How to Get Ready for a Big Event

Put on some music and make a tea.

Music will help keep you energized, and enjoy the process while getting ready. A hot cup of tea will help you relax and prevent anxiety.

Deep condition your hair.

Deep conditioning takes about 30 minutes. You simply put conditioner on your hair, put your hair up in a bun and wait. While you are waiting you can remove nail polish from your nails, pluck your eyebrows, wax your moustache, (if you have one,) and enjoy an episode of your favorite TV show.

Take a shower.

While in the shower, you can exfoliate and shave your body completely. This will keep your skin looking clean and fresh longer.

Moisturize your body.

Nobody wants dry ashy looking skin. The point of the moisturizing lotion is to prevent water loss, so you need to apply it shortly after washing the body.

Blow-dry your hair.

Use a good heat protectant. After you finish, put your hair up in a bun to keep it off of your face.

Go all out with a facial.

Wash your face with a good cleanser. Follow up with a good exfoliant. Use a face mask to clean deep and soften skin. There are cheap face masks at your local drugstore. After you finish with the mask, wash your face again and use cleansing milk and toner. Last but not least, moisturize and prime your face with a good moisturizer and primer. Keep in mind that you can also exfoliate your lips by using sugar and olive oil. Don't worry too much about the order you put them on, they will both set into your face in about 15 minutes. It is best to choose a moisturizer without fragrances, because they can dry the skin out.

Give yourself a manicure and pedicure.

Soak your hands and feet in hot water. File your nails, apply a clear coat of nail polish and after it dries, apply a colored base coat. After you are done, apply a moisturizing cream to keep your hands silky smooth.

Do your hair for the event.

You can style your hair however you want to. You can go with plain and straight, loose waves, or messy curls. You can do an up-do, or buns, or even a ponytail. Whatever you feel like doing, do it, and have fun! You can even add a headband so it looks extra cute.

Apply some makeup.

Foundation, concealer, and pressed powder are a good base for a full face. You can look cute with some blush too! For your eyes, eyeliner can highlight them and make it pop. Choose a good color, make sure you double coat your mascara, and fill in those brows with color. As for your lips, it depends on the clothes that you're going to wear. It's totally cool to go light if that's your style; but, just remember to be confident.

Choose an outfit.

It may help to ask what your friends are wearing so you can get some ideas. You can also look online if you need a little more motivation, find a similar event, and look at what others are wearing.

Don't forget the accessories.

Anything goes, like rings, earrings, piercings, or bangles. Anything flashy or shiny will attract attention. Of course you don't want to go overboard, say like putting a giant clock around your neck. A good rule of thumb is to remove one accessory before you leave the house. Too many can look gaudy. For the final touch, put on deodorant, and your favorite perfume and you are ready to go! Don't overdo scent.
