Do you love parties but don't know how to show off an appropriate look? Are you shy and would like to impress others? Don't worry, this article will explain everything you need to do to be elegant and well dressed at a party. Start reading from Step 1.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Choose the Dress and Accessories

Step 1. Think about the time and location of the party

All girls know how important it is to choose the right dress for an occasion. The first thing to do is to consider the time and place where the party will take place; this information will influence a little bit everything, from clothes to shoes, to jewelry, to make-up!

If the party is taking place during the day, at a bowling alley or in a theme park, comfortable clothing such as jeans and a t-shirt will be indicated.
If the party takes place in the evening, in a restaurant or in a club, it will be appropriate to be more elegant and wear, for example, a dress with skirt or shorts, or a well-matched skirt and top.

Step 2. Consider your personal style

Going to a party will want to get noticed, but in a positive way.

If you want to appear unique you should find a good compromise between your personal style and the most appropriate clothing for the occasion.
For example, if you're not usually used to wearing heels but would like to look stylish, you can try wearing a pair of jewel-embellished sneakers.

Step 3. Evaluate your budget

Can you afford to buy new clothes or do you have to be able to match the ones you already own?

If you can't buy new clothes, you just have to reinterpret the clothes that are already in your wardrobe. Look for new combinations and try to combine different patterns and fabrics as well. For example, a black leather jacket with a silk dress

Step 4. Choose your jewelry

When it comes to accessories and jewelry you have to decide if you want to be minimalist and classic or if you prefer to wear something flashy and out of the ordinary.

For an elegant party in the evening, wear sparkly or crystal earrings and a pearl necklace. They are a perfect match.
For a night party you can look for more eccentric accessories, for example mix gold and silver necklaces, wear a pair of large hoop or chandelier earrings.

Step 5. Match, or contrast, your bag with shoes

Usually women try to match the bag with shoes, but now everything is allowed, you can experiment!

You can decide to emphasize a color of your dress (even if it is not the main color) by choosing the shoes of the same color, or the bag. If you want, try a contrast of colors.
For example, if you wear a black dress you can successfully match it with a pair of gold shoes and a bright orange bag.

Step 6. Wear a unique detail

After thinking about the shoes, handbag and jewelry, it's up to you to choose a personal accessory.

You can think of a bohemian headband, a fresh flower in your hair, an anklet or a bracelet to wear on the forearm, a leather belt or a funky or tribal headdress. The choice is yours

Method 2 of 3: Try New Hairstyles and Different Ways to Do Your Makeup

Step 1. Comb your hair

After choosing the dress, the next step is to find the right hairstyle. Make sure your hair is clean and smells nice. If the hair is not greasy it will be easier to do the hairstyle.

Prefer simplicity. If you don't want to try more elaborate hairstyles, straighten your hair with a straightener, create a disheveled look or some pretty curls with the iron, or alternatively try a wavy effect, or curls.
Try to collect your hair. For a different look, try a bun, a banana tuft, or a braided tuft.
Experiment with braids. If you like the braid, try the side braid, herringbone or headband.

Step 2. Seek the opinion of an image consultant

If you have enough money at your disposal, you can seek the opinion of an image expert and get advice on a hairstyle and cut suitable for you.

Try a new hair color, or a new cut, side bangs, short cut or bob.
If you go to a birthday party try not to overdo your look, you will not want to overshadow the birthday girl!

Step 3. Decide how to wear makeup

Make-up is the next step to take, you will be surprised to find out how many different styles can be created for a special occasion. Before deciding on your makeup, think about the location and the time of the party.

For a party during the day, and outdoors, an inconspicuous look is preferable; for the evening you can create an elegant make-up, for an evening in a club, or for a night party, try a more extravagant and colorful make-up instead

Step 4. Lay out a perfect base

Before applying the colors, prepare a make-up base.

Make sure your skin is free of impurities and well hydrated, then apply a primer to create a flawless base.
Use the concealer to cover up small blemishes, then apply a veil of foundation that matches your skin tone.

Step 5. Add the colors

Choose the tone of the eyeshadow, blush and lipstick based on the occasion you are attending.

Go for light colors, or natural shades, for an event that takes place during the day, while a smokey effect for the eyes and a red lipstick will be splendid for an evening make-up.
For the evening you can choose almost anything! Try bright pink or plum lipstick, glitter eyeshadows, and shimmery mascara.

Step 6. Emphasize your gaze

All girls would like to learn how to apply mascara well and use eyeliner without inaccuracies.

Watch video tutorials to learn how to draw perfect lines with eyeliner and use mascara without fear. If you feel like experimenting, go ahead and try false lashes!
Don't forget to also take care of the shape of your eyebrows and, if you want, underline them with a touch of a pencil. You will give an extra accent to your look.

Method 3 of 3: Maintain your Personal Hygiene

Step 1. Take care of your skin

Eliminate dead skin cells with an exfoliating glove or a loofah sponge.

This will remove them thoroughly and your skin will be softer and smoother.
After taking a shower, use a skin moisturizer that also smells good. If you are preparing for a special party, choose a slightly bright one.

Step 2. Remove unwanted hair

This is very important, especially if you are going to wear a sleeveless skirt or top.

Shave with cream and razor (but be careful not to cut yourself), better if you choose to shave with depilatory cream or wax.
Make an appointment with the beautician for a professional wax (if this is the first time you have it, do not try it alone).

Step 3. Wear a nice scent

Make sure to keep a pleasant smell for the duration of the party, apply a layer of deodorant, or deodorant, to your armpits, and then spray some perfume.

Put some perfume inside the wrists, behind the ears, between the legs and on the neckline, for a lasting result

Step 4. Take care of your smile

Floss, brush your teeth and rinse your mouth thoroughly with mouthwash for fresh, pleasant breath.

Before you go out, brush your teeth well and try not to nibble while you wait to go to the party!
Carry some peppermint candies, or gum, in your purse. You can freshen your breath if necessary.

Advice
