5 Ways Women Can Instantly Become More Attractive

The word "attractive" according to the Oxford English Dictionary is defined as pleasing in appearance or having qualities that arouse interest. While there are many different ways a woman can increase her attractiveness, there are 5 different ways that you can achieve this and walk out your door being instantly more attractive.

Aside from dramatically increasing your chances to arousing the interest of more men in your day to day activities, you will also boost your self-confidence with little to no effort as a result.

As a woman, becoming more attractive can also give you more energy, improve your relationships with other people and have an overall positive effect on your health and your life.

When I say instantly, I mean within a matter of minutes, in some cases, mere seconds. Interested yet? Here is quick breakdown of how it's done:

1. Smile- be aware of your facial expressions
2. Practice Good Posture- its all about body language
3. Know your body type and wear clothing that accentuates your best features
4. Always leave the house wearing makeup
5. Know what colors look good on you

That's all there is to it. It's not complicated and it doesn't matter what size you are, how much money you have or don't have, any woman can do this. So what are you waiting for?

It sounds almost too easy to say to someone, 'smile and you will instantly become more attractive' but it is true.

When I say smile, I'm not advocating you walk around with this demented frozen smile pasted on your face. That's scary, not attractive. What I mean by smile is to simply be aware of what is going on with your face. Do you tend to walk around looking like you're about to take someone's head off? Do you tend to wear a serious expression on your face most of the time?

Whether you realize it or not, people around you will take notice of the expression on your face and it will send a signal to them as to whether or not you are approachable. A woman who walks around with a sullen or serious expression on their face will be less approachable than a woman who looks content and relaxed. You don't have to smile 24/7 but you when you are out and about make an effort to relax your face muscles and be aware that people will read your facial expressions and respond accordingly.

When my face is completely relaxed I either look tired or pissed off, even if I'm not. It's always been a bit of a problem. Men would come up to me all the time at the clubs and ask if I was upset. This happened enough that I realized I had to actually lift the corners of my mouth and relax my eyes to look less pissed off and more friendly.

If you're not sure what your facial expression is most of the time, get a friend to take a few pictures or take pictures of yourself to see what you look like and if you need to work on relaxing your facial muscles.

It's such a little thing, facial expressions, but it can really have a huge impact on how often you will be approached by men, or anyone for that matter. A woman who seems content, happy and friendly is far more attractive to men and also more approachable too.

Didn't your mother always tell you not to slouch?

Bad posture is not only horrific for you health-wise (just ask my chiropractor) but it sends a message to people around you that you lack confidence and it certainly does you no favours in accentuating your figure.

There is a really cool thing about walking around with good posture, it has a direct and instant effect on your mood and by simply changing how you carry yourself, you can physically alter how you feel inside. Don't believe me? Try it right now!

It takes only seconds to correct your bad posture which typically includes slouching shoulders, having your head bent down or forward too far, etc. By rolling your shoulders back and lifting your chin up, you not only look taller, but also more confident, instantly! Did I mention that by moving your shoulders back your chest naturally comes forward and therefore your cleavage or breasts will seem just a little bigger and even, a tad perkier?

Every woman has a certain shape to their body. Some women are pear shaped, others are apple. Some women have no curves, and others have hourglass figures. By understanding what your body type is and wearing clothing that suits your body type, you will make yourself instantly more attractive, regardless of the label.

Wearing the latest fashion will do little to make you more attractive if the style is all wrong for your body type. Wearing the right style of pants or skirt for example, can instantly make you look slimmer, and by wearing the wrong style, can make you look heavier or shorter than you really are.

For example, my mother is barely 5'4" and if she wears skirts that have a hemline below her knees, she looks much shorter than she already is. Certain styles of dresses look better on certain body types. You could be completely in love with that new red dress you bought at the mall, but it could make your hips look even wider than they are. Who wants that?

Once you understand whether you are apple, pear, strawberry, rectangle or hourglass, you can go through your closet and see what clothing works with your body type and what doesn't. Many times, depending on the garment, you can have them altered to better suit your body type so don't feel that you now have to donate or throw away all those clothes that no longer suit you.

While it's true that men usually prefer the natural look on a woman, there is a world of difference between looking natural and wearing no makeup.

Unless you are naturally gorgeous, most of us other women require a little help looking that way with makeup.

What about just going to the grocery store, do I have to wear makeup for that? Let me ask you this, are you still single? If the answer is yes, then its probably a good idea that you follow my advice.

For something like running errands or paying bills, I don't think you should have to spend more than 5 minutes putting on makeup before you head out the door. This involves applying either a concealer or foundation where you need it to even out your skin, hide dark circles and cover any redness or breakouts. A dusting of powder, some blush, neutral lipstick or some lip gloss and a little mascara. There, you're done.

I don't know about you, but seeing myself in the mirror with no makeup on does nothing to increase my self-confidence, if anything it does the opposite. By putting on even just a little makeup you will look more refreshed, a little more polished and certainly more attractive. There is no need to actually look like you are wearing makeup, the point is to accentuate your natural beauty and give a little boost to your confidence at the same time.

You can have perfect makeup on, your hair done just right, but if you are wearing the wrong color, it can make you look like you're about to be sick. Not very attractive. Wear the right color, and you will instantly look like you are healthy and glowing.

How can you know what colors look good on you? Well, it starts by knowing your skin tone- does your skin have a pinkish undertone or is it more yellow? It will also depend on your hair color too.

One of the best resources for discovering your colors is the book Color Me Beautiful by Carole Jackson. This was the book that changed how I shopped for clothes, forever. I discovered that I was a "spring" and avoided buying clothing that was grey, black etc., because they just made me look pale and sick.

Everyone falls into one of the four seasons and has a palette of colors that suit them best, based on their hair color and skin tone (it has nothing to do with your birthday).

If you can't get your hands on that book, check out the link titled "What colors look best on you?" or the next time you are out clothes shopping, hold up the garment so that it's right next to your bare hand and you might be able to see if the color has warm or cool undertones and you will notice that certain colors will look better next to your skin than others.

Overall, women with a pinkish tone to their skin suit colors with blue undertones. Women with a yellow tone to their skin suit colors with yellow undertones.
