Being pretty is all about having confidence, loving who you are, and expressing yourself in a way that's true to you. To help you out, we've put together a list of the best ways to be beautiful inside and out, from embracing your unique personality and style to taking care of your appearance. Keep reading to learn how to feel prettier and start showing the world just how amazing you really are.

Steps

1
Experiment with different clothes and outfits to find what you like. Remember, not everyone has the same likings of clothes style. You can still be pretty even if you can't afford new clothes. Wear whatever makes you come alive, and the right people will compliment you.
- Wear clothes that make you happy, not what makes other people happy. Don't worry too much about what other people think or what is called "age appropriate", wear what makes you feel good. Wear leggings, jeans, shorts, skirts, crop tops and dresses. Whatever makes you feel comfortable and good. Wash your clothing once a week, and make sure that they are stain free. Wear the outfit you like best, and always smile when you're happy to let out the best in you!
- Tune into Instagram, fashion magazines, and new celebrity looks if you'd like to keep up with the latest trends.
- Color trends are another great way to stay fashionable. Look at the colors of the season (like Pantone colors) and try to pick your wardrobe based on those.
- Try to find bloggers who share the same style as you, too. That can be a great outlet to figure out what's in style.
2
Adapt your own style. You are going to change rapidly over the next few years, if you aren't already changing. Adapting your sense of self now will take you further than ever. Be proud of who you are, and how you present yourself. So keeping clean, fresh, and coming off as being a polite person will come in handy. Finally, don't let other people get you down.

3
Be confident. Confidence is the key to being beautiful. Your personality shows a lot more than your looks.
4
Let your light shine. Be nice to everyone. Help other people carry their groceries, pick up something a busy parent dropped. Do small deeds for people and you will feel good about yourself. If you see a chore that needs doing, try and get it over with. Your parents will thank you!
5
Don't get too stressed by your looks. What you look like doesn't define you. Everyone is beautiful in their own way.
6
Choose whether you wear makeup. Never feel like you have to. You're gorgeous anyway and no one has to wear makeup. You can wear it if you want to though.
- The same applies for accessories like expensive handbags and jewelry. You do not not need to wear them unless you want to.
7
Adopt good hygiene. You're going through changes (or will be soon) and you need to get in the habit of showering daily, brushing your teeth twice a day, and wearing deodorant.
8
Be neat and clean. Have clean nails and make sure there is no dirt under them. You can wear acrylic nails or nail polish if you want to. If you wear nail polish or acrylic nails all the time, your nails won't be as nice when you're older.
9
Be healthy. Eat decent food more often than junk. Everybody needs a healthy lifestyle to keep them alert and help them to live longer. You should eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, move enough every day to get your heart rate up, and drink plenty of water (this means drinking water whenever you are thirsty). This will help give your skin a natural, healthy look even if you don't wear makeup.
10
Try your best in school. Study hard and if you need help, ask! Make your family proud by doing well on tests and getting good grades. Learn as much as you can about the world around you and try to have interesting things to say. No, you won't use everything you learn in school, but think of school as a way to teach you how to learn. It sounds funny, but this is a very useful skill.
11
Be yourself. Don't try to be someone you are not to impress others or make friends. When people see that you can be yourself and be likable without trying to be someone you're not, others will admire you. You are unique in your own way, and this makes you just as special as anyone else.
12
Don't let anyone make you believe you need to be in a relationship. You can, there is no right age but you don't have to if you don't want to. Having to be in a relationship because of peer pressure is not good. But beware of hanging out with older, "cool" people. It could be dangerous for you. Stick around kids your age and be cautious with older children.
13
Be fun-loving. Fun people smile more, and chances are that people will like you more that way.
14
Try to make friends. If you're new in school, smile and try to make some jokes. It'll make the other kids think you're cool, and want to hang out with you. You never know--those people might be your best friends for life!
15
Smile. This will make people find you approachable and easy to talk to. Make sure you don't smile so much that it looks unnatural, however. Only show your teeth a little bit and make it look natural.
16
Have nice hair. Wash it every one or two days.

Warnings

Don't take this thing too far! If you just want to be yourself, it's okay.
