14 Ways To Look More Attractive
1. Wear Bold Lipsticks
I am going to start with the most simple and classy hack that will make you more attractive — a lipstick.
And not just any lipstick, but a bold lipstick that you often don’t let yourself wear out of fear of being ‘too much’. It won’t be too much, girl.
A bold lip is a power move. It’s your statement to the world that you are confident and unapologetically yourself.
Shades like red, deep plum, fuchsia, and trendy coral can transform your entire look instantly.
You don’t even need much makeup when you have a bold lip color on. It will draw attention to your smile and give the illusion of whiter teeth, making you stand out.
2. Hit the Gym (or Just Move Your Body)
Yes, exercise makes you physically fitter, but it’s not just about that.
Women who exercise regularly will always radiate more energy and confidence compared to those who do not.
Also, moving your body releases endorphins, aka happy hormones which will naturally make you more magnetic.
If you need more pointers, then know that exercise also improves posture, boosts your mood, and gives your skin a healthy glow.
Joining the gym and sticking to the gym would be the best thing you can do to up your attractiveness.
But if gym makes your nose scrunch, then just pick whatever physical activity you enjoy and stick to it. Your body and your confidence will thank you for this.
3. Master Your Skincare Routine
I don’t think it’s a secret that healthy skin is universally attractive. No, ladies, you absolutely do need a 10-step skincare routine to achieve it.
I mean, I know that works for some women, but my sensitive skin loves minimalism, so that’s what I always recommend too.
In case you’re a total beginner (like I too once was), then the basic steps involve cleansing, moisturizing, and putting on a suncreen with SPF 50.
You can also add serums targeting your skin concerns, like vitamin C for brightening or retinol for anti-aging.
Ask a dermatologist as they’d be able to recommend better knowing your skin issues.
4. Dress for Your Body Type
I know that following fashion trends is in…trend these days, but that is not the secret to looking stylish.
No, it’s actually understanding what works best for your body shape, which is so very unique from everyone around you.
You should always wear clothes that fit you well and accentuate your best features. For this, it may help to first identify your body shape and then dress to accentuate your assets.
Highlight your strengths in a journal if you need to. Got great legs? Show them off. Love your shoulders? Wear off-the-shoulder tops. Basically, show off your best features, girl.
Never shy away from bold choices that make you feel fabulous. Attractive women aren’t afraid to look bold, you know. They actually embrace it, and so should you.
Shapewear is not a necessity, but it does help create a smoother silhouette if you choose to wear it. I personally don’t wear it, but some of my friends really love it so I thought I’d throw this tip out.
Oh, and lastly, find a good tailor, will ya? Even affordable clothes can look high-end when they fit you like a glove.
5. Invest in Accessories
I didn’t understand the appeal of accessories until I started using them myself. And now, I simply cannot go without them.
Accessories can really make your outfit model-like (no kidding).
A chic handbag, statement jewelry, and stylish shoes can elevate your entire look, even if you’re wearing clothes that one might consider average.
You don’t need to buy high-end accessories. Your jewelleries can be simple and amazon-bought. But when it comes to shoes and handbags, I do suggest going for quality over quantity.
A wrist watch would also be a very classy addition to your wardrobe and will go together with almost anything, making you look polished.
6. Maintain Good Posture
Stand tall, and watch how the world reacts, girl! When you have good posture, you exude confidence and poise.
Slouching can make you look tired and uninterested, while standing tall makes you look confident and in control.
I know this can be hard to fix, especially if you have bad posture. But here are some tips that helped me (yes, I used to be a sloucher too, nothing to be ashamed of):
- Practice posture exercises from YouTube (10 minutes a day please)
- Set reminders to straighten up throughout the day
- When you catch yourself slouching, imagine a string pulling you upward from the top of your head. That’ll get you upright.
- Strengthen your core with yoga and Pilates
7. Smile More
You know what your best beauty tool is? Your smile. You can deny it all you want, but it is true.
Smiling comes from a carefree place, and when you indulge in it freely, you exude your free spirit.
A genuine smile from a woman can seriously light up a room. It’s one of the easiest ways to make yourself more approachable and attractive.
If you’re self-conscious about your smile, then first start brushing your teeth and flossing twice a day.
Then, try teeth whitening strips to remove yellowness. I have used them in the past and they do work. I’ll be using these strips again in the future if my teeth need the.
Since your lips are also a part of your smile (duh), make sure to keep them hydrated and add a pop of color with a lipstick or tinted balm.
