First dates are always a moment of excitement and mixed emotions at the same time. The pressure to look our best is higher than ever and only the thought that a beauty flaw might ruin our date is sometimes completely paralyzing. Find out what are the beauty flaws your date is most likely to notice and how to fix them.
As if a first date wouldn't be nerve wracking enough as it is,
the constant worries about the beauty flaws your date might notice
is a sure way to undermine your self-confidence and ruin your day.
While it's pretty safe to say that your date will most likely
notice less than half of the flaws you are obsessing about, certain
beauty flaws just can't go unnoticed.
When preparing for a date make sure that you address all the beauty
problems that might not make you feel as comfortable and as
confident you might normally be. If you are unsure about where to
start make sure that you take care of the following beauty problems
before going on a date:
Dark under-eye circles
The majority of people when asked what is the thing that they first
notice on a potential date will usually say that the eyes are in
most cases the element that attracts the most attention. Therefore
it's only natural to conclude that any imperfection around the eyes
area will be among the first ones to be noticed. Dark under eye circles are a
common problem that can have a wide variety of causes.
While identifying the cause should be the first step to solving the
problem if you are running out of time you will have no choice but
to treat the symptoms. A yellow based concealer is the smartest
choice for camouflaging bluish under eye circle circles. Because
these colors are complementary they will neutralize each other,
refreshing your look. Using a skin illuminating product will also
help you emphasize your eyes better and to perfect your makeup.
Acne
Another obvious romance killer, acne is one of those problems that
cannot be fixed in the last minute. However before a date it's time
to do some serious damage control if you want to make a favorable
first impression. Aside from the regular skin cleaning routine
designed to help you get a clearer skin on the long term, a series
of makeup tricks should be used to conceal acne signs.
A combination of concealer, foundation and finishing powder will
most likely do the trick and help you cover up signs. To avoid acne
breakouts make sure that you apply concealer using a disposable
facial sponge instead of using the applicator provided by the
manufacturer. On the same token, don't reuse the foundation sponge.
For a major acne problem try a full coverage green based concealer
that contains silica. Finally, apply a light layer of oil-free
powder for a matte finish.
Frizzy hair
While luscious curls are extremely romantic and are generally an
adorable hairstyle, those who all naturally curly always leave with
the fear that frizz will take over and ruin things for them. It's
extremely important to deal with this problem before the date as
your partner will definitely notice this aspect.
Good styling techniques will help you deal with this problem
effectively and carrying a pomade in your purse will likely help
you solve the hair problems that might emerge during the date. In
addition a wide tooth comb will help minimize tangles while
preventing unnecessary frizz.
Unkempt nails
The way a person's nails look is a strong indicator of how much
effort she puts into her appearance. Because all men are interested
in finding a woman that takes good care of herself, it's important
not to let this detail prevent him from having a favorable first
impression on you. If you've neglected this aspect so far, solve
the problem quickly by trimming your nails, applying a moisturizing
cream on the your hands and cuticles and applying a coat of
shimmery metallic nail polish that will hide chips.
