How to look natural in school

1. Hair. Let's start with hair because people will always notice that. Shampoo and conditioner hair every other day or every other two days - and remember to use conditioner to soften after shampoo. Good brands are Tresseme, Dove or VO5. Even with the glossiest hair, though, a dull color nixes it, unless you have a deep tan and bright eyes. For very pale or sallow skin, don't go for ash blonde, try a darker color. Get highlights and see your hair stylist about what sort of cut will look good on you. Layers are cute for straight hair, and for frizzy curly hair, long is better with a de-frizzing gel or spray. Don't go for zigzag parts and don't use too much hairspray.For shiny, healthy looking hair, after washing rinse though with cold water.Brush your hair ever morning, of corse. No one likes looking at an ugky snarle in someones hair. Blow drying to much can cause your hair to dry up and some times smell a little like ash.

   
   

   Skin. Bad, acne-ridden skin is caused by two things: lack of care and genes. Wash skin every day and night, and don't pile on thick foundation which will hurt it. Use a cleanser and moisturizer twice a day without fail, plus a sunscreen of at least SPF 10 to protect your face. Make sure your moisturizer is oil free or it can lead to minor infections and clogged pores. Wrinkly skin in your 30s isn't going to thank your tan.
2. Eyes. When you wake up in the morning, maybe your eyes are puffy, lashes are stubby and generally your peepers look awful. A tip from Ole Henricksson, skin mogul - fill a sink half-full with a combination of cold water and ice cubes, then press a soaked towel to your eyes and face for at least 10 seconds each. Use an anti-aging eye cream because it's never too early. Once your eyes are depuffed, line your upper eyelids in black, brown or smoke-gray eyeliner, and lower eyelids in white eyeliner. Curl your eyelashes and put on one or two coats of a good, non-clumpy mascara. Get an eye shadow in smoldering gold, dip your pinkie in it and dab it at the corner of your eyes and across the bottom of your lids. Use a concealer to cover up your dark circles. Too much eye shadow will show that you are trying to hard. Go a little natural and light with the eye shadow. Fake eyelashes are not a good idea.
3. Make-up. Here you have a choice, even if your school doesn't allow make-up. A tinted moisturizer, to even your skin tone, conceal flaws and save time (foundation and moisturizer in one) - or some mineral powder with concealer on top. If you pick option 1, dust a translucent powder on top to minimize shine. Or you could always use a clear smoothing primer, to minimize sallowness, create a smooth canvas and an alternative to moisturizer. Sephora makes a good one. For bright flushed cheeks, choose a baby pink blush and, using a brush, dust it on the tops of the apples of your cheeks, then blend. Use a moisturizing lip balm, then a nude lipstick, to make your lips look fuller. Putting on chapstick before going to sleep with help keep that moist feeling when you wak up. Lip gloss is always an eye catcher. Make sure you wash ALL of yesterdays lip products before putting on a new coat. Lip stainer can stain your lips a color you don't like, and it takes a lot of time to wipe that stuff off.
4. Put on a crisp deodorant in a citrus or mint scent, then, using a sweet or citrus cream, moisturize your entire body (but not your face). Perfume is another good way to keep a fresh smell lingering on you. Good smelling hair products work well too.
5. Pick a cute outfit, and, on an average day, a casual one. Example - a green argyle hoodie, tight boot-cut jeans and a cute silky camisole with high-tops. Or, for a more preppy look, a pleated miniskirt, an acrylic, mohair or cashmere cable-knit sweater, flats or riding boots and a headband. If you have a uniform, make sure the skirt is short, the shirt is a little loose, the tie/bowtie is loose and long and you have at least one bright, cool accessory and preferably two. Sweet bohemian outfits are the cutest to go with your natural look, like fringed skirts, silky shirts, suede fringy bags, earth tones combined with hot pinks and lime greens, and flower-power jewelry. Accesories are the key thing in looking good with dresscode rules.
6. Remember to exercise to keep your sweet look, and don't eat too unhealthily. Don't be bratty or mean, be as nice as you can, and don't take life too seriously. Remember, you only live once! Get enough sleep and excersize to make sure you are always happy. All the make up in the world and a cute outfit can't hide a cranky face.
7. But this statement does not mean you should ignore your future and be superficial. Girls are considered cute if they are able to carry an interesting conversation and are knowledgeable. If one looks pretty, but upon opening her mouth she bores/scares/annoys everyone, then that is not cute! :)
