Ok so you have done the hardest part, you have arranged your date. Now you have to create that all important first impression. This article goes into some simple things you should pay attention to so that you look good and your self-confidence is high going into the date itself.

We will start with hair. Hairstyle is such a specific thing depending on your facial type, coloring and hair type that it is definitely worth the time and investment in going to see a good stylist (yes, men as well). You can do some homework first though by checking out magazines to try and find pictures with people who look a bit like yourself. They will have been professionally styled to look their best in most cases so you can take some ideas from some of these styles that you like. Don't be embarrassed by taking in a picture of George Clooney and ask to look like that (unless you are a woman, and even then don't be embarrassed, a George Clooney do could be perfect for your skin tone and hair type.). Anyway not even Gorgeous George looks like he does in magazines in real life and your stylist will know this. The point is that if you find a hairstyle that you really like, do not let shyness deter you from getting it done. Just imagine how fantastic you will feel after wards in your new style.

Clothes. Ok so you are sporting your new do, now you need to find your perfect date outfit. The key hear is to find properly fitted clothes that you are comfortable wearing. It's no good getting yourself into a pair of skinny jeans if you are so mortified you can't even speak, even if the jeans actually look perfect. It is all about your confidence. Then look at color coordination. Get examples of the same garment while in the store and under a good light hold them up to your face and see which color works best with your skin tone and eyes. You will be easily able to tell this. Also a good sales person will be able to help so don't be afraid of asking for their advice. It is what they are there for!

Makeup. Makeup is tricky. You don't want to look like you have shoveled it on with a trowel, nor do you want to look pink cheeked, scrubbed and shiny. Makeup done perfectly will subtly hide things you want to hide and flaunt your assets, you just need to be careful that you don't do things the other way around. You would be surprised at how often this happens. The best way to get this done on the cheap is go to a department store, find someone who has roughly your coloring and most importantly has makeup you like. They will usually do your makeup for free, you just need to be firm and not buy the makeup they try to sell you after wards, unless you want it.

Physical fitness. As we have seen you can enlist stylists and hair dressers galore but the harsh reality is that if you want to improve your physical appearance you need to put in some miles. Join a gym and discus with a trainer what your goals are, weight loss, toning etc and they will put you on a program. This combined with the above will make you look fantastic. But more importantly it will make you feel fantastic, ready for your big date.
