How to Look Good with Minimal Effort

For the girls that are interested in maintaining a feminine outer appearance, it is important to look put together at all times. However, doing so may be difficult or challenging. Life gets in the way and it becomes easier to just wear basic sweats than wear a nice outfit, or you make be going somewhere like the grocery store and don't necessarily want to put a lot of effort into your look. So here are 5 ways to look good with minimal effort. 

1. Keep your hair neat and clean in a style that suits your face. Hair plays a big role in a women's appearance as it is often associated with femininity. So make sure that your hairstyle is always on point. It doesn't have to be anything complicated. A simple neat ponytail or bun will do. You can throw on a cute headband or even a quick wig if you don't want to do your hair. Headband wigs are great for this because they are a quick and easy solution and require no lace or glue.

2. Wear clothes that fit you well in neutral colours. A big part of looking good is your outfit. A good outfit can make up for a lot. If you are not confident in your natural appearance, a good outfit can really help increase your self-confidence. Wear clothes that fit well, so they are not baggy or oversized as baggy and oversized clothes can make you look lazy, plain, or even give off the appearance that you are not comfortable with your body. Wearing fitted clothing is also a way to look more feminine as you are embracing your figure. Another easy way to look more elegant and expensive is to wear neutral colours. This includes colours like black, grey, brown, white or navy. These colours tend to communicate sophistication, elegance and professionalism, so wearing them helps create the illusion that you put a lot of time and effort into your look. Also wearing monochromatic outfits really helps create that expensive look. A monochromatic outfit can be an all-black outfit, an all-brown outfit or even an all-red outfit.

3. Stick with light, natural makeup. Do your brows, put on a little blush, some mascara and lip gloss. Putting on a little makeup will help make you look like you went the extra mile to look more presentable than just going bare face. It doesn't need to be anything extravagant. Keep it simple and quick. 

4. Wear one bold item. It can be a statement headband, earrings, scarf, purse, shoes, hat or a bold lip colour. Wearing one unique and stand-out item will create the illusion that you put effort into your appearance even if you are just wearing a black t-shirt and pants with your statement item. So make a point when you go shopping to look for unique and eye-catching accessories in bright colours or fun patterns and prints. 

5. Keep your nails polished and clean. Lastly, an easy way to look polished and good with minimal effort is to keep your nails clean and polished at all times. Don't walk around with chipped nail polish, chipped nails or dirt under your fingernails because it's an easy way to look like you don't care what you look like.
