The Ultimate First Date Makeup: Everything You Need to Know

Is the future love of your life / father of your unborn children busy planning the first date of your dreams tonight, horse-drawn carriage and all? No? Oh well. Even if your date tonight is just a pity date to the neighborhood watering hole, you'll still want to look your best. But looking your best for a first date is all about balance. You do not want the guy knowing you were primping for hours, sending about 100 selfies it your best friends for second opinions on your makeup, hair and outfit. But you also do not want to look like you did not try at all. With the help of a beauty guru Elyse Reneau, we've found the perfect middle ground. Hurry up, Mr. Right * is on his way! (* Mr. Right, also known as Mr. Right Now, depending on the guy)

Step 1: Eyes (for the sultry eye contact)
Use an eye shadow primer on your eyelids. This way, you'll know your makeup will last as long as the date does - and maybe longer. Apply a shimmery gold or bronze eye shadow up to the top of the creases, and then dust That same color along the bottom lash line. For a bit of definition, use and blending eye shadow brush and apply a brown shadow just a bit darker than the first one into the crease of the eyelid, blending very well. Use black gel eyeliner and an angled brush is tightline your top and bottom lash line, and finish it off with a waterproof black lengthening mascara on both the top and bottom lashes. And do not forget to fill in the brows for a full, glamorous look.

Waterproof Mascara
Step 2: Face (for that perfect healthy glow)
Apply a light-coverage foundation with a sponge and conceal where needed. Use and sculpting powder or bronzer that contour the shadows of your face and follow up with a highlighter to give yourself That dreamy, subtle glow.

Step 3: Cheeks (so you at least look like you're blushing)
Use a blush brush to sweep a peachy shade of blush across the apples of your cheeks, blending up to the cheekbone slightly toward the ears. Product Pick: Lancôme Blush Subtil in Blushing Tresor
Step 4: Lips (so they're kissable!)
Apply a peach lip liner that outline the shape of the lips, then fill them in using the liner. This will help the ensure the color stays on all throughout dinner and drinks (should you stick around That long). Top it off with a matching lightweight peach lipstick and a touch of nude gloss in the center of your pout.
