Procedures
Enhance your makeup. Keep it subtle and natural. Consider mascara, highlighter, lip gloss, and blush. Ensure your makeup complements both your ensemble and your skin tone. Avoid cakey, mismatched foundation. Opt for high-quality products to avoid clumping or smudging.
- Add a touch of eyeshadow or eyeliner. For added flair, apply a thin line of black eyeliner along your upper lash line, with a slight flick at the end. But keep it classy.
- Apply lip balm followed by a pretty lip tint. Lip tint is ideal for school as it lasts long. Always moisturize your lips before applying tint to prevent dryness and chapping.
- If you need extra coverage, try a tinted moisturizer or B.B. cream.
- Curl your lashes and apply a few coats of brown mascara. If your school has rules against makeup, respect them.
Style your hair. Brush it gently and style it as desired. Experiment with different hairstyles each day for a touch of glamour. Accessorize with cute headbands or hair accessories! The options are endless—from curls and ponytails to braids and buns, or simply leaving it down or in ringlets.
- Use quality shampoo and conditioner with a pleasant scent when washing your hair. Rinse with slightly cool water to maintain shine.
- Brush your hair daily to distribute natural oils evenly and achieve a glossy, healthy look.
- Consider visiting a hairstylist for a trendy haircut (layers are chic) and, if permitted, opt for highlights or dip-dye in natural hues. For a bold look, consider vibrant colors like red, blonde, or pink, depending on your hair color.
Opt for perfume or body spray. A touch of fragrance goes a long way. Apply a pleasant perfume to pulse points like your neck, wrists, and elbows, and lightly spritz some over your attire.
Select your outfit the night before. Consider the weather forecast. For warmer days, a skirt paired with a stylish top could be perfect, especially when accessorized with rings, necklaces, earrings, or bracelets! If it's a bit chilly, don't hesitate to add a scarf for both style and warmth. Choose clothing that accentuates your best features and conceals any areas of concern.
- Don't overlook your footwear! Kitten heels, flats, and boots are all chic options. Some schools have specific rules regarding shoe colors.
- Accessorize wisely. Wear earrings, opting for studs if required. Change your earrings daily. If permitted, accessorize with necklaces and bracelets.
- Opt for clothes that align with your school's dress code while allowing your unique style to shine. Embrace creativity to stand out from the crowd.
Maintain your nail appearance. Keep your nails clean, trimmed, filed, and buffed on a weekly basis. If allowed, paint them with a pretty shade. Alternatively, opt for clear polish for a more natural look.
Cultivate confidence and the right mindset! Walk with poise—head held high, shoulders back, and back straight. Confidence is magnetic, but avoid overconfidence as it can be off-putting. Kindness and a genuine smile are key to attracting positive interactions.
- Kindness is key to approachability. Be friendly and remember to smile, practicing in front of the mirror if needed to achieve the perfect smile.
- Start your day positively; wake up refreshed and cheerful. Smile and avoid appearing grumpy or sleepy. Focus on the aspects of school you look forward to, as starting the day with a positive mindset can enhance your demeanor and approachability.
Nurture yourself from within. To look good for school or in general, prioritize your health and well-being!
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water daily—aim for at least six to eight cups. Hydration promotes radiant skin and can help clear up acne or blemishes.
- Adopt a balanced, nutritious diet rich in fruits and vegetables while limiting intake of fatty or sugary foods, particularly at breakfast. A healthy breakfast sets a positive tone for the day, reflecting in your expression and preparing you for a productive day of learning.
- Incorporate daily exercise into your routine, aiming for at least thirty minutes a day. Even a brisk walk or jog can suffice. Consider at-home exercises like jogging in place. If weight is a concern, aim for gradual, sustainable weight loss through exercise rather than extreme dieting.
- Prioritize adequate sleep, aiming for at least nine to ten hours each night. A well-rested complexion devoid of dark circles enhances your overall appearance.
Maintain good hygiene.
- Ensure daily showers. You can shower at night for time-saving, but a morning shower can invigorate you—it's your preference! Keep your hair and body clean, using products tailored to your hair and skin type. Opt for scented soap for a subtle fragrance.
- Apply antiperspirant-deodorant every morning to stay fresh.
- Address unwanted body hair through shaving or waxing. Trim your bikini line and groom your eyebrows.
- Carry panty-liners/pads/tampons in your purse for emergencies.
- Practice good dental hygiene. Consider braces or whitening toothpaste if needed. Opt for cute or clear braces colors. Otherwise, focus on regular brushing, monthly whitening (sparingly), mouthwash, and flossing.
Achieve clear skin. Cleanse your face morning and night without harsh scrubbing. Use a light touch to maintain your skin's natural oils. Keep cleansing brief, around ten seconds, to avoid stripping your skin. Apply moisturizer every morning, avoiding excessive use to prevent oiliness. Use spot treatment nightly to prevent breakouts, regardless of current acne status.

- If makeup isn't permitted, opt for tinted lip balm and tidy brows to subtly enhance your features. Keep breath fresh with mints. Small details can make a big impact.
- Keep your hair well-groomed and experiment with playful accessories like headbands. Explore various styles—braids, buns, ponytails, etc.—to keep your look fresh.
- Dress in clothes and shoes that make you feel both confident and comfortable. Ignore fleeting trends. When you feel good inside, it radiates outwardly.
- Prioritize adequate sleep to appear rejuvenated rather than fatigued. Aim for 8-10 hours of sleep each night. Quality rest positively affects both appearance and mood.
- Maintain a positive and approachable demeanor daily. Your interactions with others have a greater impact on their perception of you than mere physical appearance.
