8 Ways to Feel More Attractive

We’ve all been there. We think our look is on fire and we go to snap a selfie and as soon as we see the pic, we aren’t nearly as satisfied as we think we should be. So the plan continues to snap 10–20 different pictures and then you finally give up.

It’s just part of life where some days, or weeks, we feel more attractive than other times, but we’ve compiled a list of ways to feel more attractive. You know, for those times the selfie just isn’t working. We’re not guaranteeing these tips will up your selfie game, but they will help boost your self-esteem.

Here are 8 simple ways to feel more attractive, almost immediately:

1. Exercise or go for a jog. This does wonders for your self-esteem, not to mention many other things!
2. Flirt with someone. Even if it feels difficult or you’re not in the mood, studies show that flirting, laughing and making direct eye contact help build and boost your ego.
3. Drink some coffee. While some people say to stay away from coffee and caffeine in general, it can actually boost your confidence and mood.
4. Invest in some red. Wearing red clothes is definitely helpful for feeling more attractive, but red lips also have some attractive powers too. One study shows red lips, like what you get with our Blood Moon Lipstick, were shown to grab attention for an average of 7.3 seconds.
5. Learn to take a compliment. Especially on days when you don’t feel as pretty or attractive, learn to take it and dwell on it for a little bit. You deserve it!
6. Write down something you love about your appearance. Lots of fashion and women’s magazines make this a feature in their print edition when they ask women from all over what they love about themselves. Maybe you don’t love your nose, but your freckles make you feel fun and unique. Focus on that.
7. Meditate and/or do yoga. Studies show that a positive and open stance can help you feel more confident and powerful.
8. Believe in yourself. As corny as that sounds, fake it ’til you make it, as the saying goes. If you feel confident and repeat confident and ego-boosting mantras to yourself, soon you’ll start to actually believe it and feel it!
