The first thing is to stop focusing on your ideal of what 'good looks' are. Take my T. He's not typically good-looking but I think he is the most beautiful person (I don't mean I have romantic feelings for him, I just think he looks lovely, if that makes sense) because of what I know about him.

Secondly, a small change can make a big difference - figuring out my hair with a good cut and a good pair of straighteners has made a world of difference.

Lastly, figure out your style and find a few staple things that work for you. I seem to suit grey eyeshadow, a bit of pink blusher, and I like to wear dresses over jeans, so that's my 'thing'. I wear stuff that I like, that makes me feel good.

Personally I'm kind of into body art as well.
