Have you ever wondered how celebs manage to look so effortless and at ease on the red carpet? Sure, having a glam squad and racks of designer clothes at your fingertips can't hurt, but sometimes it's the little rituals and routines that help make all the difference. Red carpet pro and Mercy star Michelle Trachtenberg tells us how she gets ready for a big event. Read on for her beauty tips and to learn how you can win a starlet-worthy prize package stuffed with all of her feel gorgeous essentials!
Put Your Best Face Forward
I use facialist Kate Somerville's products the night before an event to make sure my skin is glowing and hydrated. The day of, I use Armani Luminous Silk Foundation to give me a camera-ready look.
Smile For The Camera
On the red carpet, your smile is everything; it's the secret to making every photo a great one. In the days leading up to a big event on and off the red carpet, I use the new Crest and Oral-B 3D White collection to give me a smile that stands out. The new strips and paste are my secret smile weapons.
On-The-Go Essentials
I always carry my favorite gloss, Stila's Lip Glaze in Vanilla, my Blackberry and an eyelash curler in my purse at red carpet events.
Relax and Restore
The night before a big red carpet event I'll take a bath using Molton Brown's Warming Eucalyptus Shower Gel. It makes for a relaxing night's sleep and a beautiful morning.
Let the Music Play
When getting ready for a big event, I listen to upbeat pop music like Lady Gaga, Madonna or Britney Spears. I love preparing for an event in a positive, energetic way.
Accessorize Your Life
Jewelry can make or break an outfit! Currently, I am loving the jewelry I design with Coach for their Poppy Collection--the accessories are girly and fun, yet sophisticated at the same time and perfect for spring.
Just because you're not planning on floating down the red carpet anytime soon doesn't mean you can't spoil yourself like you are. We've teamed up with the folks at Crest to offer you the chance to win some of Michelle Trachtenberg's favorite things. One lucky winner will receive:

I get ready for a big night out by messing up my whole bedroom. I will get started by picking out my clothes, which takes me an hour, and then put it on, and then do my makeup! I like to put some pop and dance muss on while I get ready to get me in the mood and happy!

I spend a little extra time with my hair and makeup. Mostly I like to do a more dramatic eye look, apply a little shimmer to my cheek bones and have a bold nail color on. I try on about half my closet, I chose outfits that make me feel confident and comfortable at the same time.

Something I always do a body scrub with a scrub for 100% pure, I also make sure to do a face mask from Kiehls Rare Earth, and do a deep conditoner as well (NOT IN THAT ORDER) These are just some extra things to get my face, skin and hair looking right.

to get ready for a big night out I start by planning my outfit quite a ways in advance then I make sure to up my water intake 2-3 weeks before, eat lots more raw/ fresh foods, cut out alcohol at least 2 weeks in advance then up my workouts in either length or frequency. This isn't really to lose any weight but to help my skin look it's best. If I lose some weigh in the process, awesome. The day of I take a nice long shower, deep condition my hair, shave moisturize. Once I get out of the shower I crank up the music and I do any shaping to my eye brows then start on my makeup. Then I straighten my hair and make sure it's nice and glossy. Then I get dressed, go out and have the time of my life!

I take a long bubble bath while listening to some great music. After some great moisturizing, I make sure that my nails are done and do my face and hair. I spray a little scent and put on my already chosen outfit and shoes. Check myself in the mirror and hit the door!
Most of all, I just put a smile on my face because I like myself and know that I am going to have fun!!

When I'm getting ready for a big night out, I make sure that I don't do it alone!.After a refreshing shower with a citrus wash (it makes you feel energized!) I have my girls over to get the night started right! We help to pick out a fun outfit, share accessories, and gush over each others shoes. Plus, how awesome is it to have your friends there to help with hair and makeup? Once we're looking great, we turn up the music and have fun getting getting pumped up for the night!
Once we all look and feel amazing, I grab my bag of choice for the night (because what is a girl without her cell phone and favorite lip gloss?). I'm ready to hit the town!

