I have a formal dance coming up and i have to look PERFECT. My best friend, and the most popular guy in school, is my date, and tons of girls are going to be angry with me and criticing me. So I want there to be absolutely nothing they can critique me about! I have the perfect dress and shoes and stuff all planned out, but what are some things I can prepare in the weeks before? Drinking water, eating healthy, working out...moisturizing...uh what else?
Oh and I heard that if you don't shave for 2 weeks before and then shave the day of you'll get a smoother shave..thoughts?
LM answered Tuesday November 13 2007, 6:43 pm: Waiting two weeks seems like a bit much, but yes it's true that if you don't shave as frequently your legs will be smoother afterwards, because they skin won't be as irritated. So maybe don't shave 4 or 5 days before. And use an exfoliating scrub before, too.
Drink water- but you should really be doing that all the time, not just before a dance. Same with moisturizing. It's good to get into a routine, espeicailly in winter. Do so twice a day, morning and night. Test out whatever makeup you're going to do a couple of days before- that way, if the eyeshadow you thought matched your dress perfectly actualy gives you a "dying pinkeye victim" look, you'll have time to change your colors/plans. Wear a good deoderant that smells good even after a couple hours.
And also, go to the dance and JUST HAVE FUN. Seriously, people are going to critique you if you're going with
a) the most popular guy in school
b) no one
c) group of friends
d) shy kid from algebra
e) your cute neighbor
You get the idea. If you don't let it be shown that they're bothering you they'll give up eventually. have a good time & everything'll be great.
Oh, and take pictures early on in the night, most people do anyways before they get to the dance. Your hair and makeup will literally be picture-perfect, since you just did it five minutes ago, know what I mean?
