If that doesn't work, then he's not worth your time. Keep reading this article for detailed instructions.

Steps

Applying Makeup

1. Focus on your skin. Having a clear face is an important step in grabbing a popular boy's attention. While you should mainly rely on your natural beauty, you should also remove flaws or acne that distract from your attractiveness. In order to do so, follow a light makeup routine in order to hide small blemishes and bring out a natural glow on your face:
   • First, use makeup sponge to apply a thin amount of liquid foundation on your face. Ensure that it is the same shade of your skin; otherwise, it may appear unnatural. Be sure that you spread some down your neck in order to maintain the same color.
   • Second, use a large brush to lightly dust your face with powder. This will help the foundation to stay on your face, as well as create a proper base for additional makeup.
   • Third, apply concealer over remaining blemishes. If you have bags under your eyes, cover them as well.
   • Fourth, use a big brush to add a light dusting of pink blush or face color. A good example of an excellent brand is Bare Minerals Clear Radiance face color.
2. Add color to your lips. Take good care of them to prevent them from becoming dry or chapped. If you have kissable lips, they will most likely grab his attention. The image of your lovely mouth won't be able to escape his thoughts if you follow the below steps:
   • First, apply chap stick to your lips every night. Forming this habit will prevent them from becoming chapped. Moisturized lips are ideal for applying lipstick in the morning. Another method is to brush your lips with a wet toothbrush, which exfoliates your mouth and removes dead skin.
   • Second, apply a light pink or red lipstick. Be sure that it is not too bold; otherwise, it may appear unnatural and unattractive.
   • Third, lightly apply a gloss to add shine to your lips.
   • Fourth, outline your mouth with a lip liner that is a shade darker than your lipstick and gloss. This step is optional.
3. Make your eyes bolder. They are one of your most unique facial features. and can be used as means of seduction and flirtation. To further draw out their beauty, accentuate their appearance with eye makeup:
   • Lengthen your eyelashes. By drawing attention to them with mascara, you can bat your eyelashes and have your guy swooning at your feet.
     • First, decide on the type of eyelashes you would like to have. You have the options of either long, thick, or both.
     • Second, when using the wand, wipe excess mascara off of the sides by using toilet paper or the side of the container. There should be enough remaining to use on your eyelashes.
     • Third, apply mascara to your eyelashes with careful and light motions.
     • Fourth, carefully pick or wipe off excess clumps of mascara on your eyelashes. You can also use a Q-tip to fix mistakes or remove stray bits of makeup from your face.
   • Outline your eyes. To place emphasis upon them and attract attention, you can use eyeliner to give them a larger or smaller appearance. When purchasing eyeliner, find a mixture between liquid and crayon eyeliner, as liquid is runny while crayon hurts during application and is difficult to use.
     • First, pull down the bottom of your eyelid.
     • Choose the color of your eyeliner (black, white, brown, or silver). Apply it on or below your waterline in thick but moderate strokes. Keeping it thick is important, as the waterline may cause it to be washed off.
     • Carefully apply eyeliner over your top eyelashes. Keep your stroke light as a thick line will cause you to appear to have a black eye.
   • Add color to your eyes. For a unique appearance that complements your outfits, use eyeshadow to add a dramatic flair to your eyes. Although optional, it is recommended if you want to place the focus on your eyes.
     • First, choose the color of your eyeshadow. To be safe, you can stay with plain colors, such as pink, white, silver, brown, and grey. However, it is recommended that you stay away from black.
     • Second, use an eyeshadow brush to lightly apply the color over your eyelid.
     • If you wish, you could blend two colors together. Apply a light shade before blending it with a dark layer on top. A good example of an ideal combination is black, white, and grey. Brown, pink, and white is another. Purple, white, and silver is also ideal.
4. Keep your nails pretty. Although they may not be as noticeable, your hands should appear just as beautiful as the rest of your body. Paint your fingernails and toenails, as weekly trips to the nail salon can be expensive. Keep your nails trimmed short unless you plan on doing french tips.
   • Clean your nails on a daily basis. Remove dirt and grit from underneath them. This will show that you take good care of your body.

