First Date Hair and Make Up Tips – Guest Post

in Guest Post on 10/01/12

Powered by Mom Blog is pleased to share this guest post

Feel free to leave any constructive comments and as always please be respectful 🙂

 Of all the times that you want and need to look your best, a first date with a new love interest is up there with – and probably just ahead of – a job interview. Looking good means feeling good, so getting your hair and make-up right before a date is crucial.

The question is, what is the right hair and make-up combination for you? Also, how can you spot a style that simply does not work? How can you be expected to know the difference?

Do not worry, this article will tell you everything you need to know about styling so that you can go on your first date with your (perfectly coiffed) head held high, confident you look as good as you possibly can.

Tools of the trade

Wherever you purchase your beauty supplies, making sure you have a good array of make-up colours and styles, as well as hair accessories and products, is key to getting the look right. Here are five tips to making sure you look your best on your big night.

1. Add a hair accessory.

Don’t want to wear your hair down, but worried that pulling it all up looks too glam or a bit severe? A hair accessory could be just the answer. Whether it’s a glittery butterfly, a simple slide or a comb, adding an accessory to your current do allows you to update and change your look from whatever you’ve been rocking in the daytime without having to spend a huge amount of time (and indeed talent) you may not have getting an ‘up-do’ just right.

2. Red or bright lipstick.

Red lipstick has always screamed confidence, but you don’t have to be bold or brash to wear it. Any bright colour will do and if you make the rest of your make-up understated, it will really stand out without being OTT. The best bit? Bright lip colour instantly updates your daytime look into something a little more flirty.

Wear it like a pro

3. Smoky eyes.

Smoky eyes are another beauty classic that can have an amazing effect. Black is the traditional colour to use, although grey tones and blues have both also been en vogue in recent months. Just layer up the colour gradually and you won’t go wrong

4. Half and half.

The half-up, half-down hairstyle has been a hit with celebrities on the red carpet in recent months. More glamorous than wearing all of your hair down, but easier to do and less formal than wearing it all up, this is a style that screams both elegance and effortless chic. Try tonging the underside into some loose curls and ensure the up part is held in place quite loosely and glamour will be yours.

5. Blusher.

Blusher is a make-up staple that many are afraid of, fearing tiger stripes on the cheeks that refuse to blend in; however, a small amount of a light pink blusher, blended in well, can work wonders on a tired, wan face, transforming it into a healthy visage. The secret is not to use too much and to concentrate on the apples of the cheeks, which are the bits that stick out when you smile.

I’m Michelle aka Powered by Mom. I’m married with one daughter, my hubby was my high school sweetheart, our two dogs Nyx and Cleo and our cat Oliver. As you can see we’re a family of animal lovers. We love to travel when we can, try different food and activities all over the world and enjoy being together. My passions are writing, travelling, creating new recipes, encouraging people to adopt not shop and just to enjoy life while we can.

As an animal lover I also volunteer with a rescue organization called Three Little Pitties All Breed Rescue. I'm part of the cat program Three Little Kitties Saving Kitties which tries to save as many cats as possible in Houston, Texas which has a huge overpopulation fo cats and they euthanize far too many cats (and dogs) we want to change that.

    Yes, I agree about not being able to pull off red lipstick, but a hair accessory could be just the thing I need.

    Thank you, I need to make it a habit to put my makeup on everyday, I always feel better. I forwarded this to my 15 yr old is on the verge of dating; she just went to her first Prom and refused to let me do her makeup, but she let her friends mom do it.

Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year wh Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year where we'll start spending more time outside enjoying the weather, grilling and the longer days of light and so much more. ☀️⛱ SponsoredI may have gotten a head start as we went camping for the first time this year and this really reminded me of how I love to sit outside and enjoy a good campfire or one in our firepit in our backyard and enjoying the quiet of the evening and stars twinkling in the night sky. 🌠⭐It also brings up memories of good food, grilled food my favourite kind with all those fun and delicious marinades, rubs and sauces to dress up and enhance the flavour of your food.

Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and just got back. We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC. Swipe to see our 📷  more beautiful nature photos to come soon. 🌿🌼#camping #PNW #nature #naturephotography #pnwwonderland #pnwlife #forest #greatoutdoors #campfire #Chilliwack  #chilliwackbc  #FraserValley
