Every woman wants to look her absolute best on a date. However, choosing the right date night look can be overwhelming. Different types of dates require different ensembles and makeup looks. To help you determine what your perfect date night look should be, here are some ideal looks for different types of dates.
A More Formal Affair
Are you going out with the type of guy who's going to take you somewhere upscale for dinner? This can be the most challenging type of date to dress and style yourself for, but it can also be the most fun. When it comes to your hair, this is definitely the time to rock some big, voluminous curls. Achieve this look with either a large barrel curling iron or hot rollers, depending on what you're more comfortable using.
When it comes to deciding on your makeup look, go with something that's dramatic but not over-the-top. Try a smoky eye, but instead of using overly dramatic black colors, select deep browns or greys for an eye that's smoky without being too editorial. Pair this eye makeup look with a glossy nude lip. For fashion, this is the best time to go with that old standard: the little black dress. Matched it with a pair of great heels.
The Casual Date
You don't want to look like you're trying too hard on a simple casual outdoor date. When it comes to your hair, this is a perfect time to rock some loose natural wind-blown waves. Simply apply a texturizing spray that contains sea salt to your wet hair after you step out of the shower. Scrunch your hair into loose waves or curls and allow it to air dry. If your hair is prone to losing texture, finish with a very light-hold hairspray.
For makeup, natural is the name of the game. Instead of wearing a full face of concealer, foundation and powder, pick a mineral foundation or a BB cream that will cover up your imperfections without looking too caked-on or heavy. For your eyes, pick a cream eyeshadow in a light shimmery color like champagne. Apply to the entirety of your eyelid, finishing with a light application of eyeliner and a volumizing mascara. For lips and cheeks, pick a cream product in a light color such as coral or pink.
Don't over-think what you wear on a casual beach or coffee date. Instead, find a cute, flowing top that suits your shape, pairing with a pair of capris or shorts. A pair of wedges will lengthen your legs and finish the look while also allowing you to walk comfortably in case you and your date decide to take a stroll around.
No matter what kind of date you're going on, always pick an outfit and beauty look that makes you feel comfortable. The secret to feeling great on a date is feeling your best, which means never wearing an outfit or a makeup look that doesn't feel right.