Dressing Up

1. Stick to name brands. In order to attract attention from a popular boy, you should dress as though you were a part of the popular group. They often wear expensive brands, such as Hollister, American Eagle, or Abercrombie and Fitch. Although you could purchase a few sets of clothing from those places, you should shop at different stores that sell similar clothing at a lower, more reasonable price, such as Aeropostale. Garage sales or Goodwill are alternate options, although you should never let people know that you go there.
2. Find unique clothing. Although you should draw your inspiration from the popular people's outfits, never lose your own style. Dress fashionably, but add your own personal preferences in order to stand out. If you dress too similarly to the crowd, you won't easily catch a popular guy's attention. You may also be accused of copying.
   • Gradually ease into your new clothes. If you make an abrupt change, it will cause suspicion within people. They may spread rumors about you copying the popular people or attempting to impress someone.
3. Dress according to the season. Your fashion and wardrobe should change as the year progresses. For example, when summer comes, find clothing in lighter shades, such as light pink, yellow, and purple. However, once autumn begins to hit, adapt to natural colors that inspire thoughts of earth and fall, including light brown or grey. Include skinny jeans, yoga jeans, or sweatpants in your outfits. Good winter colors are dark blue, purple, white and black. Meanwhile, floral clothing is popular in the spring.
4. Wear jewelry. It is a simple way to add flair to an outfit. Have your ears pierced if you like, and start wearing necklaces with unique pendants. Purchase bracelets, watches, or rings to attract attention to your hands. However, beware of adding too many accessories, as you will appear tacky and unfashionable.
   • Employ the method of removing one accessory before you leave the house. If you feel that you have too many on, stick to your gut, as you may be right.

Maintaining Your Health

1. Stay on top of your personal hygiene. Take good care of your body, and it will show. Shower on a daily basis, and use deodorant to smell good. Wash your hair every two or three days, using an excellent shampoo and conditioner. Be sure to shave your legs and armpits to remove unwanted hairs. Keep your face clear by washing it with a chemical-free cleanser, toner, and moisturizer.
2. Stick to a healthy diet. By keeping your meals balanced with good nutrients and healthy foods, you will be able to maintain your weight. Include carbohydrates in your meals for high energy levels so that you will always appear alive and active. If you eat good foods, it will in your vibrant, glowing appearance.
3. Keep your body fit. Exercise on a daily basis for at least thirty minutes. If you have trouble finding time, you can separate your workout time into three separate sessions, each one lasting ten minutes. Find exercises that appeal to you the most, such as running or lifting weights. Understand that you should recognize and respect your limits when exercising, as you could potentially damage yourself if you push your boundaries.
4. Wear perfume. To attract him, use enticing perfume that does not smell overwhelming. Floral and vanilla scents are natural smells that are the most attractive. To ensure that you leave a subtle but sweet scent on your body, release one spritz of perfume in the air before walking through it.
5. Keep your teeth healthy. Brush them twice a day, and floss them to get rid of buildups in the gums. Include mouthwash in your daily regime to fight bad-smelling bacteria. Keep mints with you at all times for fresh breath in case you need to talk to him. Be sure to have regular appointments at the dentist's in order to maintain your teeth's health.
6. Do your laundry. To ensure that your clothes appear fresh and smell nice, clean them during your free time. Wear shirts only once before washing them. Avoid wearing pants or shorts more than twice, as dirt and smells could build up on them. Be sure that you plan your outfits ahead of time so that you know when to do your laundry.

