If your date on Valentines Day will be your first, then you are probably all jittery. You want it to be perfect because after all, you believe that first impressions last.
While one date is the not the basis for a good life-long relationship, we all would want to have an enjoyable time, right?
For one thing, you need to relax. If you are all jittery on your first date, then you are most likely to bungle up and by the end of the night, you will be a nervous wreck. So…relax.
1. Get a good night’s rest the night before. Sleep is a basic beauty tip. When you wake up the next day, your face will already be naturally glowing. If your date falls on a weekend, it would be great to even have a nap in the afternoon.
2. Get a mani-pedi. Not only will your finger and toes look neat and clean, you will also be able to relax at the salon. I would suggest neutral colors like “touch of tan” for a first date. It is a safe color that will make your nails look presentable without putting too much emphasis on them.
3. Go for the natural look. If you are going out in the evenings, it would be nice to put on some color that will highlight your features, especially if you are going to dine in dimly lit restaurants. Aside from a good foundation or powder, do apply pink blush and an appropriate color lipstick. Touch up if you need to a few times throughout the evening.
4. Curl those lashes. Even with the simple look, curled lashes really enhance a woman’s look. Use a curlash and a good quality, water-proof mascara to achieve the look. I would suggest that you avoid the false eyelashes–especially if you are not used to having them on your eyes. Dolled up lashes with eyeliner would really work well on an evening date.
5. If you are going to a disco or a bar after dinner, it would be nice to wear eye makeup that will achieve the smoky eyes.
6. As for the hair, keep it simple. Don’t do you hair to be drastically different than you usual style. You don’t want your date to mistake you for another person.
First dates should be fun. More than just impressing the new guy, work on enjoying yourself and having fun. Just remember, all these beauty stuff are just superficial. While it is nice to work on looking good, that should not just be the basis for having a relationship.
