Effortless Foundation Makeup Hints

For maximum great looks your preparations for a first date should begin long before the day itself. No matter how keen you are, try to ensure that you have at least a few days’ notice of a first date and that you have enough time on the day itself to get ready. If you can achieve these things you are already well on the way to feeling relaxed and looking great on your first date.
Beauty, they say, is not skin deep. This can mean lots of deep philosophical things but for our purposes it means that if we want to look great for our first date then we need to look after ourselves. So, avoid alcohol and have an early night the night before. You and your skin will feel and look so much fresher for the date ahead.
If possible, spend some time relaxing and going through your normal beauty routine; relaxing in a nice hot bath, waxing and cleansing. This will help you feel confident in yourself.
When it comes to make-up it really depends on the sort of first date you are going on, but let’s assume it’s a fairly low-key getting-to-know-you first date, in which case less is more. And that the natural look is the one to go for. After all, your date doesn’t want a cover up – they want to see the real you.

Eyes:

Eyes are the windows to the soul. Show them off at their sparkling best but avoid harsh, metallic eyeshadow. If you are at home online dating Sheffield steel makeup may be just fine, but for a real life first date it’s best to tone it down. And steady on the mascara – it’s hard for your lashes to flutter if they are weighed down by big clumps of it.

Blusher:

When it comes to blusher, don’t be too cheeky. As a general rule blushing is for brides, and you don’t want to overdo the rosy cheeked milkmaid look, as this can easily tip into fairground caricature.

Lips:

Different people have different views about whether or not to kiss on a first date. You can check out what is being said on the eHarmony dating and relationship advice site. Whether you decide to kiss or not is up to you, but remember you still want your lips to look like as kissable as they can be!
