The tip: Be your best bold self!
"At this point, your date already likes you, but it’s time for him or her to not get too comfortable," Lewis said. "Bust out the big guns, and show your personality a bit more. Dare to be different here, and drop some spice."
What this means? In the words of Madonna: express yourself! "You want a top knot? You’ve got it," Lewis enthused. "You want to dye your tips bright green? Well, if that’s your jam, it’s probably time to show your date that side of you, too."
The same ideas apply to makeup. "Be bold," Lewis went on. "You want ultrarosy cheeks? Go for it. You want a dramatic eye? Go for a bolder liner. Maybe some highlighter on those cheekbones to really make them pop."
Her point: this is your chance to let your guard down, beauty-wise. "Your date doesn’t necessarily need to like everything you do pertaining to your hair regimen, but at this point, it is important to be true to the both of you," she said. "Show your partner what he or she is in for. I know, for me my 'true' self, hair isn’t done up or curled. It’s flatironed, parted down the middle. It says: take me this way or leave me. But also: I’m still rad."
