Worried about your looks? Being pretty doesn't take much work, and the natural look is best. Remember: Beauty is more than skin deep!

Steps t

1. Smile and be friendly.

2. Take care of your hair.

o Get it trimmed regularly (search on-line for colours and styles that best fit your face shape and hair type).

o Always brush it, but not too much..100 strokes every night is a myth that will only break your hair

o Try straightening it to the side, or curling it wavy.

o Dyes aren't that good and usually come out bad. But if you have to, then make sure it's one that suits your skin tone-2 shades darker or lighter than the natural color of your hair.

3. See to your skin.

o Use moisturizer suited to your skin type every day.

o Use a facial scrub at least once a week.

o Try going for that fresh summer look by not plastering your face with makeup, but lightly adding it here and there. Makeup is made to enhance your features, not cover them. Apply a eyeliner-eyeliner will add definition to your eyes, Don't wear any shocking colors during the day. Keep natural during the day and play it up during the night.

4. Keep up to date with fashion magazines-but mix whats new with what you've got,add some of your own style to whats hip and hot,after all we don't want to be clones.

o Pick clothes that flatter your body, but don't go too far. People get the wrong impression if you show too much skin. You can be cute and look conservative at the same time! Try a pair of jeans and a nice sweater,or a skirt,make sure your shoes go with the outfit.

o Flatter a 'blah' outfit with accessories, but don't over-accessorize! Try a headband or a cute necklace. Remember, less is more.

o If you want to feel sexy, try something a little different, like a new skirt or new pair of underwear, but don't go overboard. Don't try to wear clothes that don't fit you. If it's too small, or too big, get it tailored or return it. Buy clothing which flatters you, and creates a lean, curvaceous line.

5. Smile! Making the effort to smile every once in a while will make you feel better about yourself, and make others feel positive. You can even practice smiling in the mirror--it'll be a great start to your day and set you off in the right mood. You never know who is appreciating your smile!

6. Stand up straight. This makes you look like you respect yourself, and others will follow your lead. Plus, it has the visual effect of smoothing out any bulges that aren't particularly flattering. Posture is important and can make you look more attractive.

7. Understand the value of inner beauty. There are "pretty" people in this world, and after talking to a few of them, you can begin to think that they aren't so pretty. A bad attitude towards others can make you seem really ugly inside, and make people stop paying attention to who you are on the outside. So remember that all the makeup in the world won't help if you are unhappy and negative towards others. Respect yourself, respect others and you will feel and look great.

8. Feel good about yourself. When you feel good, you look good. Have confidence. People are attracted to and feel comfortable with people who respect themselves. Liking yourself and respecting yourself doesn't mean you are conceited, it just shows others that you are happy about your appearance. A fun, light personality makes everyone comfortable. Be yourself, be warm to others, and feel great. Soon enough, others are bound to notice.
