by fashion!
- Go for a gold or silver necklace: you can wear it on any occasion and it will become your hallmark.
- Try using whitening toothpaste and smile with pride!
- Remember that you should always remove your make-up before going to bed.
- Too strong heat ruins the hair, causing split ends. To keep them healthy, don't overdo it or use a spray to protect your hair from the heat.
- Before going to bed, apply some lip balm to prevent your lips from chapping and bleeding overnight.
- Don't go overboard with your makeup.
Step 2. Shirts can surprise you
Shirts and tops are essential in any type of clothing, so choose them according to the style you want to experiment. Even if you are on a tight budget, choosing a few items carefully can change your wardrobe.
Collared shirts are perfect for an elegant style. The wide model, checkered or in denim with two buttons on the collar, can be very satisfying if worn with tight jeans
Step 3. Take a look at the second hand shops
Even the cheapest clothes can make a great impression. But you have to be careful: not all second-hand shops are the same, so choose your garments carefully, trying to notice the presence of tears, stains or other defects.
Step 4. Use accessories to enhance your look
Jewelry is really important, but remember not to overdo it; a couple of pretty accessories will be enough to complete the picture. Focus on simplicity.
Step 5. Don't underestimate footwear
Shoes are an important element to have a perfect look and can enhance your style like accessories. Choose them carefully!
