How to Be Glamorous in Middle School

Middle school is the time in a girl's life when she wants to fit in with her peers yet stand out as an individual. Finding a compromise between the little girl and the glamorous superstar is difficult for some families. Read the steps below to learn how to be glamorous in middle school.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Purchase the latest teen fashion magazines. Browse the pages and point out what styles you like while asking parents for their opinions. Be prepared to hear a lot of negative comments regarding scantily-clad girls who wear too much makeup.
2. Shop for clothes. Find several styles you and your parents can agree upon. Take a parent so you won't have to return any items later. Try on items you both agree upon and ask if you can try on a few items you really like just for fun.
3. Being glamorous in middle school is not the same as being glamorous as an adult. Tone down your expectations. You have your whole life ahead of you to dress in an adult manner so just be the best you can be for your age.
4. Wear age-appropriate makeup. In middle school, a little eye shadow or lip gloss is all you need to be glamorous. If you wear too much makeup you risk looking like a clown in the circus. Keep it simple.
5. Style your hair in a flattering way every day. Clean, well-groomed hair, with a good cut gives you a glamorous look in middle school. Avoid hair hanging in your eyes. If you have to brush it back constantly just to see, you won't look glamorous.
6. Accessorize your outfit with simple jewelry such as small earrings and bracelets or a simple necklace. Heavy jewelry or dangling earrings are not glamorous.
7. Smile. The other students will appreciate a smile and a kind word as you pass in the hall. Resist the temptation to talk behind other's backs or insult other students.

Tips & Warnings

• Glamor is about inner attitude more than it is about makeup.
• To be glamorous you must act glamorous, which means presenting a gracious and kind attitude towards your peers.