8. Find Your Signature Look
You know how celebrities have their signature looks? Taylor Swift immortalized red lipstick during her Red era, Ariana Grande slays in her high ponytail, and Billie Eilish wears baggy clothes like it’s her business.
You can have a signature look like them too! It could be a cat-eye liner, a go-to hairstyle, or a wardrobe color palette.
Having a signature look will set you apart. Also, I think consistency in your personal style also makes you memorable and reflects your individuality.
Experiment until you find what feels authentically you. Once you do, make it your trademark! I, for one, love keeping my hair shoulder lengths.
I’ve been keeping it at this length for about a decade now and I do not wish to change it in the future. I love it so much!
9. Keep Your Hair Healthy
Your hair is one of the first things people notice about you.
Shiny and well-maintained hair is a sign of good health and adds to your overall attractiveness.
Whether you prefer it long and sleek, short and chic, or curly and wild, look after your hair and practice regular haircare.
My go-to haircare tips in a nutshell:
- Shampoo (only scalp) and condition (only the lenghths) your hair on alternate days
- Use a hair mask instead of a conditioner once a week
- Put on a heat protectants spray before styling
- Use leave-in conditioners or serums if you have frizzy hair
- No rubbing or combing wet hair
- Use a micro fibre towel or a pure cotton T-shirt to dry wet hair
- Get a hair trim every three months
10. Enhance Your Eyes
Even if you’re not a makeup girlie, eye makeup is something that you should think about trying because it’s pretty harmless and so so fun to experiment with.
Your eyes are the window to your soul, so why not make them pop? If you accentuate your eyes, it’ll make your gaze more captivating and draw people in.
Use a volumizing mascara, a touch of highlighter on the inner corners, and eyeliner to define your eyes.
Don’t forget to groom your brows and they are what actually frame your whole face.
If nothing else, just grab an eyelash curler and use it to curl your lashes, put on tiny amount of mascara, and you’ll be good to go.
11. Work On Your Diet
I am sure I am not the first person to be telling you this, but here it is again — You are what you eat. I mean, at least in the realm of beauty, this statement is very true.
A nutrient-rich diet can work wonders for your skin, hair, and overall glow. Eating well enhances your natural beauty from the inside out.
Load up on fruits, veggies, and healthy fats like avocado and nuts. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
Keep the junk food at bay, as it really ruins your gut health and can dull your appearance if consumed in excess.
If you really want to be attractive naturally, then this is the one tip that will get you there and also make you super healthy along the way (which is the best bonus you could ask for).
12. Keep Your Nails On Point
Your hands say a lot about you, you know. If your nails are uneven, have chipping nail paint on them, you’ll feel lazy and give off the same energy as well.
You might even feel low on confidence without even being aware of it. On the other hand, well-maintained nails show attention to detail.
They can real enhance your appearance, even when you’re not dressed up.
Give yourself regular manicures, keep your nails trimmed, and put on nail paint according to your mood.
Bold shades will pop up your personality. And neutral colors like these will make you look versatile:
13. Master the Art of Conversation
Looking good can catch someone’s eye, but a great conversation is what keeps them interested.
Someone’s genuine interest in you will always stay when you make them feel good while talking.
Whoever you are talking to, always listen actively to them, as people love to feel heard. Ask thoughtful questions and show genuine curiosity about others.
You don’t have to, but if you can, then keep up with trends, current events, or pop culture to have engaging topics ready.
Humor is an incredible asset here. A well-timed joke can make you unforgettable in someone’s eye, so let your humor out without fear of coming off as awkward.
When I was working on my social skills, I’d watch videos on how to be better at conversations; they really can help!
14. Maintain a Positive Energy
Have you ever met a positive person and found them unattractive? I do not think that’s possible.
Positive energy is attractive, period. The energy you bring into your room will always be superior to what you’re wearing and how you’re looking.
So, be positive and sunny as it is incredible appealing.
The moment you enter a circle, put away your phone and engage fully by giving people your undivided attention.
Surround yourself with uplifting people who enhance your vibe, because positivity is contagious. You can’t expect yourself to act sunny and happy in the presence of toxic people.
Also, happiness is important too. The more you embrace joy, the more attractive you become, both to yourself and others.
Do things that you love and things that bring you real joy. It’s easier to work on being attractive and healthy when you’re pouring from a full cup. It’s as simple as that.
One Last Thing…
This post has been all about how to look attractive, but I do not want you to limit the definition of your attractiveness.
You’re not trying to meet any societal standards here. You just need to be the best version of yourself, and feeling attractive is a part of that.
So, more than anything, focus on confidence, self-care, and authenticity. You’ll naturally draw others to you. Have fun shining!
