4. Touch-ups
Stock your purse or briefcase with tools that you can use for those quick little touch-ups. Travel-sized deodorant, a nail file, a pocket mirror and toothpicks are your arsenal for looking your best at all times.
5. Get lippy
Lip gloss is a must. Bring it with you everywhere. Nothing could be easier, or freshen up a look faster!
6. Eye to eye
Direct eye contact is key, but steer clear of the intimidating stare-down. Even worse, avoid looking down at the floor, regardless of how nervous you may feel. Nothing screams low self-confidence louder than when your eyes are focused on the scuff marks on your shoes.
7. Grin and bear it
If you find yourself attending a social event solo, walk into the room with a big, warm smile -- instantly you come across as someone friendly, self-assured and, above all, approachable.
8. Walk the walk
Slouched shoulders begone! Good posture is a surefire way to look confident without saying a word. Keep your spine straight and tall, walk with a sure stride and keep your head up.
9. Meet and greet
When introducing yourself to someone new, keep it simple. Say who you are, how you came to be present at the event and then open the floor to him or her. Engage the speaker and show interest in what they have to say. You'll have a loyal fan base in no time.
10. Occasional pressure
Don't reserve your most memorable performances for special events and landmark occasions. Be your best self every day. A healthy inside undoubtedly shines on the outside!
