Transcript:10 Ways to Look Sexy Instantly

Hi, I'm Nadia Chapman for About.com. Every women wants to feel and look sexy. But, how can you feminine without being too provocative? Well, it's pretty easy and accessible to everyone. Follow these 10 ways to look sexy instantly.

Put On Light Makeup to Look Sexy Instantly

First of all, put some makeup on. If you are not familiar with makeup, stop by a makeup counter and ask questions, and try different products. Applying a light foundation, a bit of bronzer, eyeliner or mascara, a lip stick, or a simple gloss can enhance your features. Makeup will make you feel and look sexy instantly, just don't overdo it.

Take care of your nails. Fingernails, toenails -- don't neglect those extremities! Clean, cut and add color for a beautiful, and clean look.

Take Care of Skin and Nails to Look Sexy Instantly

How about taking care of your skin? Wash, exfoliate and hydrate the biggest organ of your body. A healthy looking skin is sexy. Add a self tanner if you wish to expose a sun-kissed look.

Don't forget to shave or wax your legs, arm pits, and bikini area, and don't neglect those eyebrows either! You will feel good about your self, and look clean, and sexy too.

Smile and Be Confident to Look Sexy Instantly

Don't forget the body language, and smile. Take care of your smile too; brush, floss, and purchase teeth whitening products if you want a brighter smile. A pretty smile will make you more comfortable, and will not go unnoticed.

Look in people's eyes when you talk to them. A deep and sincere look will make you look more confident. And confidence is the sexiest thing you can wear.

Exercise often. Staying in shape will not only make you look your best, but it will make you feel good about your self. Exercising offers many benefits other than burning fat and building muscles. It can clear up your skin, improve your posture, and get rid of the toxins while sweating. Exercising can even improve your sex drive, so get off your couch, and get moving.

Show Off Your Body to Look Sexy Instantly

Show off your body, but keep it classy. How can you do that? It's simple, show off one asset at the time. If you wish to show off you legs, keep the low cleavage for another time. Show off your legs with heels, or a short skirt or dress. Put your hair up to show off your neck too.

Wear red. Red is the color of love, romance, and sexiness. Just keep it simple, and don't go over the top. Wear a red accessory such as a red bag, red shoes, red jewelry or a red jacket. Red is guaranteed to get attention, and will most likely make you look sexy and feminine.

Take care of your hair. For some tips on hair care and styles, please visit our About.com Beauty site! Make sure you hair reflects your personality. Have fun with hair styles depending on the event you are attending.

Avoid Sloppy Clothes to Look Sexy Instantly

Finally, avoid sloppy clothes such as baggy pants and shirts, flip flops, torn or dirty clothes. Be polished and wear clothes that fit you. You don't have to spend a fortune on clothes to look sexy.

Wear jeans that fit you well, a dress that flatters your curves or a sexy leather jacket. Browse magazines if you lack the inspiration. Respect your age group, but don't stick to any rules. With a lot of confidence, everything goes.
