Pink lips—cat eyeliner

He’s sure to swoon over you!

Nude eyes—mascara

If you have a brunch date, you need to steer clear of a jarring makeup look. This means no reds, no smokey eyes and no sparkle. Don’t be troubled because this totally means you can play with the nude makeup look. Try nudish brown eye shadow on your eyelids—the kinda colour that blends with your skin tone yet adds just a wee bit of hue to your eyes. But to make your eyes pop, go with mascara— get a volumnising, curling and lengthening one that will make your eyes stand out.

If you can’t imagine your first date without the magic of red lips—just go with it. You know it works for you and nothing else makes you feel as sexy as that.

Blue mascara—glossy lips

When it comes to eye makeup, mascaras are always the underrated heroes. And when it’s in a bright blue, their effect only becomes all the more impactful. So if you’re the experimental kinds who likes to give ballsy makeup a shot, colour your lashes in bright blue but balance out the look with nude glossy lips. We’re saying it—there’s no way he’s going home without asking you for a second date.

Power brows—nude lips

Yes, we’re still suffering from power brow obsession. So give this look a shot on your first date. Create thick brows using an eyebrow pencil but because you’re going all out with the eyebrows, keep the lips nude—preferably a brown shade that doesn’t look overtly jarring because while you do want to look your pretty self on your first date, you also want to make sure you don’t cake your face up with excessive makeup.

Dark eyes—peachy lips

Yes, you’re itching to use that brand new eye shadow palette for your first date look but the trick here is to then balance out the look. Go all out with the eyes—use your kohl, use your liner and use your dark eyeshadow. But stop right there—keep the face bare and the lips a peachy pink that will look subtle yet classy.
