To start with you should always remember makeup should be applied in a way which helps lift the face to make it look more beautiful. Cosmetics should not be used as something to hide behind, rather make up should be used to enhance and accent your beauty. This starts with a good basic skincare regime using AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) cleansers, rich moisturisers, natural exfoliants. Body scrubs and toners will make your skin visibly smoother and more youthful so that makeup application has an even more natural and beautiful look.

Basic tips for improving overall skin and well being condition for that perfect date:

Stay out of the sun or at least use a high factor sun screen

Get as much sleep as you can

Eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of water.

To rejuvenate skin use a face mask and tighten and firm (try collagen enhancing products like Monu Active Collagen Eye patches and Matis Skin Corrective Anti Aging products).

After carrying out the basic skin care and conditioning, we move on to the fundamentals of achieving that perfect look for a date and remember smell, i.e. perfume and fragrances, is very important.

Cheeks should be creamy and sunkissed. Go for peach tones with gold enhancing bronzes - this will bring your cheeks alive. For creating a flawless sunkissed face and body for summer, try Estee Lauders 'Just off the beach' range.

Shimmery golds and bronzes and honeytones will brighten your eyes when it comes to eyeshadow. Be brave and experimental. Try this seasons metallics - green and blue tones are great for accentuating your eyes. Try MAC's new summer range which include Floral Colours in blues, lavendars and greens. Metallics will dazzle the eyes.

Mascara is essential! It's the little black dress of make up - Christian Dior Show Mascara is fabulous (for fullness and thickness).Try some sparkle to the face - especially the eyes. Shimmer always looks sexier and more youthful. Glitter can look fabulous at night to attract the attention of the male admirer - MAC and Urban Decay have a fab range.

For essential sexy juicy lips, you should go for super glossy and glimmery! Glossy terracota lips are hot this season. Lancôme are the best! Try Benefits Lip Plump for sexy lips or Too Face Lip Injection Extreme to create that perfect puckered lip effect for the perfect kiss!! Red lips can be very sexy to a man, with lashings of gloss, but if not applied correctly can be a disaster zone for you and your date! Try lip glosses that contain aroma and have scents and taste good enough to eat! Try products by Urban Decay, Hard Candy and Mac - they specialise in this.

False eyelashes to create the doey-eyed come hither look! (Ellure are fab from Boots) or try semi permanent Jinny lashes for a longer lasting effect.

Try a trip to the nail salon - try a sexy red or a fabulous French manicure - or be dangerous and try O.P.I. black onyx or Chanels Ceramic Noir for drama.

By day make up should never look too much or caked. This can often put off an admirer - go for tinted moisturisers - soft eye tones - creamy soft cheeks and a little nude lip gloss.

To finish top this off with shimmering skin - Benefit, MAC and Dior do a fabulous body care range. Try MAC Sundressing for that perfect brush on bronzer for legs and for the face - MAC Studio Mist foundation for that lightweight natural look.
