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!
