Has he finally invited you to spend the evening alone? Starting to prepare, remember under what circumstances you met. This will largely determine the choice of cosmetics and accessories.
Preparing for a first date is, of course, pleasant chores, but also a reason for excitement. We have to answer the eternal questions: what to wear, how to put on makeup, fit in, perfume? To get to the point, remember where you met, how he first saw you. After all, he liked this image. Therefore, it is risky to change it drastically, but it is necessary to improve it.
An enhanced version of yourself
Did you meet at the gym, at the supermarket, or while walking your dog? Did he notice and single you out at a time when you were not happy with yourself? The opportunity has come to appear before the young man in all its glory. But do not get carried away with “tuning”: a nice girl with a ponytail and ballet shoes was called for a date, and not a vamp woman “on Louboutins”.
If you received an invitation to meet spontaneously and after work you can’t drop into the salon or go home, you can sprinkle your hair with dry shampoo and comb it well. This will give the hairstyle freshness and volume. Line only the eyes or only the lips, avoiding flashy shades. Changing perfume to a sharper one is not worth it now.
If the acquaintance took place in the gym, emphasize the figure that, apparently, your fan liked.. Will the dress have open shoulders or a neckline? Use bronzing powder. Apply it on the shoulders and in the hollow of the chest. The bronzer will give the skin a beautiful tan tone.
A lighter version of myself
Did you meet at a friends wedding, a dinner party, on the red carpet or at the theater? Did he see you in a luxurious dress, with an elaborate hairstyle and bright makeup? Then appearing on a date without makeup and in torn jeans will be a certain risk. But constantly maintaining an evening look is not always appropriate. Especially if the date is during the day. Show your fan your everyday look.
The most common men’s preferences: high heels, feminine clothes, delicate colors
Style your hair, but leave your hair soft, natural, so as not to scare a man with strands that are hard from styling products. No shiny body lotions or hair glosses: they can stain clothes and your boyfriend, embarrassing both of you. For makeup, choose waterproof products that will not let you down until the evening. Do not forget that bright makeup adds age, and you need to emphasize beauty and youth.
The perfect version of yourself
Did you meet on Tinder or did your friends decide to set you up? In other words, there will be a blind date. Then, when preparing for a meeting, just take into account the most common male preferences: high heels, feminine clothes, delicate colors.
“When starting makeup, remember that lip gloss leaves sticky residue. It is better to use lipstick in neutral shades or an invisible lip balm before a date, ”advises Nicolas Degenne, head of makeup-direction Givenchy. “It’s not for nothing that they call us cats,” he continues, “in girls we appreciate softness and a look! A thin arrow on the eyelids (unlike an eyeliner, the liner will not be erased during the night), thickly applied waterproof mascara and well-blended shadows will help you.
Men are conservative, so be careful with manicure: fashionable bright colors are accepted by few. Irritating and long acrylic nails, giving the hands a predatory look. The best option is medium length, oval shape and classic tone polish — red or pale pink.
