Debs Date

The Perfect Debs Date

I know you have heard this all before… but please listen to me…
If you are not in a relationship with a guy for at least a couple of months, it is not generally a good idea to bring him to your debs.

In an ideal situation, you already know who you want to bring to your debs and its your boyfriend you have been dating for a while and you know he is going to ensure you have a great Debs Night.

For everyone else, you need to be careful when choosing your debs date.

You could really like a guy for ages now and thinking of asking him to accompany you to your debs, but if this is the plan, you should try and go on a few dates before you ask him to your debs.

Your date could ruin your evening, I should know….
I have been to two debs in my life…

The first was perfect, my boyfriend I had been dating for six months, he asked me to his Debs and we had a great night. My mum wouldn’t buy me a new dress so I had to borrow one, but I didn’t care. I still look back on the pictures now and always smile. He was a complete gentleman and it is a memory I will cherish forever…

The Second, was this really cute guy I dated a couple of times over the year, I thought he was goeurgous and was delighted when he invited me to his Debs, cause a lot of the other girls liked him too. I had a summer job, so I spent a small fortune on my dress with the aim to impress and got my hair, make-up and tan professionally done for the evening. On the night, he was an hour early picking me up as he was with his friend and we had to collect the other girl as well.. I wasn’t ready and had to rush into my dress and go… then to my great disappointment, both of us girls were ditched at the door… and had to spend the next ten hours together at a Debs where we didn’t know anyone else….total nightmare… I can definitely say I have no good memories of this evening…

By the time my own Debs came along, I choose not to attend. I think it was because I had asked the guy that ditched me at be my date, so I didn’t really have enough time to organise another date. Looking back now, I wish I had the sense to invite a friend and spend this momentous night with my friends. Instead I sat at home feeling sorry for myself. That guy was obviously soo not worth it !!

The lesson learnt …..is that your Debs is a night to celebrate with your Friends… if you are unsure of who to bring with you to this special night, make sure it is someone you know and trust. Someone that will look out for you, enjoy spending time with your friends and makes you laugh… you will never forget your Debs Night… even if you never get there…

Debs Make Up


Tips for Perfect Debs Make-Up

Less is more !!
First for FOUNDATION: Before applying makeup, make sure you wash and cleanse first. The night before, you might want to use a mask (one that you have used before) so that you feel extra refreshed and your skin feels supple before the big night. Getting ready the day of your prom night can be stressful, so try to prepare. After cleaning your face, apply an even coat of foundation - you want it to match the colour of your skin, and using a slightly tinted foundation can give those pale faces a more lively look. But try not to over apply - "The Less, the Better." One of my personal peeves is foundation lines (i.e., around the neckline) - so make sure that everything is blended. It helps if you use a well-lit room when you do your makeup. Use a concealer to blot out any unwanted blemishes.

EYES: Once the foundation is applied, it's time for the eyes. You don't want your shadow to necessarily match the dress because this will washout those beautiful eyes. Instead, compliment the dress with contrasting colour eye shadow. If you are wearing a blue dress, try applying peach or pink tones and if you are wearing a dark dress, you can compliment it with wine or purple colours. Do some experimenting before the big night. Curl your lashes before applying eye shadow and use mascara that will lengthen and separate your lashes. To make your shadow last longer, first apply a small coat of lotion to your lids.

BLUSH: Apply a blush that fits your fashion style as well as your skin colour. Keep it natural looking.

LIPSTICK: Use a gloss instead of a lipstick, if possible, - This season it is all about the shine. Any colour will do - just make sure that your lip colour doesn't wash your face out.
Makeup Styles
Prom night you will want to stand out, and the style this season is just that...dramatic.
If you want to go GLAM try wearing fake eyelashes. When applying, cut them into sections and use glue to apply evenly to the base of you natural eyelashes.
Remember not to go overboard by applying a lot of shadow to your eye lids and by wearing a deep lipstick - the lashes will say enough. Coat your eyes with natural beige and then use a dark liner along your lashes.

