STYLIN’ TIPS
LADIES STYLIN’ TIPS
Do remember less is more in every respect on a date, be it bronzer, aftershave or jewelry.
- Less is more, you want to look alluring, not downright cheap.
– Wear discreet jewelry, not masses of gold — he won’t understand the fashion irony of the St. Tropez chic look.
– Looking too trendy is a bad idea. Your best friend might be jealous of your outfit, but your date may find it plain scary.
– If in doubt, think Meg Ryan rather than Madonna — a mysterious feminine look is a definite winner with most men.
– Never be tempted to use hairspray: It looks naff, smells horrid and your date will get an unpleasant surprise if they touch your helmet hair.
BEAUTY AND GROOMING TIPS
“A smile is the best weapon you have in your arsenal”
- Use a good oil-free moisturizer.
– If you need a lip-wax or bleach, do it at least three days before, so there is no redness.
– Shape and groom brows really precisely.
– Keep your base and concealer to a bare minimum. Men are suspicious of visible mask-like product on the skin. Bring shine remover tissues to keep a fresh matte look all night.
– Avoid blood-red or hot-pink lipstick. Wear a colour no more than two shades darker than your own lips. Apply a shimmery gloss to keep lips looking moist.
– Use a neutral eye-shadow, not brights that will pull the focus away from your features.
GENTS STYLIN’ TIPS
Do remember less is more in every respect on a date, be it bronzer, aftershave or jewelry.
- Only wear sandals if you have good feet — yellow toe-nails are not sexy.
- Don’t show off your tattoos, play it safe and save them for a showing on a later date.
- Never try to impress your date with inside fashion knowledge if you don’t know what you are talking about. Chances are she will know more than you and will see through your act.
- Give your date a compliment on what she’s wearing. Even if you dislike her outfit, find one thing to focus on and be complimentary.
BEAUTY AND GROOMING TIPS
“A smile is the best weapon you have in your arsenal”
- A facial a few days before would be great.
- Nails clean and clipped.
- A fresh haircut. Neck and sideburns well trimmed.
- Teeth — brush, floss, and gargle. Kissable is the point.
- Eye drops, if needed. Alert and fresh is alluring.
- Shave before you go out. Note: Only extremely handsome, well-chiselled, young men look good with stubble.
