    Keep your hair nice-looking. Try a new hairstyle when you feel like it. If you plan to use hair straightener or curler, try not to do it regularly, because it might damage and burn your hair.

Method 7
Method 7 of 9:
Wear natural makeup.

    If your parents allow you to wear makeup don't overdo it! Just some mascara, foundation (or BB cream works great), lip gloss, blush MAYBE (sometimes it looks unnatural so if you do just try a pink or rosy blush), and some eyeshadow. If you want (and your parents allow) get some white eyeliner and put it on the corner of your eyes.

    You don't need to whiten it, but try avoiding bruises and scratches. Use lotion if your hands or legs ever get dry. If you have dark/thick body hair, you may want to start shaving.

  • Question
    What do I wear to a dance?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    I usually go to the dance wearing a knee-length dress and flats (so when it comes to dancing, I don't need to take off heels).
  • Question
    How can I be a stylish tween if my mother says I'm not old enough to wear makeup?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    My mom doesn't let me wear makeup either; embrace your natural beauty! Just keeping your skin clean by washing it every morning can make a world of a difference. Also, you can seem to 'glow' by using a moisturizer. I use one from Clearasil, and it works really well. If you wan to step it up a notch, you can find hairstyles that complement your best facial features, whether that means wisps around your face or smooth.
  • Question

    Absolutely! Find outfits and hairstyles that they complement.
  • Question
    How should I wear the clothes? Should I tuck my shirts in?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Wear them as you like. If like them tucked in, tuck them in. If you want them to be free, let them be. Don't care about what others think--develop your own style!
  • Question
    How can I be stylish when almost all my clothes have childish things on them?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    It's okay, it might look cool given that even adults wear childish clothes. Try to slowly replace each piece with a plain equivalent over time and you can tone down the childish ones.
  • Question
    Wouldn't washing my hair that much cause it to bleed a lot of color after dyeing?

    The first few washes after dyeing hair will cause some color to bleed from you hair, but this should stop after a few washes. To prevent the colour from fading from your hair, you can use a colour-protecting shampoo, which helps to lock in the colour for longer. Remember to use lots of conditioner so your dyed hair doesn't become dry!

    The colour wheel will help you. Colours opposite to each other such as red and green, blue and orange and yellow and purple, work well. These colours are basic art and when working with plain items colours next to each other will work to. White goes with black well and a dark blue will also work. So, check the colour wheel and that will help you.
  • Question
    Would mom jeans make me look bigger or would they make me look slimmer?

    They would make you look slightly bigger. Black and darker colours are slimming and lighter colours will make you look slightly wider.
