-
Act confident. This is a 'must'. If you started to look good, the best way to make people drawn to you and your looks, is to show confidence. Even if you don't feel confident, fake it until you feel confident enough. That means having good posture, head high, looking at people in the eyes and walking like you own the place, with a little bit of a sexy sway in the hips if that's appropriate! People will see you as confident and will be interested in approaching you.
-
Have something to say. Don't go with silly conversations like "what class do you have?" or "what do you feel like doing?". That's just the usual boring get-to-know-you chit chat that feels awkward... just start to introduce yourself, and tell funny stories about yourself, and talk naturally, so people will see you as a nice person to talk to. Just that.Advertisement
-
Engage in good hygiene. First things first, no one is going to find you attractive if you look dirty. In order to be attractive, you MUST be clean. Shower every day and wash your hair at least three times a week. Also, brush your teeth often to keep your breath fresh and your smile white.
-
Make sure your hair always looks nice. Keep it tangle-free and clean. Straighteners and curlers can be harsh and damaging, so use a heat protecting spray and try to use heat sparingly.
-
Take care of any unwanted hair. If you are over the age of twelve and feel the need to, shave your legs every couple of days and pluck your eyebrows into a feminine arch. You may even want to wax your bikini line if you are planning to go swimming, but remember, this is not absolutely necessary.
-
Have clear skin. Drink a lot of water and eat healthy food, because this can make your skin healthier looking. Also, use acne cream/treatments for pimples and wash your face well with a product that works for you, some people find that soap dries out the skin on their face. Use cleanser often. Use lotion to avoid having dry skin.
-
Remove your makeup every night. If you are going to wear makeup, always wash your face at the end of each day. Also remember that less is more. All you really need is concealer, mascara, thin eyeliner, neutral eye shadow, blush or bronzer, and a lip product.
-
Get dressed up. No matter where you are going, for school or whatever, don't dress down ! Read fashion magazines and buy more fashionable clothes. It doesn't have to be expensive; you can wear jeans, but make sure you still look fabulous!
-
Wear some jewelry. Don't overdo it, but it's always nice that you wear pretty earrings or bracelets. If you want to look classic, wear pearl earrings. If you want something more diva-like, wear hoop earrings.

Tips from our Readers
The advice in this section is based on the lived experiences of wikiHow readers like you. If you have a helpful tip you’d like to share on wikiHow, please submit it in the field below.
- Don’t be shy. Being shy and not talkative can lead to being lonely in the years to come. I learned that when you are more open and carefree you cn make friends a lot easier. If your still not feeling comfortable, try starting a simple conversation.
- Be tasteful with your makeup. Keep it light and natural, or make it a bit more eye-catching by adding eyeliner and lip gloss. You want people to notice how effortlessly cute you look, not talk about how cakey and overdone your face looks.
- Whatever you do, don’t be a try-hard or a bully. This won't make you look cool or popular at all.

Warnings
- Don't date just 'any' guy, just because you think he is cute. You have to see that he is a nice person before accepting a date with him. Talk to him first, and see if he is nice. Once in a while, play hard to get.Thanks
- Don't act overconfident. People tend to see this as annoying after a while, which will show up negatively in your popularity.Thanks
- Don't date for popularity. Using a guy is, at best, shameful.Thanks
