Unsure of how to dress for an upcoming party? These tips will guide you towards the best fashion choices so you come out looking like a star.

No matter the type of event you’re attending, you’re going to want to make a statemen. Whether it’s a casual setting or an extremely fancy one, or just a typical night out with the girls, these tips and hints will help you put your very best heel forward in any scenario.

Casual Nights Out

If you’re just attending a casual event I’ve found it best to wear neutral, patternless pieces and then add in jewellery accessories to make yourself pop in a crowd. Rather than wearing a very busy and colourful top or dress, opt for something softer like a cream or ivory coloured blouse that is oversized. Tucking it into a pair of skinny jeans or even a pair of demin shorts will scream “casual” without saying “lazy”. Add a touch of colour with jewellery will finish off your look; try a bulky bracelet in a bright red or pink.

Stumped on what kind of shoes to wear to a casual scene? Flats are always the safest choice, and you can wear any kind of flat, too. Plain or fancy; it won’t matter: a ballet flat is the epitome of casual chic.

An Extremely Formal Outing

So you’ve been invited to a fancy gathering, whether it be a wedding reception or simply a birthday party at a fancy location. You have no idea what to wear. The first step would be to inquire with your host(s) about any specific attire that is required or suggested, and then go from there to build your look. For a special occasion, always do this before shopping around for clothing and accessories.

Dresses are always the safest route to go when planning an outfit for a fancy event, but if you’re not the dress type you may be stumped at what you could possibly put together. Although the pant suit hasn’t really made a return into the fashion world (at least in a good way), there is still plenty of room for you to dress up a simple pair of black dress pants. In keeping with the neutral and patternless theme for a casual night out, choose a top soft in colour with minimal patterning. My motto is always that less is more, and that wild and crazy patterns may look cute, but definitely not for a formal event. Find a satin blouse in a champagne tone, with black detailing either around the arm cuff or neck to complement your black dress pants.

A Fun Night Out With the Girls

These types of events are always the most fun and most likely easiest events to dress for. You have the most leg room here to go crazy with your outfit in a way that will match the mood of the evening with your friends. My personal favourites are form-fitting dresses in bright colours, matched with either a neutral or black pump so that all the attention is focused on your figure.

I like to keep accessories to a minimum when planning these kinds of outfits, so that the dress is what truly stands out. During the summer, find a form-fitting dress that is either strapless or sleeveless, in a bright summer colour like honeysuckle or coral. During the fall and winter, opt for a darker shade like navy blue or even black.

Just remember: each occasion you dress for has its own set of dos and don’ts. Making the right choices for the environment you’ll be in will ensure a successful night both fashion-wise and attitude-wise, because the best dressed woman always has the best time!

This article discusses problems related to specific skin conditions.

Under-eye circles

This is a very common problem, which is caused by: heredity, lack of sleep, mental and physical fatigue, stress and improper diet.

– If your cark circles are hereditary, you can hope to lighten them and camouflage them by the treatment given below; but they will not vanish.

– Sleep is very essential to both health and beauty. Lack of sleep is immediately visible by the telltale dark circles around the eyes. Make sure you get your six-eight hours of beauty sleep. Some people need more and some people need less. Skin revives itself when you sleep. This means eight to 10 hours each night, not five hours one night and 11 hours the next.

– If you are suffering from insomnia or chronic fatigue – something very common during menopause, consult your doctor and along with medical help, follow the daily treatment given below.

– A nutritious diet also goes a long way in preventing dark circles. It is found that insufficient iron, which causes anaemia, is also responsible for dark circles. So, to get rid of those dark circles or prevent them, include the following in your diet.

  • Eat a green leafy vegetable daily.
  • If you are a non-vegetarian, include liver and egg – especially yolk in your diet.
  • Iron supplement in the form of tablets can also be taken.
  • Figs, sultanas are also good sources of iron.
  • Wheat contains more iron than rice; so include wheat at least once a day in your diet.
  • Drink plenty of liquids, six-ten glasses of water per day. Moisture is the key to complexion.

– Stress, mental and physical, also increases dark circles. To relax, close your eyes. Squeeze the juice from grated cucumber; dip a cotton pad and place it on your eyes. Put on some soothing music, lie down and just’ shut your mind or think of all the good things that you have experienced. Dark circles also increase if you have been watching too much TV or working on the computer for long.

Tips for treatment at home for dark circles under eyes

At bedtime, cleanse the skin around the eyes using a herbal cleanser by applying it on the areas and wiping it off very gently with moist cotton. Apply an almond based under eye cream around your eyes. Remove with moist cotton after 10 minutes. Cream should not be left on the skin around the eyes when you sleep, or for long periods. For day time you can try the following:

Make a powder of almond and store in an airtight bottle. In the morning, make a paste with milk and apply around the eyes. Keep it on for 10-15minutes and wash with water. Take care not to pull or drag the skin around the eyes. Some parlours do a special under eye treatment and you could try that too.

Specially formulated masks containing seaweeds are also available for the purpose. It has a revitalising effect when applied under the eyes. When it dries, wash off with water. This should be used once a day.

Fresh air and exercise

Oxygen is vital to your skin. It has been observed that if you are continuously breathing in stagnated stale air (for example, if you work for 12hours in an air-conditioned office) you are prone to dark circles. To offset this, take a half-an-hour daily brisk walk and do some deep breathing exercises. This will do you as much good as an expensive under eye treatment.

Smoldering dark eyes is a classic sexy look that’s perfect for date night or a formal evening event. To get the look, you can use black eyeliner and eyeshadow or experiment with rich jewel tones like sapphire blue, amethyst purple, and emerald green. For the most alluring effect, use metallic eyeshadow that have a light-reflecting effect. Here’s how to create a smokey eye effect:
1.  Start by lining your upper and lower lash lines with an eyeliner that matches the eyeshadow you are going to use. Run the pencil from inner corners to outer corners, working it into the base of your lashes to create a bold look. You don’t want to see any gaps in your liner so use a smudger to blend the eyeliner.

2.  Sweep a pale shimmery bone or white shadow all over your lid area from lash lines up to brows. This will act as a base to the darker shadow and also enhance your brow bone structure.

3.  Apply your dark eyeshadow. Sweep it across your lids and blend well up into creases. Extend the eyeshadow slightly past your outer corners to create the illusion of long, almond eyes. If you make any mistakes, just use a cotton swap dipped in makeup remover to erase the flub.

4.  Pile on the mascara. Apply two to three coats black volumizing and lengthening mascara. Use a lash comb if needed to break up mascara clumps and get perfectly fanned out lashes.
