Going out on a date is fun, thrilling, and should be a good time for you. Yes, you’ll be nervous, but that’s normal. First impressions are important, so let me give you some tips on how to do your makeup right. I used to work for Estee Lauder and did makeup for a modeling company previously. I found that I was doing a lot of the same mistakes! These ideas for makeup on a first date can help you make sure your makeup is perfect for your special night the next time you get all dressed up for a date.
Don’t use too much eye shadow
One of our readers, Bee, was kind enough to send in this point. Thanks, Bee! You can add your own point to the end of this post if you want. We’d love to hear from you!
If you love your eye shadow like I do, choose a light matte that goes with your attire. On a first date, you need to wear light makeup. Eye shadow can make your eyes stand out, but like cat eyes, wait till another night that isn’t the first date.
When you pick out your eye shadow, make sure it’s not too bright. You don’t need much to make your natural beauty stand out without being overdone. Keep in mind that the goal is to seem effortlessly stylish. Stick to neutral colors or light pinks that go well with your skin tone and make your eyes look a little more defined. This method maintains the attention on you and lets you interact with others in a real way, instead of your cosmetics.
Don’t Put on Red Lipstick
One of the most critical cosmetic tips for a first date is something you might not think is a huge issue, but it really is! Red lipstick means daring, sensual, and sophisticated. That’s hardly a negative thing, is it? Not always, but it can be a bit too much for a first date. You don’t want to look like you’re trying too hard on your first date, and red might create a strong impression that way. Also, some colors don’t look good on everyone. When you use red lipstick, it should be the correct shade for you. It’s ideal to wear it to work or a special occasion instead of on a first date when you want to look as soft and feminine as possible.
Don’t put on too much blush
Wearing too much blush is also a big no-no. It’s tempting to use too much blush, but you should keep it light and gentle instead. Pick a peachy color that isn’t as striking but is still quite feminine. Keep in mind that guys appreciate makeup that looks soft, not harsh. So only place blush on the apples of your cheeks and don’t put too much on. A few dabs will do the trick!
When putting on blush, use a soft touch and mix it well so there aren’t any hard lines. Choose a color that goes well with your skin tone to get that healthy, natural shine. If you’re not sure, it can help to practice a little bit ahead. You want to seem like you simply took a quick walk in the cold air, not like you’re going to a costume party. The goal is to be subtle. You want him to see how beautiful you are, not the makeup on your cheeks.
Do Keep Your Pout Soft
You shouldn’t use lipstick, but you should put something attractive on your pout (your lips). Choose a softer lipstick color or gloss instead of a bolder, drier lipstick color. Gloss appears more relaxed and feminine. Light mauve or champagne-colored glosses that make your natural lip color look better usually work nicely, as do peachy and delicate pinks. Clear is also a good choice for a really natural look.
“Making yourself look better doesn’t always imply aiming for the shiny look. More women are now interested in a finish that doesn’t shine. With the correct tools and procedures, you may also achieve a flawless, subtle glow. These amazing matte makeup tutorials will show you how to conquer this trend. “Improve your natural skin tone without the extra shine.”
Check Your Teeth Please check your teeth
If you wear lipstick, you should check your teeth every so often during the night to make sure you don’t have any on them. No one wants to return home or use the bathroom and realize that they have lipstick on their teeth all night! What a bad date!
Do Make Your Lashes Look Bigger
Mascara is one thing you can use a lot of. Choose one that doesn’t clump or appear fake, but feel free to wear two or three coats to make your eyes stand out. Also, make sure you choose one that doesn’t flake. This can be hard, but it can be done. I enjoy natural mascaras that don’t bother my eyes, like Ecco Bella. Adding a couple coats of high-quality mascara is absolutely something you don’t want to neglect. Guys adore girls with attractive eyes.
Think about the wand and formula while choosing mascara for your first date. A curved brush can help raise your lashes and make you look wide-eyed and innocent. A formula that adds volume can give you a dramatic look that’s perfect for a night out. Let each coat dry a little before putting on the next one to avoid clumping. Don’t forget to softly twist the brush at the base of your lashes to make them look fuller from root to tip. Most importantly, pick a mascara that makes you feel confident and looks good with your natural attractiveness.
Be careful with the eyeliner
I wear my black eyeliner every day and adore it, but I know not to go overboard. When you’re on a date, make sure you don’t go overboard with your eyeliner. It can make you look less beautiful and less pretty. Using a pencil instead of liquid and being careful with it is one simple way to do this. You may save your cat eyes design for another night. On a first date, simply keep it simple.
Choose a Good Powder
We don’t want you to become greasy on your date night, so make sure you have a good powder in your purse. You don’t have to put it on every time you look in the mirror, but you should always have it with you just in case. Your face may get sweaty or dry up, so bring some tissues to wipe it off. Also, don’t use too much powder, because too much can make you look overdone and give you the appearance of fine lines. Choose a high-quality powder that matches your skin tone so that it seems natural. I enjoy Physicians Formula BB powder since it goes on smoothly and doesn’t look overly dry. I never have to put it on again since it keeps me looking fresh all day and night.
