For a long time now, my friend has always told me that I wasn't ugly. She said I wasn't pretty, but not ugly. It's true.
I'm Mexican, so I have the general black hair, brown eyes, and tan skin that most other Mexicans have. And because most others have it, I feel as though I don't stand out from the crowd.
And my low self-esteem doesn't help.
What can I do to look better without making a huge change?

That's easy...- Smile! And smile like you MEAN IT!!! Alot of beauty really DOES come from within...-And if you go around smiling as though you know something everybody else doesn't, people are going to think, "Hmm- that girl's got something going on...Maybe I'd better go check her out..." No kidding- it works! As for your low self-esteem, that's a more serious issue. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with you- that the right boyfriend who makes you feel good about yourself -can't fix! But don't let just ANY guy take you out; he has to be good enough for you. YOU choose the guy- and good luck with your life.

Make sure if you want a new look, you're doing it for yourself, not because of what anybody thinks. I think Mexican females are beautiful. I'm African American, with shoulder length hair and the brown eyes, like most African Americans have, regardless, I still stand out, from all the rest, because, I am my own person.

With your skin, eyes, and hair, you can wear any color that you choose. Vibrant colors that those of us that have pale skin can't wear. (I've always envied that a bit, I like color) Shop for some unusual earrings. Antique gold, or sterling silver. Learn how to apply the makeup, it's not so much what colors you use, as how you're applying it. I'm sure that you look better than you think you do. Have some fun with this, develop your own style, you don't have to look and dress just like everyone else.

You start by looking in the mirror and seeing yourself and realizing that there is no other you out there! Stand up straight, pick your bottom lip up off of the floor and try to understand that if you think such negative thoughts, then that is what other people see...your negative thoughts...the first step was asking the question..you just did that...the next step is having some faith in yourself and the fact that every woman is beautiful in her own unique way and it is simply the confidence that she has about being herself that draws other people in to her!
So, try looking in that mirror one more time chica....maybe you will see someone new looking back at you!
PS..Kill all that negative self talk...it won't get you anywhere!

Don't listen to what other people say, If u want to change u should get honey colored highlights, cut your hair in layers. That's about it. Nothing much. It may even boost your self-esteem. u should also consider hanging around other people...guys...nice ones that flirt with u.

Get some damn confidence first then dump your friend because a true friend does'nt tell you, you are ugly. She tells you, you are beautiful even if you are'nt. I'd start with bronzer it will give you a healthy glow a little liner and curl your lashes. That should do it.

If you've got black hair, lighten it up with some reds and blondes, maybe cut it,, or style it. Try something new with your make up, try naturals, if not, blues, purples, etc. I'm sure you're beautiful, and nobody can think you're hot unless you think you're hot first.

accessorize! if your ears are pierced, wear earrings that dangle toward your shoulders (not too long though). keep your eyebrows arched and always wear lip gloss. have confidence! confidence is so sexy! oh, and keep a positive attitude, because if you're beautiful on the inside, it will show on the outside. : )
you're probably pretty anyway.....

You need to start accepting yourself for who you are and love yourself before you begin to feel better.
If you really want to change your appearance, ask someone to make suggestions as to the makeup and clothing that best suits you.
