About Mrs. Hot Wings

Last time I told all of you about the Hottie Wing Date we had on a weeknight after work for our Date-a-versary. Now, let’s talk about how to be work appropriate and create some date-worthy sassiness for after work.

I must love y’all or something to show you so many pictures of myself looking like a hot mess. Or I just have no shame. Maybe both! ;)

Here’s my before picture of me with no makeup. Can you see why I still get carded? Geez. Yeah, let’s keep that photo small.

And bam! I’m ready to go to work. Like my new glasses? Want to see my old techy classes? Look to my profile pic to your right.

How the heck am I going to vamp this look up to be date-night worthy?

Transforming for the Date-a-versary Look :  wedding makeup san diego 34 IMG_3035

(1) Remove black cami to show a little more skin *wink wink*

(2) Add more lipstick.

(3) Remove glasses.

(4) Add pretty headband from B&B Couture.

Hint: As you grow your hair out for the big wedding day, it can get heavy and not want to hold a curl. So put your hair in a loose bun for work and it’ll hold the curls a tad better for date night.

I was pretty proud of myself!

What strategies do you have for transforming from work appropriate to date-night worthy?

Add some mascara or eyeliner. I’m Asian and don’t have any eye folds either. I line my top eyelid with black eyeliner and just leave the bottoms natural.

PS if you do the eyeliner and mascara thing, I would probably do a nude lipstick or gloss.

You look so pretty all dressed up for date night!!!! I can’t say i have a big transformation between my day to day look and glamming up for an event. Except maybe I curl my hair and wear something a little sexier
