Got a big date around the corner? Whether it’s the first one with a long-time crush or with trusted hubby, date nights are an indulgence we all enjoy. But, do date nights leave you with anxiety instead? What to wear, how to get ready in time, how to have your hair and skin looking its best….?
If you need a short checklist to get you ready and dolled up for that romantic occasion, this is the page for you. We’ve got the easiest ways for you to unwind and yet look your stunning self – as easy as date-ready can get!
Step 1: Get a facial.
Glowing, nourished skin is a must on every date night, so this is on the first of our list! A facial can help make you look radiant and beautiful by delivering treatments to your skin. You can opt for an exfoliating facial to eliminate blemishes, like those icky blackheads on your nose. Of course, a hydrating facial can also give you smooth, plump skin – depending on your preference! Often, facials also include a relaxing massage, which could help ease your date jitters.
Just a quick reminder: get a facial at least three days before your date. This is because some facials, especially exfoliating treatments, may make your skin extra sensitive. So, unless you want to show up to your date looking like a flared-up tomato, wait a few days first. This also allows your skin to fully absorb the ingredients, making it look glowing and beautiful.

Step 2: Spruce up your nails – but on a budget.
Nail appointments, as much as we all love them, take so much time. Not to mention, it’s also costly, so it’s hard to maintain. Great news: you can get date-ready nails without breaking the bank using press-on nail stickers! These budget-friendly nail stickers give you a professional-looking manicure in under 10 minutes. They also come in a plethora of designs, lengths, and shapes, so there’s something that’ll fit your aesthetic. However, press-on nail stickers come with a learning curve, so take some time to practice applying them first.
Step 3: Time for eyelash extensions!
Nobody wants mascara drooping all over their face at the end of the date! Fortunately, eyelash extensions give you beautiful, fluttery lashes with minimal effort. They make you look put together without spending much time doing your makeup. The easiest way to ensure your eyelashes don’t look over the top and stay on for longer is to go to an expert in the field. If you skimp on the price, chances are your lash extensions will show it too. Don’t forget to bat those lashes all night long!
Step 4: Get your hair done.
Your hair is your crowning glory; remember that! And if there’s anything we’ve learned from the viral TikTok hair theory, your hairstyle makes all the difference. It’s best to leave your locks in the hands of your trusted hairdresser, so you can guarantee you’ll look gorgeous. A hairdresser-on-dial will also save you from the hassle of travelling to the salon. They can work on your hair right at home, so you can go straight to doing makeup after your hair!
Step 5: Finish it off with makeup.
When all is said and done, it’s time to finish your date night prep with makeup. Choose a long-lasting, waterproof base to look fresh all night. If possible, pair your makeup colour with the colour of your outfit. Don’t forget to use kiss-proof lipstick, so you can seal the night with kisses sans the hassle!
