Everyone wants to look good and feel great at an event, especially if it's a party. Whatever event you go to, you will likely meet new people and see familiar faces that you want to impress. Looking great at a party will help you look great and give you the confidence you need to have a carefree time.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Planning for the Party
Step 1. Take care of your hands and feet
Nails play a very important role in a person's physical appearance. Before the party, be sure to clean them. Cut and remove the old nail polish.
- If you are going to wear open shoes, clean your toenails as well.
- If you are a girl, choose a nail polish that matches your outfit.
Step 2. Make an appointment at the hairdresser
If you haven't cut your hair in a while (at least six weeks), go to the hairdresser to get rid of split ends and freshen up the cut.
If you dye your hair, touch up the regrowth
Step 3. Decide how you will go to the party, this way you will avoid unnecessary stress while getting ready
If possible, try to share the car with a friend headed for the same event.
- Calculate the distance between your house and the party location to make sure you have enough time to get there on time.
- If you intend to do an elaborate hairstyle, try to drive to prevent it from ruining.
- Depending on the destination, you can decide whether to go there on foot, by bicycle, by public transport or by car.
Step 4. Mark the date of the party on the agenda
If you have other commitments that day, plan accordingly. You should also write the date to avoid forgetting it and accidentally make other appointments.
If necessary, call the babysitter in advance
Method 2 of 3: Prepare the Mise
Step 1. Find out about the required clothing
Don't wait until the night of the party to decide what to wear. It is useful to organize yourself a few days in advance to avoid stress and run at the last minute. If possible, ask the person who invited you to the party or a friend to find out what clothing is required to determine whether to dress formally or casually. Here are some items you will always be on the safe side with:
- If the party is casual, you can wear jeans and a shirt.
- If it's formal, choose a more sophisticated shirt or blouse, a suit or a men's suit with a tie.
- If it's hot and you're going to be outside, choose a cool, light fabric.
Step 2. Choose a classic look
If you have no idea what the dress code is because you don't know the party organizer or you don't want to ask the person you're going with, here are some timeless looks, suitable for any occasion, or almost:
- Girls always play it safe in a little black dress. Choose one with clean, knee-length lines. You can make it more elegant with a necklace and high heels, while with a pair of ballet flats it will be more casual.
- If you're a boy, you'll be on the safe side with a well-made shirt and pair of pants.
- Dress according to the season and temperatures.
Step 3. Agree with your friends or partner
If you go to the party with other people, you can decide to put it together to get an aesthetically cohesive result, but not so much that you risk looking dressed all the same.
For those who go there with their better half, the color of his tie can be matched to that of her dress
Step 4. Create the perfect outfit
Consider which styles and cuts of clothes flatter you. Every single person has a particular physique, so finding clothing that suits your body type helps to dramatically improve the look.
- Wear clothes of your size, not too tight, so you don't have to tidy them up all evening;
- Choose clothes that make you feel confident;
- Don't choose clothes that are stained or torn;
- Black flatters all body types, but don't be afraid to add a pop of color!
Step 5. Wear comfortable shoes
If you have a pair of shoes that you adore but that hurt your feet, leave them at home. Whether you choose heels, sneakers or ballet flats, make sure they are comfortable, especially if you plan on dancing. Remember that you will have to keep your shoes on for the whole evening, without them giving you any kind of problem.
Match the shoes to the rest of the outfit. If you dress elegantly, the shoes should be in line with the rest of the outfit
Method 3 of 3: Prepare for the Day of the Party
Step 1. Start preparing early
Carve out all the time you need (it will take you at least an hour, but that depends a lot on your speed). If you organize yourself, you can do whatever you want without rushing and without risking having problems with your hair, make-up or clothes. Start early to avoid stressing yourself out! Here are some preparations you can take care of in advance, without rushing at the last minute:
- Iron clothes;
- Choose the hairstyle;
- Prepare whatever you want to bring to the party.
Step 2. Take a shower
It is important to take care of your personal hygiene to look your best and feel good. Wash your face, body, teeth and hair. If necessary, shave or shave. You should do all this with a few hours in advance of the rest of the preparations, so that the hair can air dry.
- Apply the moisturizer on face and body so that the skin is beautiful and hydrated;
- Put on deodorant: you will probably sweat at least a little;
- If you wear perfume, don't overdo it. Make a couple of sprays in front of you and then enter the "cloud" of perfume, so that the body is gently pervaded by the fragrance.
Step 3. Style your hair
For some events it is necessary to do a more elaborate hairstyle, which requires the use of specific products and a little more time. Online you can find numerous tutorials that will explain how to create the desired effect.
- Girls: blow dry your hair and style it, curl, braid or do other hairstyles. If you have them beautiful on your own or you like them natural, do not intervene. You can use an accessory, such as a headband or a hair clip.
- Boys: comb and, if you want, apply some gel to fix them, the important thing is not to overdo it. You can also put on a hat if you like.
Step 4. Finally, put your makeup on
If you like, you can wear makeup to complete the look. The choice of products is up to you. If the party will be held during the day and outdoors, a light make-up is preferable.
- Use lip gloss and blush for a simple look;
- If the party is going to be in the evening, you can do a more impactful makeup with eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara.
Step 5. Mirror yourself before exiting
Make sure you have everything you need, such as wallet, keys and cell phone. In any case, remember to focus everything on minimalism. Overdoing it is always not recommended, whether it be with perfume, accessories or the objects you put in your bag.
- It is always good for a girl to take off an accessory before going out, in order to avoid excesses.
- If you wear lipstick, bring the tube to reapply as needed.
Step 6. Try to be open minded
Remember that a nice smile and a positive attitude will always help you look great at the parties. Leave all your worries and doubts at home, just try to have fun. Others like to surround themselves with smiling, cheerful people, so show off your best smile.