When I am getting ready for a night out on the town, I take a relaxing bath and really exfoliate. My makeup routine is pretty much the same as daytime, except slightly more bold. I don't do anything different with my hair. Last things are my good jewelry and perfume and a small clutch with a wrist loop so I don't have to worry about carrying a purse.

To get ready for a big night out, I usually take a quick shower, throw on a little make-up, shake out my fanciest pair of Levi's and a clean shirt, and hit the road with my favorite man and best friend ( they are one in the same!). No matter where we go, he makes me feel like the most beautiful person in the room. I would love to have the glam package, but in all honesty, I don't need to glam up to feel beautiful when I have a husband that boosts my self esteem everyday of my life. I am beautiful and I feel beautiful whether I am glammed out in my best little black dress or my old torn levis and worn out corvette shirt. ;)

When getting ready for a big night out, I have make sure everything is as perfect as possible... First thing: music has to be on and LOUDLY! I take a long steamy shower, take my time applying my makeup because I have to look flawless! Put on my clothes while dancing and singing along to my music... and right before I'm out the door, a quick mouthwash rinse... and the heels go on! :)

I mentally pick out and try on clothes during the day. Once I'm home, I put on some happy music and dance around while I pull out my clothes, decide on make-up colors and shower. I may do a good coffee or salt scrub in the shower, and I'll definitely do a good moisturizing once I'm out. Then I put on make-up and style my hair while shaking my bum and singing. The last thing is to get dressed, and then I hit the door. It's time to have fun!

I plan for a good shower with plenty of time to shave/exfolitate etc. I will relax and dry off listening to my favorite tunes on Pandora on my blackberry. Then I get out my feel good outfits and pick the best one for the night. I save hair and make-up for last......and than I am out the door :)

I start out early and get a mani/pedi if I have enough time. Then, I come home & relax. I often take a shower earlier in the day, then I don't feel as rushed later on. I always curl my hair at the last minute in hopes that it will hold as long as possible. I pamper myself with lotions and perfume as well as a little wine while I put on my makeup. Last step is grabbing my bag & shoes.

I'm a pretty low-key sorta girl, but when it's time for the big night out, I make sure to do it right! Take a nice hot shower, make sure I pick out the perfect outfit, shoes, accessories, the whole works! Then I take as much time as I need to make sure my make-up is flawless. Normally I'm a 30 minutes and go woman on the move, but on my night, if it takes me 3 hours, it takes me 3 hours! I might only be out for a couple hours, but I'm gonna treat myself right before that because I don't get to do it all that often. And if you can't pamper yourself, who will?

I like to shower exfoliate and shave Lol i like to try on what i should wear that night before i actually start getting ready then i take my time doing a very sexy smokey eye and once my body is dry i apply some self tanner and start doing my hair i like volume so like i say "volumize" my hair :) and i love that process. I love getting ready as much as i like to go out!

I love to listen to pop music like Lady Gaga and Britney while I try on pretty much every and any outfit I can think of. I also love to eat junk food while I'm getting ready, specifically swiss rolls. MY FAVE!! After I've picked out my outfit, I stick my cell phone in my pocket and hit the town!

The process of getting ready for a big night out takes me several days! I start with shopping for the perfect outfit, head to toe. A few days before, I get a facial (I have sensitive skin, so I go early to avoid any redness). The day of, I head to the Aveda spa. I love it there! I get a massage and finish up with a long hot shower, then head over for a mani/pedi. I go home and fix my hair and apply makeup while rocking out to my favorite music...then I get dressed, drop all my essentials (phone, gloss, mirror, mints) into a great clutch and head out!

When I am getting ready to go out I,of course, shower and then moisturize my body and face. I normally wear minimal makeup but for a special occasion I like to emphasize my eyes with a smokey look. Then I do my hair and get dressed. The last thing I do is ask my sweet hubby how I look and he always says beautiful. Oh wait, the LAST think I really do is give him a big kiss.

