Beauty Tips: Date Night Dos and Don'tsThink that extra spritz of perfume is a good idea? You might want to read these expert beauty tips before answering that question |
If you've spent any significant amount of time in the dating world, i.e. if you weren't swept up out of high school by the quarterback of the football team or didn't marry your chem lab partner, you're well aware that dating is like sparring on a battlefield (thank you Pat Benatar).
Each and every slip up gets tallied and counted against you at the end of each date night. The good news is though, that while you might lose some points and battles, when you win, you win big. You might walk away with a whirlwind romance, a hot steamy night or even a love that lasts a lifetime. So the bottom line is, you can't reap rewards without taking a risk.

But when we say take a "risk" when it comes to dating, we don't mean with your beauty. Not to sound like your mother, but the best beauty tips and advice we can give you for a big date is to be and look like yourself. You want to enhance your natural beauty attributes, not change them or mask them with gobs of makeup and hairspray. With that said, there are a certain number of date night dos and don'ts to follow when it's time to get ready for and during a date.
Dating after all is about first impressions. Yes, they have to like your personality, but in order to do so they can't be distracted by an Oompa Loompa orange tan or a too strong fragrance. When things are just getting started, you have to be careful about the beauty products and looks you experiment with. Here to share some date night beauty tips are Janice MacLeod and Marni Kamins, authors of "The Dating Repair Kit" and "The Breakup Repair Kit." They share their dos and don'ts for dating, which will hopefully help you find the new love of your life, who eventually won't care if you have lipstick on your teeth or greasy roots.

Wonderful! Men love makeup, but you want to highlight your own natural beauty, not the products you are wearing.

I totally agree about the mascara! Get one that isn't clumpy. There are plenty at drugstore prices (L'Oreal Voluminous, Prestige My Biggest Lashes) that won't clump, and will look fabulous.
