You know what they say. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty looks different to different people. Some prefer blondes and others, brunettes. Some like curves, and some like muscles. Some get a little specific and find high cheekbones or a sharp jawline attractive. But there are changes you can make right now to look universally more attractive that require very little effort. And it honestly has less to do with looks and more to do with the confidence these actions will give you. In this video, we’re going to look at some subtle ways you can make yourself more attractive all by incorporating colors and styles, reworking your body language, and rewiring your brain to think of yourself differently. So, let’s get to it!

#1 Take Care of Yourself

They don’t call it beauty sleep for nothing. Eight hours a night can work wonders for your skin and overall health making you appear more healthy, energetic, and fresher. That coupled with a healthy diet will automatically make you feel good in your skin. If you have a diet high in processed foods, it will show on your face and in your mood. Things like breakouts, stress levels rising, and sex drives plummeting all have an overall effect on your confidence. A good day-to-day regimen can not only keep you healthy and looking great, but it can also help with confidence, social anxiety, and stress. All of that makes a massive difference in how people perceive you. Quite simply, when you feel good, you look good!

#2 Whiten Your Teeth

All those Instagram pictures of influencers with teeth whitening kits have certainly got the right idea. Research shows that a good set of pearly whites goes a long way in ‘how attractive’ people think you are. In fact, whitening your teeth is the change most likely to make the most significant difference in how others perceive you. So grab that whitening kit!

#3 Get a Fresh Haircut

If you’ve been rocking the same cut since middle school, it’s time for a change. As you learn more about yourself, achieve milestones, travel, and make new friends, keeping all those experiences in touch with your style is essential. For example, if you’re regularly on the go, long hair can be difficult to style every morning. Or maybe a cut that worked in high school, no longer frames your face the right way since you grew up. Either way, make that trip to a salon and get a consultation on what cut would suit you best.

A hairstyle that perfectly complements your style and personality will automatically make you look more attractive.

#4 Pick a Signature Scent

Research shows that there is an incredibly strong link between attraction and scent. While not the only factor, scent can subconsciously influence a person’s attraction to another. Now, I’m not saying you should use a potent cologne in every nook and cranny of your body. That would have the opposite effect. But if you can pick a scent that matches your personality, there’s nothing like it. Wearing a fragrance you like can also boost your confidence, which will show in your walk and your talk!

#5 Groom Your Eyebrows

If you had to display a classical painting, something from the 1700s, would you use a sleek, modern black frame? No! You’d spring for a frame that would have a little bit more of an antique look. Right? Brows frame your face, so why wouldn’t you want your frame to be perfect? It shows a little extra attention to detail, which is all the more attractive. Instead of having two caterpillars, or one giant caterpillar on your forehead, take it to the salon and get it plucked or waxed. A well-groomed set of brows really cleans up your look.

#6 Upgrade Your Eyeglass Frames

For those of us too intimidated to use contact lenses, glasses become our frames instead of our eyebrows. And you need to pick those based on the shape of your face and style. Rounder faces, for example, look better with more angular frames because they help offset the roundedness. Angular faces look great with round frames. It brings out a little more balance. It’s all about experimenting and seeing what works best for you.

A good pair of glasses that complements your face shape and style will make you appear more put-together and more attractive.

#7 Add a Red Accent to Your Outfit

Color coding is everything. Blue says, I’m your friend. Yellow says, I’m a warm, affectionate person. And red says, well, hello there. Red undoubtedly stands out in a sea of people because not only is it associated with power, but it’s also associated with passion, heat, and sex. Incorporating a splash of red into your outfit – be it a scarf, a tie, or a watch – is the easiest way to instantly look more attractive.

#8 Hang Out with Friends

Ever heard of the cheerleader effect? Simply put, it’s a cognitive bias that makes people view someone more attractive if they’re in a group. This is due to the fact that people tend to average out faces in a group, making less attractive members appear more appealing. But why is that? Well, average faces are proven to initially be more attractive and appealing because it indicates a diverse gene pool. That’s right!

Whether they know it or not, people are drawn toward a face in the group most likely to produce healthy offspring.

#9 Uncross Your Arms

Certain actions can indicate either that you’re open or more reserved. Crossing your arms is one sure-fire way to keep people far away from you. That’s because it comes across as stand-offish and indicates that you are not open to conversing. How are you sitting right now? Some people naturally display closed-off body language. Arms folded, legs crossed, back hunched. None of these are doing you any favors. Instead, spread out a bit. No, don’t take an obscene amount of space and invade other people’s personal bubbles, but relax your body to seem more inviting and confident. Research even shows that relaxing helps those around you feel more comfortable as well.

#10 Modulate Your Tone

Believe it or not, even the tone of your voice can influence how attractive others find you. According to research, women with higher-pitched voices appear more desirable to males since it conveys a sense of youth. And because lower tones in the baritone range signal increased testosterone, a deeper voice gives males a more masculine air, making them more desirable to women.

#11 Be Real

None of the things we talked about will make any difference if you’re putting on a fake persona. While grooming and styling will make you more confident, it shouldn’t be a wall to hide behind. When you do this, you end up forming inauthentic relationships. Those who are most themselves are more attractive because it shows they have nothing to hide and that they unabashedly love themselves. Truth be told, if you love yourself, you’ll have an easier time finding love for others. And as your confidence and self-respect increase, so will your attractiveness.

So, which of these scientifically-proven tactics are you going to apply? We suggest all of them! It might just be the thing you need to melt away all those anxieties and self-confidence issues. So put on some red lipstick or a red tie, get a fresh new cut, put on your favorite scent, and get out there.