When I have a big evening planned, I start by getting plenty of sleep the night before so that I look refreshed. When I'm ready, I turn on a fun and funky mix on my iTunes to set the mood. I take a nice, hot shower, using Cibu Spring Roll shampoo and conditioner for soft hair and a honey-vanilla body scrub so that I smell sweet. I set my hair in rollers to give me a soft wave and plenty of body, and while my hair works, I put on just a touch of foundation, powder, and blush. For night events, a smokey eye is a must-have. No matter what I wear, I make sure to strap on my favorite pair of black heels and a big statement necklace.
I spray a bit of perfume as I head to the door--then, I grab my keys, my bag, and it's off for an amazing night!

After the LONG shower (gotta get the relaxing in), I make sure to get the girls over to join in the fun. I tend to get tired and lazy if I get ready alone. I blast one of my girly playlists and start with all the prep work. Lotion, hair product, etc. Next step, make-up. Next step, hair. I tend to rush through those quickly to save time for the last step... finding something to wear. Not fun! I will typically go through about 6 outfits before I pick one, then change SOMETHING with it right before I walk out the door.

I always have to plan my nights out since I have a 9 month old son.
Little bubbees gets to spend time with grams.
Now the big planning starts.... what to wear!
I lay everything out then jump in the shower. After getting all clean with my yummy smelling products, I get dress then makeup and hair. I don't want any makeup rubbing on my clothes and don't want my hair getting messed up.
Spray on some yummy perfume and I'm out the door with shoes in hand. :-)

First, I try on at least ten different outfits before I find the one I want to wear. If it's something I've known is coming for a while I'll have been using Crest WhiteStrips, depending on the occasion. Then I take a shower and shave (Aveeno shaving cream is the best!). I use Jergen's self tanning lotion on my legs. Then I put Sunsilk gel and creme twist in my hair, and blow dry using a diffuser for curly hair. I brush my teeth, put on my make up and put on the outfit I picked out (though I might change my mind!) I put on perfume and deodorant (of course!), put on some lip stick, pop a mint and go!

If I know I have a big event coming up, I make sure that for a few days before I drink plenty of water so my skin is clear and fresh, and get alot of sleep. I'll even take a nap that day if I can! I make sure that I have my outfit picked out all the way down to jewelry and bag the day before, so I have time to run to the shops that day for any last-minute replacements. I pamper myself with a mani-pedi, and a nice hot shower with L'Occitane's verbena shower gel and body lotion. The biggest thing is to make sure I have enough time to get beeeutiful - nothing worse than rushing around at the last minute!

I usually take a nice hot milk bath and while resting in the tub, I have on a facial mask (peel off kind) and my Crest strip on my teeth. Once out of the tub, I used my favorite lotion all over. I do my hair and makup then, I get dressed and check myself out before walking out the door.

Of course we all want to look our best when we go out, so to be sure I put my best face forward I use my custom blended foundation from BeYourselfBeauty.com to be sure my skin looks flawless, and I have the perfect look with customized products that were chosen just for me based upon my eye color, hair color and skin undertone...

Before I go out for a big night, I turn on the music to get the night started. I pick out an outfit that will suit my curves well and pick matching jewerly. I then take a hot, relaxing shower, make sure I'm all nicely shaved. I then straightened my hair. I then sit down and relax to do my marvelous makeup, which I'm really good at. I put on my outfit and jewerly. The last thing I do is put on my perfume, get my keys and purse and I'm out the door for a fabulous night out!

Whenever me and the girls are going out, we always lounge around for a while with wine glasses in our hands, planning out the night. Then, we put the music on and we all kick into gear. The hair straighteners and curling irons come out first. Then we're passing clothes back and forth trying to decide what to wear. Usually we plan our outfits around the shoes we want to show off that night.
Then we do the frantic rush around the house for our purses, IDs, keys, etc. and head out the door.

