Proper Way(s) To Apply A Makeup When Going On A Date by jessicabanks: 5:54pm On Oct 03, 2013 |
▼ ‹ › Home View web version Sunday, 29 September 2013 Jessica Banks at 10:12 Proper way(s) to apply a makeup when going on a Date Simple makeup is the key When getting ready for a date, the romance, excitement, butterflies, anticipation and wanting to impress can mean that we get carried away. We decide to try a new hairstyle, makeup, dress sense or persona in an attempt to impress, but what we forget is that he asked you out because he likes you. Here are ten tips on how to do the sexiest hair and makeup for your date: Don’t have a dramatic change of hair cut/ colour pre-date He likes you the way you are. If you have a regular hairdresser you trust, get him or her to pop in some big Velcro rollers or have a lovely wash and blow-dry. Don’t have a facial Don’t have a facial the day before your date; generally facials are best done a few days before, in case of any little break-outs. Take the occasion into consideration You don’t want to be over-done or under- done. If it’s ‘a surprise’ and let’s face it, most of us hate those kind of dates , then find a happy medium and take a small makeup bag with you, just in case. After your bath or shower Put plenty of body moisturizer or body oil on as this will ensure the skin to be fully moisturized. Don’t forget elbows and feet and neckline. Make sure you look like ‘you’ You want to make sure that the make-up you wear is 'you'. If you get all done up for your date and it doesn't even resemble how you normally prefer to wear your make-up, you'll be sending a false impression to your date and will inevitably feel very uncomfortable and unable to fully relax. You’ve bagged the date because he likes you the way you are. While it's great to add a few extra touches to really enhance yourself, don't go for a complete opposite look of what you normally use. Unless you happen to wear red lipstick, bright blue nail varnish and black eyeliner on a regular basis, leave the drama behind. Your base Your makeup look begins beneath your foundation. Pluck, Prime and Conceal, ensuring a perfect canvas for your first-date look. If your skin is prone to shine, then use an oil- free primer. A good lip balm is essential, once applied rub a cotton bud over your lips as this will help massage it in. Makeup A fresh natural skin is always a winner. Unless it’s ‘you’, don’t go heavy on the foundation - it’s considered the biggest ever turn off for men. Enhance your best features. Don’t overdo the gloss; a light sheen is far sexier that lips that look thick and gloopy, otherwise you’re more likely to get a kiss on the cheek than on the lips! The best makeup is the kind you can forget about once it’s on. Just flash a confident friendly smile and have a great time! Touch-up makeup discreetly Try and keep makeup touch-ups to ‘the little girl’s room’. Powdering your nose or re- applying lipstick/gloss in front of your date destroys the illusion of “natural” and can seem a little high-maintenance. Go easy on the perfume While you definitely do want to make sure you smell good for your first date, try not to overload yourself. Spray into the air and ‘walk into it’, this will allow the scent to lightly fall on you rather than liberally spritzing neck, wrists and décolletage etc. You probably won’t really know what types of scents your date finds attractive and if you happen to choose one that doesn’t appeal to him and you smell like you’ve marinated yourself in the stuff, then this could really impact how long he wants to stay near you! Quick end to a potentially good date! Just remember to relax, be yourself and have a lovely time! for more visit my blog www.purejessica..com |
