Valentine’s Day dates back to the 14th century. Although it’s now often over commercialized, it’s a time to showcase your love for your partner through romantic gestures. Although we can’t give you any advice on what to get that special someone, at All Dolled Up, serving Ocean Isle Beach, NC, and the nearby region, we can get you ready for your date night or dance with some tips as well as assistance with our in-studio and on-site beauty services.
Don’t Try a Risky Look
While it’s always fun to experiment with a new look, you don’t want to make a drastic change with a color palette you’ve never used or try a hairstyle that you’re unsure of. You could wait until the stylist is finished and be disappointed. Then, you might not have enough time to start fresh and find a new look. Instead, try a look with colors that you know work for you.
Consider Airbrush Makeup
You’ll have a smoother, more finished appearance when you opt for airbrush makeup. Plus, airbrush makeup tends to last longer than standard makeup. On average, once you get this makeup applied, it’ll last up to 12 hours.
Use Mascara Over False Lashes
False lashes can fall off while you’re on the dance floor or out and about in general if they’re not applied well. They also often look fake, even when done right. Therefore, you should opt for waterproof mascara that’ll have more of a natural look and will hold up while you’re out.
Give Yourself a Facial the Day Before
So your skin looks naturally radiant, give yourself a facial the day before Valentine’s Day. Apply a moisturizer so your skin looks fuller and won’t feel as dry.
Exfoliate Your Lips
If you want your lips to be kissable soft for this special occasion, exfoliate your lips. By doing so, you’ll remove any dry and dead cells from your lips. That special someone won’t feel like they’re kissing an alligator when you exfoliate your lips.
Moisturize Your Skin
While we’re fortunate in North Carolina that the temperatures don’t dip extensively low like in some places in the US, we’re still running the heat at times over the winter. As a result, your skin may become dry. Before you go on that big date, make sure you moisturize your skin from head to toe. Focus on your feet since they’re often prone to drying out.
Apply Perfume Before That Big Date
Stimulate all your date’s senses. That means applying perfume so you entice their sense of smell. If you don’t have a favorite scent, consider vanilla or lavender, which are fragrances liked by most individuals.
As you’re applying a perfume or body spray, make sure you spritz your neck and cleavage, hair, thighs, wrists, and belly. Your body emits heat from each one of these locations, making them ideal areas to spray a scent.
Wear What Makes You Feel Sexy or Beautiful
Red, pink, and purple might be the colors that are most synonymous with the occasion, these don’t need to be the only colors you choose from. If you have a black dress that makes you feel like a million bucks, wear it. You want to feel confident in whatever it is you choose to wear.
Hire a Hair and Makeup Artist
Whether you choose an in-studio or on-site beauty appointment, hire a professional to do your makeup. You’ll surprise that special someone with a flawless look. You’ll feel better getting your makeup done by a professional. And as a result, you’ll feel more confident.
At All Dolled Up, we can provide you with a professional makeup artist who’ll make you feel and look spectacular before your big date or school dance. If you’re unsure of the look you desire, a stylist from our studio can help you select the ideal look for you.