My prep starts the morning of the big night out. In the morning, before work, I polish my nails. I may also exfoliate my face in the morning, so that it is looking super fresh that night. Then when I get back home, I usually like to take a relaxing and refreshing shower and afterwords apply lotion to my whole body. (nothing heavy, just a light lotion to give my skin that silky smooth look) Then, once I've turned on my favorite music to get the night started, I style my hair and set it, and then move on to my makeup. Finally, after I've put together the outfit that I've been assembling in my head all day, I'll give myself a light spray of perfume (again, nothing heavy) and I'm all set to go; polished, squeaky clean, and ready for a fun night! ^_^

I get a glass of wine so it's waiting for me when I get out of the shower. Then I put on lotion, most often something with shimmer added to it. While I alternate between blowing my hair dry and putting on makeup, I think about what to wear and what shoes to put with it. By the time I'm done with hair and make up, I get dressed and start accessorizing. Now the wine is finished and I am ready to go!

Big night out! Wooh, those don't come too often. How sad .. I know, haha. But when they do I start with a nice refreshing shower - definitely relaxing. Then I usually crawl into bed and let my hair dry a little on its own. For some reason I have it in my head that blowdrying it fully wet is bad for it. Then it's on with the straightener, out with the combs and makeup box .. a tragic collection no doubt - some of you will be relieved to know that I finally gave in and threw away the makeup that expired in 1995. Nor do I use the blue sparkly eye shadow anymore at 29. I'm figuring it out!
That frenzy of straightening and curling under and straightening and spraying is followed by my frenzied application of makeup ... complete with dabbing and blotting and brushing and 4 different shades of eyeshadow - yes, I kept the instructions with the pretty pictures.
Then it's clothes because I never think to dress before doing the hair which requires me to then try and put a shirt on like an acrobat to avoid even grazing the perfectly sculpted mane.
Honestly, the shower and relaxing in bed to allow my hair to damped are the only time I have in my whole process that aren't frenzied. Mascara and lipstick go on in the car because for some reason I decided that's where they belong - not with the rest of the makeup on my dresser. I know, very clever.
I hope you all enjoyed a little insight into my prep for the big night out!

When I get ready for a big night out, I want to look my best. I have stayed hydrated by drinking water and have eaten sensibly. but not starved myself.
I shower in lukewarm water, because water that is too hot will leave your skin too dry. While I'm in the shower, I take a little extra time to exfoliate and use a facial scrub to make sure that my skin is all fresh and tingly. I moisturize to keep my skin looking fresh. Of course, I have already planned out what I am going to wear and how I am going to do my hair and make-up. I don't like to spend lots of time primping so my hair is usually add some gel or mousse and then some smoothing serum, scrunch and go. My make-up takes a little longer. Usually by now my husband is waiting for me so I have to hurry it up.

I like to get ready for a night out by getting together with friends and good music. We dance and laugh as we get ready to go out and it also helps to have a second opinion from people you trust before you go out. Its a great way to boost your confidence and kick off the night before you go out. Guaranteed good night.

Big nights out happen frequently in my life, so I am used to switching gears from work to play in just moments. I dash into the bathroom at the office, touch up and reapply my makeup in darker tones than for daytime, throw my head forward to fluff up my hair, slip into the high heels I keep at my desk, take off the suit jacket 'cause I generally have a cute camisole under it, apply dark red lipstick and refresh my purfume and viola! Away we go!

For a big night out, I like to take a long hot shower, taking longer than usual while using lovely scented body wash, which is usually anything BUT floral. When I get out of the shower, I make sure to use Avon's bath oil to make sure my skin is silky smooth for the big night. Then I brush my teeth to make sure my mouth is refreshed for the night. Afterwards, I style my wavy hair into a slick, pin straight do, making sure there's no frizz. I do my nails in a bright color, whether frosted or matte, depending on what I feel like. I do my makeup in a dramatic look, with shimmer on my cheeks, a deep smokey eye, and a pale lip to complete it. I then choose my clothes for the night, which also like to reflect on my mood. When I'm all set there, I put on my favorite fruity perfume, grab my bag (complete with cell phone, gloss, the main color eyeshadow of my look, and gum), look in the mirror, and laugh at myself, knowing I'm ready to have a great time and to just remember to smile.