Socializing and Being Yourself

1. Be yourself. Although you may be tweaking your appearance, never forget that your personality can be a powerful tool. Although a popular guy may like you for your appearance, he should also like you for who you are. Otherwise, it is not worth it. Despite how people think you should behave, be yourself and do what you enjoy. Becoming a fake, lifeless doll who relies on people's opinions is a bad direction.
2. Have conversations with the popular guy. Without taking any steps forward, you will not be able to progress in a relationship with him. By initiating a conversation and showing that you are confident in yourself, you will catch his attention and show him that you exist. If you remain in the background and only stare at him, he will not be interested in you and may think of you as creepy. Find the right times to talk to him:
   • Use large group activities at school to your advantage. Show your intelligence and skills on projects, as this will impress him. Socialize with all the group members to prove that you are a social butterfly. This will also give you the excuse to talk to him. However, avoid placing your entire focus upon him, as this will cause you to appear desperate. Allow him to hang out with his friends, but occasionally drop by for a short conversation with him. After the project is over, continue talking to him once in a while. If he is interested in you, he'll eventually start initiating the conversations.
   • Attend after-school meetings. Casual locations, such as the park or community swimming pool, are ideal as he may be alone or with a small group of friends. If you see him, wave and start a conversation about your plans and activities. However, avoid pulling him away for too long, as he may become annoyed.
     • If he has a small sibling, show your kindness to him or her. This will show the popular guy that you are good with children. However, avoid being overly sweet and fake; otherwise, he may dislike you and feel that you are using his sibling to win his favor.
     • Ask the popular guy about his interests. Show him that you are genuinely interested in his life. For example, if he plays football, ask him about last night's game. However, if his hobbies bore you, avoid spending too long on the topics, as your boredom will show. Instead, find common interests or activities that you both participate in.
     • Compliment him. If he has a talent in a certain area that you didn't expect, offer him a genuine compliment. This may open up the path to a new conversation. However, avoid gushing over him or being overly sweet; otherwise, he may feel uncomfortable.
3. Make him feel helpful. Accidentally drop your belongings, or ask him to reach an item on a shelf or locker for you. You could also ask for his help on a question or an assignment. However, avoid being needy and constantly asking for his help. You should also show him that you can be independent and strong without him. If you constantly cling to him, he may feel smothered and think of you as weak.
4. Flirt. Boys are often attracted by a flirtatious girl who knows how to set the tone. Use subtle methods to show your attraction to him, such as twirling your hair, lowering your voice, or wearing slightly suggestive clothing. Wear semi-low, cute tops, as well as dresses or skirts that fall slightly above the knee. Occasionally bat your eyelashes, and don't hesitate to smile or wave to him. Have a confident walk as if you have places to be.
5. Be mysterious. Although boys may be attracted by a flirtatious girl, they are often turned off by one who constantly throws herself at them. In order to set the mood and raise his interest in you, add an element of mysteriousness to your personality. Be secretive about certain aspects of your life. If he questions you about them, use slightly flirtatious lines, such as, "I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." You could also drop hints about having a crush on a certain boy, but avoid revealing too much information.
6. Show off your skills. Although you should avoid completely bragging about them, attract his attention by flaunting your intelligence and talents a little. Jog past him to show him how fast you are. Do your best in gym class, or show him your excellent skills on the computer. By proving to him that you are capable of different activities, you will be able to capture his interest.
   • Beware of pushing your limits in skills that you are not good with. If he finds out that you are not as good as you claim, he may dislike you for lying.
7. Build a social life on the Internet. Make sure that you are also well-connected outside of school. Add the popular guy on several social media websites, such as Facebook and Twitter. Once in a while, send him friendly messages, which will let him know that you are thinking of him and that you care. Upload good photos of yourself, and make sure you look your best in them, as he could see them. However, avoid following all of his accounts; otherwise, you'll appear to be a stalker.
   • If a friend tags you in a bad picture, untag it.
8. Don't wait for him forever. If he has a girlfriend or doesn't like you, find other nice boys. Understand that it is not the end of the friendship if he shows no interest in you. Continue to maintain your relationship with him by talking to him; otherwise, he may feel as if you were using him, and you might have destroyed a potentially important bond. Realize that there is still hope that he may like you in the future, but don't heavily rely on it.

Tips

• Remember to never change your personality or appearance for him. There is a difference between dressing up and dying your hair blonde, being a mean person, and becoming anorexic. If you are insecure about your weight, go on a diet and start a steady exercise routine for yourself. But remember that you are beautiful no matter what size you are.

Warnings

• It is possible that the popular guy could end up being a jerk once you get to know him. Do not stay with him if he isn't a person that you admire on the inside and outside. Do not please him with beauty if he is ugly on the inside.
