Date night and the anticipation that goes along with it is always exciting!
Whether it’s a first date or a date with a longtime partner, there’s nothing more fun than the date night beauty prep that goes into getting ready for that night out.
Truthfully, I don’t get to spend that much time on date night beauty because after having 2 kids and being with my husband for over twenty years, date nights are few and far between. But when they do come along, I love pulling out all the beauty tools, products and tricks that I can to look my best.
In this article, I’ll share some of my favourite date night beauty tips to get you looking your best for that special person in your life.

- Moisturize like a pro: Don’t let dry skin steal your shine! Layer on a moisturizer for a dewy, healthy look.
