I have very low self confidence, what can I do to improve my look?

Janie asked:


I’m Jane.
I have recently discovered that I feel very poorly about my own personal appearence. I would like to feel better. I don’t care what others think, but this is for me. I want to be happy with who I am, and what I look like. I have brown poofy hair xP I need new styles, and ideas. I want to do something other then a pony tail and braids.
Here is what it looks like down –http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f80/Nintendoglover/Janespictures009.jpg

And heres up-http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f80/Nintendoglover/Janespictures014.jpg

(stupid pictures, but I dont feel like taking one now xP)

What can I do?
Also.. What style changes can I make? Im not fat. But im no stick. What colors would make me stand out more? What types of clothing, or stores.. have things that would flatter me. I’m not looking for WOW just an Ohh, I’m NOT ugly x]
I’m not looking for something slutty, Girly stuff is fine I tolerate it x]
Thanks x]

    You have to love yourself before you can appreciate yourself. Changing your look may make you feel good for a short while, but what you really need is to discover what makes you uniquely, wonderfully, YOU.

    Im sorry if im not helpful, but..u are really lovely looking and ur hair is gorgeous and thick. Honestly, ur beautiful. You’d look good in whatever you wore so, just wear whatever you want!! Maybe use a tinted moisturiser to even out your skin tone, but you don’t need foundation – keep it natural. x

    I think you are beautiful the way you are, Jane. I have no idea what to do with your hair (: It’s really pretty to me though, I know you don’t like it. Umm. Your face is really pretty too. The amount of makeup you put on is perfect. The mascara and eyeliner makes your eyes pop. And, green, it’s the perfect color. Your eyes are green.. So try to find the perfect shade of green. No loose shirts or jeans. Don’t make em tight either. Just like, fitted. Skinny jeans are perfect for you (: Hmm.. Yeah, that’s it (: We need to save our money and go shopping, k? Stuff at hollister really flatters you. Jeans from pacsun (: You know, the usual ;]
    Love you,

    You should try to get a edgy hair cut! cut it a little longer than your shoulders and get it layered! highlight it and try contact… natural color make up is SEXY! you have a great profile! try form fitting clothes! :) keep in contact i want to see you after you have made the changes!

    Pick up Vouge or somthing like that and take the trends that would suit you and tone them down a little. Tehn add somthing that says soimthing about you like a bright scarf or a badge and there you have it.
    Maybe get some layers in your hair or somthing. Just talk to the stylist and they’ll tell you what suits you and what dosen’t
    Love your glasses btw.

    You are a very pretty girl. Try running a hair straightener through your hair.

    First off your gorgeous dont let anyone tell you your not. But you can always do stuff to help make you feel pretty.
    Hair- Maybe get layers and cut it a bit i think its too long. Also maybe curl it more often. And maybe get highlight or dye your hair a bit lighter
    Makeup- Buy a foundation that will even out your skin tone, and mascara and eyeliner.
    Clothing- Wear whatever makes you feel pretty, bright colours are in so look for stuff like that and if you need help you can always ask your friends.
    Hope i helped sweetie. :]

    Your eyes are absolutely fantastic! Gorgeous color, your makeup on them is good.

    I think you should see a hair stylist, have a conference on the best, easy care hair style. Bold bright colors would look very nice on you.

    To gain self confidence, maybe do things, like join dramatics, or cheerleading, or choir. Stuff that you can do with a group that will make you feel good.

    Try wearing one of those V-neck, tighter in the bust area shirts. Light blue/green would look great on you ! You are really young so I wouldn’t go for black or darker colours. Watercolours are best. Also a nice light yellow top + black/gray pants/skirt combo would work great. And maybe a nice silver necklace.

    Your hair looks healthy, you can try bangs like Kate Nash:

    Or just grow it longer and get it cut at the same shoulder length. You can have it up either way it looks good !

    Natural make-up is best, light metallic colors-try light metallic
    gray/blue eyeliners.
