- Keep it natural so that the natural glow is not lost. Work with that and also remember not to cake yourself too much. The foundation should be just right to give you an even and dewy fresh skin tone.
2. Dress up those eyes. As they say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and its important you let him sink into the depth of those eyes. So work subtle shadows but make the eyes bigger and more dramatic with kohl and layer up the mascara to give yourself the lovely doe-shaped eyes.
3. Pucker up those lips. If this is the feature you’re choosing to highlight you’re definitely in the right direction. Bold red, fuchsia pink, deep wine or something equally sizzling can works for an evening out. Remember to make sure your lipstick doesn’t leave its traces behind and also remember to carry lipstick in as you tend to eat it up and might need touch ups.
4. Men have a fetish for shiny, glossy hair and it is important you take the effort to get it styled for this occasion. Whether you choose to wear it silky straight or have soft curls, make sure your mane truly is your crowning glory.
5. Dab on a sensuous perfume and you’re good to go. Just make sure to work on a look which is you, be who you are and carry that reflection proudly.