I start my ensemble building by picking my shoes and earrings. The rest of the outfit gets built around those. After my outfit is complete, it's on to hair and make-up. I usually set my hair then let it cool while doing my make-up. Last step is always cranking "Tonight's going to be a good night" by BEP to get in a party mood!

It's all about the hair. It usually takes me an hour to do my hair. Once that is under control, the rest is all downhill.

When I go out I enjoy a nice relaxing tub with a few candles, and sip on some white wine. This allows time for hair cholesterol to do it's magic and use a gentle Mary Kay face cleanser. It's always best to cleanse face after doing your hair to keep any residue off your face. Don't forget ladies to cleanse and moisturize your declate.

To get ready for a big night is always fun! In the shower, and a cooler one at that, to wake me up, I shave extremely well, and wash my face and body with a sweet smelling exfoliating scrub. I'll run a clear coat over my nails while letting my hair air-dry. Apply mousse and a shining coat to also help with frizz. Slip on a cute outfit for whatever the occasion, and make sure to brush my teeth, because a smile is the best accessory!

I always drink plenty of water before and get out of bed with enough time for a long shower and to be able to spend as much time as I need to get ready without being rushed.

I make sure the babysitter is to arrive about an hour early so I can go upstairs and peacefully get ready without our twin 5 year olds and 3 year old bothering me. Even boys, it seems, like to play with the hair dryer and my hair spray and it helps me relax to be able to do it all in peace (which only happens about once or twice a year!) I'll take it when I can get it!!!

I don't really remember what's it is like to have a big night out. It has been quite a while. However, with the help of these GLAM ESSENTIALS I am sure that my previous routine would return to my memory quite quickly. And I would definitely make my husband provide me with that Big Night Out!

I haven't had a night out in forever but, I start by taking a shower. I then boil water and make a cup of tea to relax me and start by doing my make up. I do smokey eyes for a night out. From there I get dressed (all but the shirt- I still have to do my hair!). I start on my hair, blow dry it, mousse, style halfway, put on the shirt, and finish it off. I add accessories, what is a night out without cute accessories? I then throw on some killer heels and grab a matching handbag, give a kiss to my kids, and out the door I go!

I start by taking a shower and then slip into some comfortable clothes to get ready. I start by throwing products in my hair and letting it sit and air dry. I then apply my makeup. Then I fix my hair in whatever style I'm going with. Right before I leave is when I put on my outfit, shoes, and lots of jewelry and then I am ready for a night out!

Getting ready for a night out is my favorite time to pamper myself....no matter what the occasion, I always ensure I have plenty of time to prepare and primp!
I always enjoy and relaxing hot shower to make myself feel at my best and moisturize my skin thoroughly. Then I style my hair and put on a bit more a makeup than my day look to make me feel glamorous and girly...I take plenty of time choosing just the right outfit and and accessories, then I finish off my preparations with a spritz of my favorite perfume and I'm ready for a great night out!

To get ready for a big night out I prepare first with a good night's rest the night before, making sure I look well rested for the day ahead. A couple of hours prior I'll take a nice long shower with my favorite smelling body wash, at the moment Vera Wang Princess Body Polish, and wash my hair with Herbal Essence. I'll wash my face with Clinique and apply a moisturizing lotion. Afterwards I'll style my hair with my curling iron, and pin it up to keep it out of the way and paint my nails and toe nails in the meantime. With an outfit picked out in advance, I simply get dressed and unclip my hair and give it a light tousle. I'll apply my makeup and sprtiz on some perfume and I'm out the door!

First I wash my face with Neutrogena clear complexion bar. Then I use Burt's Bees Rosewater and Glycerin Astringent. I then apply a light moisturizer such as Oil of Olay (the original) or Aveeno Radiant Moisturizer. I never use foundation, so I apply concealer light where needed and then brush Coty loose powder all over the face and brush away any excess. I then contour my face with a bronzer and apply blush to the cheeks and cheekbones. I then curl my eyelashes and apply 2-3 coats of Cover Girl Professional Black Mascara. I have tried them all and this is still the best mascara. I put the mascara on first so that I can see the line of my eye better for putting on the eye shadow. They I apply light gold to the lids, brown in the crease and beige or white close to the brow. I then apply Models Prefer eyebrow pencil to fill in the eyebrows and they brush off the excess. For the lips, it depends where I am going. But usually I use a lip stain and then go over it with Cover Girl Lip Plumping Lip Gloss. It comes in a rainbow of colors to suit any mood. Then comes the jewelry, the sexy dress and heels and I am out the door!

