When you know you look good, your confidence will not waver. Moreover, no matter how much you would like to deny the fact that you like the way your body is, you know that you deeply hate having to wear over-sized clothes to hide the bulge, or on the other hand, not having any curves to flaunt.

Remember to keep your diet in mind, and get a good night's sleep for that flawless, glowing skin.

If you're having trouble making a choice, get hold of a fashion conscious friend who can help you out, and who will give you an honest opinion about the way you look in a particular outfit.

Opt for a New Hairstyle
Changing your hairstyle is the cardinal rule of all makeover tips. Women, you don't always want to be a doe-eyed meek girl, neither is your tomboy image going to last too long. Opt for a feminine yet trendy look. Long hair is genuinely beautiful, and when styled in the right manner, it can transform your overall appearance.

Take a look at these articles on hair makeover for men and messy hairstyles for men. If you are unsure about what style will suit you, go to a salon that can give you professional advice on the perfect haircut for you, depending on the shape of your face, and your personality.

Makeup and Skin Care
A little makeup never hurt anyone. Apply some light makeup when you leave your house, whether it's for work, or just for a coffee date. Kohl-lined eyes, or a layer of lip gloss can make a world of a difference. Apply a tinted moisturizer with SPF for that glowing look. Sometimes, a small amount of eyeshadow in a neutral shade can give your makeup the much needed finishing touch.

Men may not apply makeup, but following a skin care regime is an absolute must for you too. The 'metrosexual man' may not be in anymore, but certain basics do not change, and skin care is one of them. It is only when you start following a good regime will you be able to notice the difference in your skin before, and after.

Accessorize
Always remember to accessorize. Though sometimes the 'no-jewelry' look for a perfect outfit strikes the right chord, even just a pair of earrings as an accessory will definitely enhance your look. Apart from jewelry, invest in scarves, jackets, hats, and even the right shoes. These accessories are applicable to all you men too. As you get acquainted with these accessories, you will learn how to wear them to look your best, and eventually make them your personal style statement.

Grooming Your Personality
Invest some time in personal development; the way you walk, the way you carry yourself, the way you speak, the way you behave among a group of people, and what you speak about, all affect the way you are perceived. It does help to be well-informed, so that you can make a contribution to a conversation, and leave an impression that is lasting. Remember it is not wrong to have an opinion. You don't always have to agree with the common consensus. However, keep yourself open to the opinion of others. Also, be open to newness and adventure, to trying out something you've never done before, just like this makeover!

Getting a makeover is not about fitting into stereotypes, neither does it change the person you are. It just introduces you to a more charming version of yourself. As mentioned before, for these makeover tips to work, you have to be mentally prepared. Once you've applied them, notice how you have all heads turn in your direction. Good luck!
