So you received an invitation for a fancy party or for a date with someone you have liked for a long time. Maybe you are going to a prom or other important school ball. First you are excited about it and can’t wait for the day to come. But as the event is coming closer you suddenly become scared. You can’t imagine yourself there, your closet seems to be empty, and you have no idea what to wear and what to do with your hair. You pray that somehow you won’t have to go there or the event is going to be cancelled. First of all it is wishful thinking, the day will probably come and you will probably have to go there. Of course you can always come up with a good excuse but what for? You shouldn’t avoid it but do everything to prepare for it. After all, you are meant to have fun! Here are some tips to help you arrange everything so when the day comes you are really looking forward to having a wonderful evening.
Call for backup, ask your friends to help you. You might thing that only teenagers call their girlfriends to consult them about every single detail. Even if you are a grown up woman you will always feel better with someone giving you advice and support with suggestions. Your friends can not only choose the best outfit and help you with your hair and makeup, but they will also make you feel more relaxed if you all meet at your place and have some nice time.
First you have to decide what to wear. See what options you have in your closet, ask your friends to bring some of their clothes for you to try. Of course everything depends on the occasion but basically you have to feel comfortable and beautiful in your creation. Check your favorite fashion magazines, get some inspiration from there. Try as many combinations as you need, listen to all your friends’ comments and suggestions. Focus on the outfits that really make you feel good, if you choose something that is not in your style you might spoil your evening.
Now you should think about your hair. You probably know that, but it is not good to make any sudden change like going from blond to black or from long to short hair before a big night out. You can never be sure about the final effect so it is best to keep your usual color and length, just style it in a nice way. Think of what you would like to try, go through some hairstyle magazines to get some tips on how to pin it and ask your friends to help you with it.
It is time for makeup. You can also count on friends and couture fashion magazines here. You don’t have to be a stylist to choose the colors and intensity that will fit you best. Don’t exaggerate with the amount of foundation and eye shadows. You aren’t supposed to look like a clown but simply underline your beauty. Of course you can try new things and make it an evening makeup but if you are not sure about something remember that generally less is more.
So you are finally prepared or at least you have everything prepared and know exactly how you will look. If you are by yourself that night, try to contact your friends just before you leave. Talk to them via webcam and show them the final effect, they will suggest any details that could be still checked and reassure you that you look great. Well, one last look in the mirror, a big smile and you are ready to go!
