Answer 1

Working out and eating right are great goals. Start small so that it becomes a habit to, say, take a 20 minute walk everyday after school. That way it'll just be normal and you might even like it! :)

As far as slimming down in order to fit into cute clothes....... Being slim has absolutely nothing to do with cute clothes or with looking great. Take a look around you at girls who you think have great style or look cute a lot. Are all of them "chubby"? NO! Some of the most glowing, popular, stylish girls I know are big (as in plus size). They just know how to dress themselves to accentuate what they want to accentuate. For instance, the smallest part of their torso. For some people it's their natural waist. For others it's above their waist, right below the bra band. Look for dresses and tops that accentuate your smallest part. If your top is baggy (like a jersey t-shirt dress) where a wide belt in a bold color.

If you're really unsure of what to where, get a friend who has a good eye (not just for themselves but in general an artistic person) to go shopping with you and five you honest advice. Also, get that person to help you pick a new cute hair cut for Fall. Just be confident and you can't go wrong, no matter what you do or wear!

Answer 2

ok  so here what i think (:

1. your eyes are gorgeous! dont wear black eyeshadow and ruin them like some girls,  i  would say buy an eyelash curler and brown mascara, learn online how to apply or ask your mom/older sis because that wouls make  your eyes even more beautiful! also aplly blush too, not too much, you dont want to look like a clown haha

2. next time you get a haircut ,get a styled haircut, not just a trim, get like side bangs or omething, not saying your hair is ugly, its just too plain.

3. you dont look chubby at all, your prob. just inscure, but if you really wanna  lose weight , join a sport, i would recomend doing soccer, b-ball or cross country because they burn more calories.

4. i would suggest shopping at forever 21, they have really stylish clother and cheap compared to tother stores!

hope it helped and sorry it was so long!

Answer 7

dont you mean how can you get pretty?

Answer 8

I think you're naturally pretty, but you should start wearing hair clips, and tying your hair back. that would look really nice. go to clair's! they have lots of cute stuff. also, wearing less sweatshirts makes you look classy.  try baby doll tops.  

Answer 9

Just Try to be confident in yourself everyone has there own look and be prowd of it but if your really desperate just try put foundation on and a bit of blush and some mascara dont be afraid to use more makeup. Buy some good straightners like GHD's they probz sell them on ebay and sraighten your hair and u will look well gorgous.Now for weight loss i dont no try weight watchers food and go swimming 2 or 3 times a week and do legnths at a ftness club no like doncaster dome lol.

Answer 10

makeup and dye hair lighter and get it style  

Answer 11

Stab yourself repeatedly in the face with a soldering iron, christ,

Answer 12

I think you are pretty, but your bangs are WAY too short. Try to clip them up or put them up with a headband until they grow out, because they do not look good short! Once they get longer, they will look better. Also, you should grow your hair longer. Get a haircut every 10 or so weeks, so that you don't get dead ends, but not too often so that it will grow out. You also look way younger than 16. You look 12 or so, so you should also wear a little make up ;  mascara, eyeliner, foundation, etc. and put concealer underneath your eyes to cover up the bags. You will be surprised how much older it makes you look!You also do not look fat at all. But if you really want to lose weight, which you don't need to, you should eat the same amount you are now, but just healther. Cut out the unhealthy snacks and replace them with fruits and vegetables. Also, work out a couple times a week. Buy a gym membership so that you force yourself to go. If you want to dress nicer, try not to wear big t-shirts and shorts everywhere. You can really buy a lot of cute clothes for really inexpensive prices. You can go to Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, Target, Old Navy, etc. You just need a couple pairs of jeans and a few nice tops to replace your shorts and t-shirts. You shouldn't be so self concious about your looks, weight and body because you really have nothing to worry about. Just be yourself and get some confidence...good luck! :)  

Answer 13

Well, if you say you're chubby, you're probably not, just maybe some "flab" in a spot you might not like.

but what you change is to make them take your eyes off the bad parts and make them look at the good ones

I was in the exact same spot as you were

Here's what i did to make myself look better:

for my makeup-

I found  a foundation that matched my skin tone (and since you have a pretty close skin tone, that won't be hard for you) and added it evenly around my face (cheeks, chin, jaw, nose, eyelids, ect.)

i used a darker tone of coverup under my eyes for my dark circles

for my eyes, i only used a dark brown eyeliner on the ends of my top eyelid only, added mascara evenly on each lash

and for you since you have cute cheeks when you smile, i would use a pink blush and add them on your cheeks (while you're smiling)

clothes-

toss our the baggy clothes and go "explore" in various stores in your area

my personal favorite is old navy, because it's laid back and sales are around 24/7

i would find yourself a cardigan and wear babydoll tshirts, that's most comfortable, but it depends on what your features are like, because i can't tell (like good arms, chubby legs, tiny waist, big b***s, wide back, etc. etc.)

and for your hair!

i would say get bangs, wash and condition real well so it doesn't look so greasy, and let your hair grow out some.

Answer 14

By getting plastic surgery

Answer 15

You're really pretty, water can help with being a bit chubby, and there are fun exercises to do, or maybe a sport or something. There's nothing wrong with being chubby. The other part is being confident in yourself, real beauty isn't being called hot, it's knowing that you're a good person inside, and buy whatever clothes you're comfortable in, I like charlotte russe, rue21, and stuff like that. Try taking a trip to the mall and look in all the stores that have clothes that look cute to you. You can find good stuff at department stores too. If you really don't like the fact that you are a little plump, babydoll tops are really cute.

Answer 16

you seriously want to know how to 'become prettier'?

grow some confidence. you're 16 years old and posting pictures on yahoo!answers to ask strangers what you should do with yourself. the day you grow up, stop caring, and become your own person... not like 'all your friends'.... you'll look a million times cuter. i know girls, big, small, and in between, who are the most beautiful girls in the whole world. they embrace what they have, half of the time they don't wear makeup, and they're amazing. they develop their own sense of self.

Answer 17

Wow...

first off, style your hair. get it dyed to a darker color too.

wear makeup, it'll make you look way better.

exercise. if you REALLY want to lose weight, then you will stick to it.

though I don't even see how you think you're fat.

go to the mall and buy some stylish clothes. big shirts? gross.

Answer 18

Actually, you don't have to be a twig to be cute. I'm a big boy and I fit well in Hollister.

Anyways, I would recommend a new haircut. NAO. Not sure what though, go to a hair salon and see what they can do. Oh, if it's possible, see if they can give you make-up suggestions. I'd suggest a dark eyeliner/mascara to make your eyes POP.

Oh, you can eat whatever you want on a diet, but it's all in portions. Keep with the running and exercise thing, that's excellent and'll help in the long run.

Anyways, good luck. :D

Answer 19

Get a new hairstyle and put on a little makeup.

Answer 20

actually you are pretty you just need a new hair style ... get a graduated bob like paris hiltons was...you have the face shape for it. dont dye your hair leave it natural because it has a really pretty look to it and if you dye it you will regret it for sure. also straighten your hair but make sure you get a ceramic straightener so it doesn't kill your hair.

okay now the make up. you have a nice completion so you dont need foundation or anything but if you really want to you could get a power and use it every once and awhile. start wearing eye make up like mascara and eyeliner. also get a natural brown eye shadow.

um the clothes situation...well really all you need to do is take a trip to the mall en pick out things you like. go to hollister, forever 21, aeropostale, the buckle (amazing jeans but a little expensive) american eagle, pacsun, and really anything that they have at the mall, its not hard to get in style and its pretty fun to change your look

you really are pretty you just dont know how to work with your looks yet. good luck hope i helped