A TRENDY run way model style is to use shadow as a liner and smudge it outward towards your crease. Do this all the way around your eyes (top and bottom). The best colours to use are gold, purple, and turquoise. Use a very thin dark liner at the tips of your eyes if you want to darken your eyes. Stay away from dark lips; go for subtle pink to beige.
Since prom is your night to be all done up and girlie, you might want to highlight your makeup with PINK tones. Use vanilla shadow on your brow bone and put a pink shimmer around your lash line. Don't use too much pink - you don't want to look like you have a case of pink eye. Blend the pink upward toward the vanilla. The key to makeup is learning how to blend. Now outline your eye with a pink pencil. Use a soft pink on the apple of your cheeks and use a pixie pink on your lips.
If you want to put the focus on your LIPS, apply a red lip-gloss. Keep your eyes a natural tone. Instead of using black eyeliner, substitute it for brown eyeliner. Popular now is to use gloss, but if you use a regular lipstick, make sure that you mix it with a clear gloss until you have a load of shine.
Tips to Remember:
• Even out your eyes and your lips by bringing attention to only one
• Find good mascara
• Get 8 hours of sleep 2 days before
• Eat healthy... your face will be happy!
• Blend foundation evenly
• Wear a shiny gloss
• Less is more!

The Debs Dress !


Debs Dress Disasters: 5 Debs Dress Mistakes to Avoid
Debs Dress Disasters: 5 Debs Dress Mistakes to Avoid
 Dream Dress with a Nightmare Price tag
 Don’t dress like a twig if you aren’t one
 Don’t make a bad color choice.
 Less is More ? seriously
 If its not right ? its just not right!

1. Money!
Don’t buy a dress that honestly doesnt look great on you just because the price tag is nice – it’s only false economy. If you don’t have the money for something straight off the Hollywood red carpet, then get creative. Borrow or rent a dress, attack the sales, you could get the perfect dress for a fraction of the original cost. Price does not equal style – the price tag should not dictate your decision but it’s definitely a factor. A €600+ dress is not necessarily more stunning than one for €200, but a great option to make a designer dress affordable is to rent it!
Remember, you can get a dream dress without a nightmare price tag.
2. Don’t dress like a twig if you aren’t one.
If you’ve actually got a figure, don’t go for the straight look, it just wont work – trust me. Go for something to work with your body not hide it or change it! Be yourself! Everyone has their own body shape regardless of your dress size, the key to a great debs dress is to understand your body shape and how to dress it to make the most of all your assets.

3. Don’t make a bad color choice.
Pick the right color. Have you ever looked over, and saw the sickly looking girl in the yellow dress? Well, that goes to show you, PICK THE RIGHT COLOR FOR YOUR SKIN, ok? Your skin doesn’t change color, the dress does. Don’t be a fashion victim – just because canary yellow looks fantastic on Kate Hudson does not mean it will look as good on you.
4. Less is More … seriously
You can show off your legs, you can show off your upper body, you can show off your back, but it’s best to keep it classy and just pick one!
Don’t over accessorize! Choose accessories with care – they can add to create a stunning overall look or can make a dress look tacky. Proceed with caution on this one ladies!
There’s definitely a type of bra to go with any debs dress – get the underwear right and it will really pay off!! Get advice from an experienced debs dress sales assistant to guide you in this area – they’ll be more familiar with the unusual underwear requirements for these specialized dresses.
5. If its not right – its just not right!
Don’t get talked into a dress you don’t truly love. You might need to try on a load of dresses but it will be worth it. The average girl tries on at least 20 debs dresses before finding the one, so be patient. And don’t forget to bring a friend, your mum, best friend or sister to give you an honest opinion.
But don’t be too picky in the beginning; how a dress looks on the hanger is not a good indication of how it will look on, you may be pleasantly surprised but remember if its not right – its just not right, move on to the next dress!
Once you have the Perfect Dress, you need to make sure you have the Perfect Venue for your Debs Night.
