Hey gorgeous mamas! We know that date night can be intimidating, but it’s really just about having a good time, letting loose, and meeting new people.
So why put pressure on yourself? We have some advice… DON’T! Whether you’re enjoying a meal or a movie, the key is to relax and be yourself. It doesn’t matter if this is a date with someone new or your spouse of twenty years! Here are some simple yet effective date night beauty tips to help you feel fresh, fabulous, and worth it.
Tip One: Exfoliate!
First thing is first! Make sure you have plenty of time so you’re not in a rush, mama. There’s nothing like the pressure of running late and not having time to pamper yourself properly!
Start with a long, hot shower. Shave if you’d like, or don’t—it’s entirely up to you. Use your favorite exfoliant and body shower oil to scrub those pores and get rid of flaky skin. Deep breathe in that hot steam. This first step will leave your skin feeling smooth and rejuvenated, setting the perfect foundation for the rest of your beauty routine.
Tip Two: Dress to Impress… Yourself!
That’s right! Select an outfit YOU love. The key is to be yourself and wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable.
Whether you prefer a daring look or something more conservative, pick an outfit that flatters your body and reflects your individual style. Personally, I love to rock a strapless short black dress—it makes me feel my best. Remember, the goal is to impress yourself first and foremost! Beauty is confidence and when you feel good you look amazing.
PRO TIP: If you are like me and want to rock a dress or skirt and you own a proper pair of thunder thighs, avoid that nasty raw rash by applying bar deodorant to the inside of both of your thighs where they tend to rub together. Hours of dancing and no more painful rash! You’re welcome!
Tip Three: Hair Care!
Take your time to dry and style your hair the way you like it.
Here’s a PRO TIP that might surprise you: If you have the funds, consider visiting your neighborhood salon for a quick hairstyle.
As a mother of two, I used to think the salon was only for haircuts and coloring. But did you know you can go just for a blowout or styling session? It can be quite affordable depending on the style and the salon. So my pro tip is to treat yourself to a salon visit for a blowout and styling—it’s a fun way to get in the mood for your date night.
Tip Four: Makeup Magic
Get out your makeup kit dust it off and apply your favorite look.
Here’s a Crucial Tip: Don’t try something new on date night! You can go for a daring look, but avoid experimenting with new techniques. Date night is NOT the night to be perfecting that upside-down winged eyeliner look. You don’t want to wind up in tears.
Stick to what you know and what makes you feel beautiful and add your favorite perfume or fragrance. Whether you prefer a no-makeup fresh-faced look or you want a lady of the night look and you’re skilled at applying false eyelashes and dark eyeshadow, do what makes you feel like a queen!
Tip Five: Footwear Finesse
Ladies, this one hurts me to say it, but ditch the 5-inch high heels. Opt for stylish yet comfortable shoes.
Maybe choose a modest heel in an electric color or even wear your favorite sneakers or flip-flops. You don’t want your date night to turn into a date disaster with a broken ankle thanks to sky-high heels. Comfort is key, and you can still look chic without sacrificing your feet.
Tip Six: Pre-Date Relaxation
This tip is completely optional, but if you enjoy a drink, consider having one or two before heading out.
If you don’t drink alcohol, a warm tea or any beverage that helps you relax works as well.
Just make sure not to overdo it on the shots—you don’t want to go out feeling like a slob kabob. A single martini or your favorite non-alcoholic drink can be a great way to ease into your date night mood.
Ladies, I hope these date night beauty tips and date night ideas will help you to relax and think about yourself for a change.
But did I mention you really do not require a date at all for date night? Take a girlfriend or a solo dinner or movie might be just what you need and these same rules apply!
Remember, you don’t need a date to enjoy date night! Taking yourself out for a solo dinner or a movie can be just as fulfilling. Invite a girlfriend or enjoy some quality time with yourself. The same beauty tips apply, and it’s a fantastic way to relax and focus on self-care. So go ahead, pamper yourself, and make the most of your night out. You deserve it, mama! 💖
