Looking to take your date night style to the next level? Put these five looks into your repertoire—they’re classic, chic and sexy, and every college girl should have these in her arsenal to rock on any kind of date night! These five looks are presented by five of our stunning models from College Fashion Week Atlanta, styled by Milani Cosmetics and Bumble and bumble. trained hairstylists!
1. Smoky eye + natural hair
Classic and effortlessly sexy, every girl should master the smoky eye. We call it our go-to date night look. Add a dark lip for a bit of drama, but keep your hair natural so you don’t look too done up. We love this look for just about any date—an intimate dinner, an evening stroll or a movie.
2. Natural makeup + loose curls
If you’re not much of a makeup girl but still want a feminine, soft look for date night, focus on your hair. We love loose, slinky curls. Keep your makeup natural with a neutral eye shadow and a swipe of mascara just for some polish. This look works best for casual dates—of the Netflix and chill variety.
3. Statement eye + sleek pony
We don’t suggest this bold look for a casual date, but if you’re meeting at a party or cocktail bar, a statement eye look is the way to go. Choose bold eyeliner. Keep your hair sleek and pulled back (we like it middle-parted) in a low pony for a crisp, elegant look. Pair with a fun and flirty outfit!
4. Pink lip + messy bun
Put the focus on your luscious lips! Keep your eye makeup relatively basic, a bit of mascara and some under-eyeliner, and then a pouty pink lip. Put your hair into a low, pulled-back messy bun for something casual and chic. Rock this look for a daytime café date, a romantic dinner or a picnic!
5. Natural no-makeup look + middle part
You’re gorgeous the way you are! Makeup can just add a bit of polish: swipe a skin highlighter along your cheekbones. Keep your hair pulled back and middle-parted. This is a perfect date night look for just about anyone, anywhere.
At College Fashion Week Atlanta, we learned from the best in beauty: Milani Cosmetics. The show’s makeup artists gave all of the models gorgeous looks—perfect for date night beauty! Their brows were taken care of by European Wax Center, and their totally stylish clothing from Simon. We went to Lenox Square in Atlanta—the looks were all from Topshop, Bloomingdales and Macy’s! Finally, FIAT brought one blogger in their 500x Crossover to the event—talk about riding in style!
