What would you wear? How would you do your makeup and hair?? The date is dinner and then a dessert place after.
Re: First Date.
There is no need for makeup and hair do to break your fast in Ramzan.
Pakistani folks will not like to have dates for dinner. They like biryani , Qorma etc , they like to break their fast with a date which is Sunnat a Rasool(SAW).
Re: First Date.
i'd say keep it simple and natural, you want to be comfortable during your dinner instead of thinking "is my hair ok ? do i have lipstick on my teeth ?..."especially if you're getting in a serious relationship with him, you don't need to impress him with clothes or make up, as long as you're being yourself, that's the only way he'll get to know you better.
on our first date i think i was wearing one of those Zara coton tuniques with jeans as it was really hot that day, i think i didn't realise it was a date then lol, and i didn't use to wear make up at that time, or maybe just eyeliner. if we'd do it again, i guess i would keep it comfy and accessorize with some bold earings, and makeup wise, just eyeliner and berry lips because that's how he likes me the most ;)
Re: First Date.
i forgot the hair, well it is summer so i'd probably do a high messy bun, i think side braids are cute too, what's your hair like ? (straight or wavy, curly ?)
Re: First Date.
Thanks cinnamon :)
My hair is wavy and long. I think side braids would make me look a bit childish no? I like the idea of a high bun but i dont know if i could pull it off. I would love to do it though! i think they look so chic.
I usually blow dry my hair - cheryl cole style.
I wear makeup for uni etc so I already wear some everyday, im just not sure what look to go for! soo confussseddd.
Re: First Date.
yeah i see what you mean about the childish looking braid, it's better to do it when you know how to do it too make it look elegant so go with what you're used to doing, you'll feel more comfortable.
now i don't know about your features and what you like but here's a suggestion : try to have a fresh look, it's summer so i wouldn't go for heavy eye make up like a smokey eye, i'd just use a light gold with some liner, coral/peach blush because i think it compliments desi skin tones the most, and colored lips but not dragqueenish shades like in your face-red or purple lol, i prefer berry shades

Re: First Date.
well...you want to be comfortable so keep it simple yet fun
keep your makeup the way you usually wear it but maybe add a cute top to a nice pair of jeans and shoes.
Re: First Date.
Simple and comfortable.
My 1st date with my now fiance was in November...and we were meeting up at alocal sushi place. I wore jeans and a nice sweater, black high heel boots. Hair was blow dryed/straighted and left open (which is what I do usually anyway). Make-up was kept light....neutral colors.
Clothes:
Dress appropriately for the restaurant (ie. casual Italian, Mexian, or Sushi versus a upscale steakhouse). Make sure you comfortable in the clothing. No matter how good a girl looks....guys can tell when she's not comfortable in the clothes/shoes she's wearing. Make sure the shoes are comfortable.
Make-up:
Keep colors neutral. The guys I know dislike seeing girls in "weird" colors or in make-up that's overdone. Save the blue/green/yellow etc. eye shadows for another time. My 1st few dates, I always keep colors in the light gold/brown/tan etc. family. Go easy on the blush/contouring.....just last night we were out with one of my fiance's friends....he had a date last weekend and he told us about how even though she was a pretty girl, the amount of blush she piled up on her cheeks was awful! You want the make-up to make you look presentable....but you still want him to see YOUR beauty.
Hair:
Do what you normally do. If you usually keep it down, straightened....then go with that. If you usually put it up...then go with that. Again....if you do a "new" style that you're not 100% comfortable with....it will show during the date.
Re: First Date.
its more about the attitude than your clothes ;)
Re: First Date.
b normal .. no need to b decked up ..
Re: First Date.
Re: First Date.
You have get into the whole mood of the night. Start with a nice shower, make sure your well groomed i.e all waxed and tweezed and buffed. Moisturize all over, no dry skin please. If you feel good , you look good. Spay your fav perfume all over !!
Now for clothes : def not overtly sexy !!!! so no skin show !! Sleeves need to be right at the elbow or below, NO cleavage and no mini skirts, your dress should be long enough to cover you appropriately when you sit !!
Make up : No disco diva eye-shadows !! Best to have a light eye shadow and a hint of nude glitter on your eyes cheeks , you know just to give you that glow, pink lips and the right blush on !! Red nails are always safe !!
Best advice. Keep it simple , casual but chic. Zara does some wonderful clothes, you could wear a wonderful blouse with chunky accessories teamed with skinny pants or jeans with medium length heels. Think romantic and try to wear light flowy tops or dresses like they have at Massimio Dutti.
Hair is best if blow dried and left loose or just held together with one or two pins !!
You should just a polished version of yourself. Not a copied version of some one else.
If I have a big night , I set my whole room up, its clean, the lighting is perfect, my dress make up and shoes are all laid out. My fav perfume on the potpourri. I enjoy the process of dressing up. This way , no matter how the night turns out to be, I am in a good mood no matter what.
Re: First Date.
Awww thanks guys :) ...and mirch?
I love all these posts they have been so helpful and given me lots of ideas! keeep them coming and i loved reading about peoples own experiences too!!
pyal i adore your post sounds really girly like mee! x
Re: First Date.
payal sharma! Thanks for your post and it's so true....I also get ready like that for a special night out...
I agree inspiron, Zara has some gorgeous colours right now, teals, greens, and purples. A nice blouse or chiffon top, some straight legged pants or skinny jeans and a classy pair of heels. Keep a cardi in case it gets cool. Team it up with some bold earrings or a suave statement bangle or ring. Simple graceful make up, some light foundation, simple top eyeliner and mascara, a bit of bronzer and pinky/rasperry lips. Go easy on the blush and stay away from strong colours on the eyes, just accentuate your natural beauty..a light spray of perfume, a classy handbag and your good to go!
Re: First Date.
p.s NO to glitter, fake hair, fake nails and fake contact lenses....
you can do subtle fake lashes though! They look super hot!
Re: First Date.
aww PK thanks :)
Yeah i dont wear any fake things so i wont be doing any of things!
Will try and check out zara this week!
Re: First Date.
^ This!
The best advice ever concerning what to wear/getting ready for a big day :k:.
Re: First Date.
Be natural, i think he'll be more focused on your attitude than your outlook.
I first met my now fiancee in a meeting, i was wearing formal office wear, no make up, hair tightly pony tailed, dull plain cloths, wasn't looking half as good as i actually am :D he liked my way of talking :)
