Do you like parties, but you don't really know how to dress up? What if you're shy and just want to make a good first impression? Don't worry – this article will tell you everything you need to know about dressing up and the general rules for preparing for a party. Just take a look at Step 1 below to get started.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Choosing an Outfit and Accessories
Step 1. Think about the time and location of the party
As all women know, choosing the right outfit for a party is an important task. The first thing you need to consider is the time and location of the party, this will affect everything – from your clothes and your shoes to your jewelry and makeup!
- If the party is during the day, at a bowling alley or the park, you'll probably need something comfortable and cool, like jeans and a t-shirt.
- If the party is at night, at a fancy restaurant or club, you may need to dress up a bit and wear something like a cute dress, suit or a skirt and top combo.
Step 2. Consider your own style
When you attend a cool party, you want to stand out – but in a good way.
- So if you want to be unique, you have to come up with a cool alternative with the norm that fits your personality but still fits the theme of the party.
- For example, if you are not the type of woman who usually wears high heels, but you still want to look stunning, you can try wearing a pair of shoes with diamond embellishments!
Step 3. Think about your budget
Can you afford to buy new clothes or do you need to wear what's in your closet?
If it's the latter, consider combining the clothes you already have into something new and out of the ordinary, try to layer a few tops on top of another, clash different patterns or combine awesome materials – like a biker jacket that looks great. in black with a beautiful silk dress
Step 4. Choose your jewelry
When it comes to jewelry, decide whether you want it to be understated and classic, or bold and over the top.
- For an elegant evening party, things like earrings with soft diamonds (or crystals) and pearl necklaces are perfect.
- For an evening party, you can use bits of dark material, a mix of thick gold and silver chains, or large hoop or candlestick earrings.
Step 5. Match or clash your shoes and wallet
Traditionally, women matched their shoes and bags, but this is no longer used – nowadays, everything fits!
- You can choose a color for your outfit (it doesn't have to be your primary color) and match your shoes and purse, or you can go with a darker color.
- For example, if you're wearing a simple black dress, something like gold shoes and a neon orange bag can work.
Step 6. Do something unique
Once you have your shoes, bags and jewelry ready, the other accessories you choose to wear is something of a personal preference.
Consider wearing a boho headband, embellishing your hair with fresh flowers, wearing anklets or ribbons for the top of the sleeves, tying a thick belt or wearing a funky fedora – it's all up to you
Method 2 of 3: Playing with Hair and Makeup
Step 1. Style your own hair
Your hair may be the next important thing besides your clothes. Whatever style you choose, make sure your hair has been washed, so it will be easier to style and smell nice and clean.
- Make sure everything is simple. If you want to make things easy, try straightening your hair with a flat iron for a simple, smooth look, or try curling it with a curling wand for dazzling loose waves or pretty tight curls.
-
Try an updo. If you want an updo, consider a classic French braid, an elegant sock bun or a pretty updo braid.
- Experiment with braiding If braiding suits you better, try French braids, fishtail braids or braided headbands.
Step 2. See an expert hairdresser
If you have the money, you might consider going to a hair salon and having them blow dry, curl or style your hair.
- You can also try a new color or an interesting haircut, like side bangs, pixie cut or bob!
- However, if it's a birthday party then you have to be careful – you don't want to overwhelm the birthday lady with your new look!
Step 3. Plan your make up
Make up is the next thing you have to think about – it's amazing the different types of party looks you can create! Again, you have to think about the time and location of the party.
Daytime and outdoor parties will require a less flashy appearance, elegant daytime parties can be very attractive and elegant, while fun, frenzied evening parties can be crazy and colorful
Step 4. Create the perfect base
The first thing you should think about is your base.
- Make sure your skin is clean and well hydrated, then apply a few ingredients to give it the perfect base.
- Use concealer to cover any blemishes, then apply a foundation that matches your natural skin tone.
Step 5. Add color
Choose your eyeshadow, blush and lipstick colors that match the type of party.
- Toned down the color, the nude color is perfect for daytime, while the slightly dark eye color and red lips are perfect for a dazzling afternoon look.
- Everything fits in the night! Try bright pink or dark purple lips, neon eyeshadow and shimmery mascara.
Step 6. Focus on the eyes
Two problematic makeup tasks for women are applying eyeliner and mascara.
- Check out this tutorial on how to do the perfect winged eyeliner and this tutorial on the correct way to apply mascara. If you're feeling really bold, you can wear false eyelashes too!
- Also don't forget to brush your eyebrows and use a little pencil – it can sharpen your look!
Method 3 of 3: Keep Yourself Clean
Step 1. Take care of your skin
Exfoliate your skin in the shower with a loofah or exfoliating glove.
- This will remove dead skin and leave your body feeling soft and smooth.
- Once you're out of the shower, put on a scented moisturizing lotion that makes you feel and smell good – opt for a slightly shimmery lotion if you want to get into the party mood!
Step 2. Remove the necessary fine hairs
This is especially important if you are wearing a sleeveless skirt or top.
- You can shave with a razor and shaving cream (but be careful not to hurt yourself!), remove hair with a depilatory cream, or try waxing.
- It is recommended that you make an appointment at a professional waxing salon if you have not previously tried waxing at home.
Step 3. Smell good
Make sure you smell good during the party by dabbing on some antiperspirant deodorant and a little perfume.
Apply perfume to your pulse points – on the inside of your wrists, behind your ears, on the inside of your thighs and between your breasts – for lasting results
Step 4. Keep your teeth clean
Brush your teeth and wash your mouth with mouthwash to make your breath smell fresh.
- This will be the last thing you do before you leave – try not to snack before you go to a party!
- You should also consider putting some candy or gum in your purse, so you can freshen your breath when needed.
Tips
- When straightening or curling your hair, always use anti-burn spray BEFORE you start. These are sometimes included in the package, but you can buy them at places that sell straightening kits.
- Follow the trend as best you can, but have a classic style to go with it.
Warning
- Don't change your style, stay unique.
- Never wear anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
- It's the person inside of you who really matters!
- Be careful not to wear too much makeup, your face will distract all the attention. We want people to see you.
- Chewing gum to freshen breath is a myth, it actually causes the glands to overactive, so use breath fresheners. Besides, I think when people chew gum, they look like cows.
