Question

How can I sneak on makeup if it isn't allowed?

Community Answer

Make it look natural. Apply a little bit of blush. Wear a nude or pinkish colored lipstick. Apply a very thin layer of foundation if you're going to wear any at all.

You could try using eye shadow that match's your hair color (using a thin makeup brush).

Question

What is an eyebrow pencil? Where can I purchase it from?

Community Answer

Eyebrow pencil "colors" your eyebrows to make them look fuller. You can purchase them at Macy's, Walmart, Target, or any drugstore that sells makeup.

Question

What do I do if I don't like my school uniform and my teacher keeps enforcing it?

Community Answer

You can't do anything in that case. You can try asking your teacher if she would allow different hairstyles or accessories.

Question

Could I wear colorful bracelets?

Emma Coombs

Community Answer

Yes, this would be a good way to express your individuality if your school allows it. Don't wear too many, though, or you'll look like you're trying too hard.

Question

What do I do if my uniform pants are too baggy?

Waffle System

Community Answer

Try getting them tailored for a better fit if your budget allows it and the school rules permit doing so. Otherwise, try to distract from the pants by jazzing up another area of your body with accessories.

Can I wear a uniform like a boy if I'm a girl?

Of course! Many people do that. I used to wear my school uniform like a boy and felt really good. Check it out with a teacher first though.

Question

What if you want to look like you've tried hard but not gone over the top?

Cavendish1708

Community Answer

Do what you want (within reason and your school's rules). Play around and see what you like and what you can get away with. People will notice and possibly start a new trend!

Question

How do I style my skirt or hide any fat?

Josh1997

Community Answer

To style your skirt, wear black tights. Go for the nylon/satin tights that are fairly sheer to give your legs a sleek and slender look that will draw away attention from them, making sure they're not too opaque. Have them sheer enough so you can see your toes through them.

Question

Should I wear my skirt high waisted or low waisted? And if it’s cold can I wear tights?

Josh1997

Community Answer

Your skirt should be a credit card length above the knee. As for tights, yes you can wear them. Aim to wear black sheer tights rather than opaque ones as they will give you a sleek and taller look. As a guide, have them sheer enough so you can see the outline of your toes through them.
