1. Your Face
Wherever you go, whenever you go, your face is the first and foremost thing that anybody notices and appreciates. For all we know, you lather up in gold all you want and anybody still wouldn’t give you any heads. It’s the face that talks and you need to note this point in the back of your mind.
● Eyebrow
Starting from the eyebrows, make them sharp or bushy but shape them. Even for boys who pay eyebrows no mind; shaping your eyebrows will give your face an instant lifted and sharpened look. Search for ‘brow shaping near me’ or take power into your own hands, but do not forget your eyebrows.
● Facial Hair
Facial hair needs to be tended, whether you are a male or female. As a male, your mustache and beard make up 50% part of your face and hence is very important to be taken care of. Know your face and understand what mustache and beard shape best suits and compliments you before giving them a cut. Also, keep in mind the event or occasion; try to go shorter if it’s a formal event.
● Skin Pampering And Hydration
It’s important for your face to look healthy and hydrated before the important day. Thus, we suggest booking an appointment for a rejuvenating facial, at a nearby parlor/cosmetic skin center before the event. You can also try home remedies and a face pack to return your face to that natural glory. Also, do not skip the water and avoid eating junk, in case of breakouts and pimples.
● Makeup
Makeup is the last step to reach that ultimate level of perfection you have envisioned since day ‘One’ of preparation. Makeup depends on the occasion, go for a simple natural look, for a day or evening get-together or meeting. And if it’s a wedding or some kind of fancy event, you can go for full glam and attract with that beauty and elegance of yours.
2. The Hair
Talking about hair is a no-brainer; you need to follow the basic steps of washing them first and then comes the main part, styling them. Styling your hair to perfection is not everybody’s cup of tea, especially not with the length girls have. Boys can simply style them and set them with hairspray and gel. For girls, it can get a little difficult and you can trust a hair stylist to style them the way you want.
3. The Clothes
You very well know about clothing, and, we do not need to remind you to get them ready at least a week early in case of alterations or minor accidents. Selecting the right fit for the special function or party is no joke and you need to make up your mind about what you are expecting from your look beforehand. Get styling inspirations and explore stores and markets to wrap your mind around all the options and choose what best meets your insights.
4. The Footwear
Okay, your footwear is a real concern. They don’t only need to be pretty but also practical. Comfort, especially for your feet is a must and more so when you have to stay standing and moving the whole day/night. Remember to invest in a comfortable pair or you might not get up the other day.
5. Accessories
Accessories can instantly take your look from 0 to 10. But it takes proper considerations before choosing the right accessory. Choosing from a simple pendant to a heavy necklace or a brooch, select after your clothes are confirmed. Also, we highly suggest trying out the whole outfit with accessories and footwear, to make sure you get what was in your mind.
6. Oral Hygiene And Perfume
The last thing, body odor and oral hygiene will determine if you are worth approaching or not. So, invest in a good but not overpowering perfume and mouth spray and get ready for the long and tiring but a memorable event or party.