After a shower I blast some fun party music while I do my hair then makeup with lots of dramatic eye colors, dark lashes, and a nude glossy (sometimes sparkly) lip. Then I get dressed, the 6 essentials I always keep in my wristlet are my phone, keys, lip gloss, gum, money, and ID. A positive attitude is the best way to enjoy my night out!

First, make sure there's enough time to get everything together in a relaxed manner. Second, pick out what is going to feel soft and sexy to wear. Third, take care of all hygiene--teeth, hair and nails. Fourth, a long hot bath with essential oil salts and soft music. Finally, time to finish hair styling, apply mineral make up and shine! After that the rest of the evening is fun that's all mine.

Getting ready for a special night out requires that you bring out all your favorite beauty products that you save for those rare nights out. I love to start out with a bubble bath with the Lush Comforter. That relaxes me and makes me feel special because I don't get to take a long bubble bath that often. A facial mask gets my skin glowing and ready for makeup. I usually use more styling products in my hair than usual to give it lasting body. My favorite outfit and a pair of smashing shoes makes me feel confident and ready to face the crowd!

Quick shower, let my hair mostly air-dry before I either curl it or straighten it, depending on my mood. I play upbeat music in the background, and get my makeup done quickly, throw on clothes that fit the event and go!

It's always good to start with a clean slate, so I start by taking a shower. When I am finished, I toss my hair up in a bun and put on some make-up; usually, my make-up consists of foundation, blush, mascara, and some smokey-colored eye shadow. Then I let my hair down, straighten it, get dressed and get going.

Before a night out I pick out my outfit first then do my make-up and hair. I usually pluck my eyebrows to make sure they look perfect! I also spray a little bit of hair spray on my fingers then run it over my eyebrows to make sure they stay. Nothing is worse than a girl with crazy messy eyebrows. And lastly I always spray my favorite perfume and a little on my hair.

My strategy is well thought out but often self-destructs ... The night before a big "evening out", I do my moisturizing thing, pick out several potential outfits, shoes, purses, etc. and think about the solution overnight. The next day, I awake and have my solution ... I do my usual daily routine then allow 2-3 hours for a long bath, a glass of wine and some mellow soothing music.
After I finish my eucaplyptus soak, remove my lavendar eyepods, sip my last drop of wine; I check my watch and find I am running way behind schedule. I then turn on my makeup light, do my makeup and finally start dressing.Of course, my magical solution does not look like I want so I trash it,, try another, then can't find one of the matching shoes, (blame it on the dog), try something else and don't like it, so I pull something else out of the closet totally different than anything I planned. (Usually black and white or if I am really frustrated with my strategy a shocking neon blue or fuschia. Then I jazz it all up with dramatic earrings or a hot belt , and/ or crazy tall wedges (afterall, accessorizing is the trick!). Then, if whomever makes my night hot or not, likes my look or not, I will at least have enjoyed my zen bathing session and will not have had to bring them back to my place since I wouldn't dream of letting anyone see such a mess!

first and foremost the best way to start a great night is with a great day, after a full night sleep, i make sure to make time for some exercise, like a quick swim. i eat light and healthy all day, water, fruit, and veggies. Then i crank up some great tunes, lady gaga or a little fergie can really get ya movin", light some of my favorite candles. apply a face mask and set my hair in rollers for added volume. then a relax in a mosturizing bath with a nice glass of wine.
after some great mosturizer and my robe. apply some fabulous makeup, sing at the top of my lungs, pack my purse with the neccessary tools, lipstick, gum, credit card, id and phone!
slip into my favorite outfit for the night, add any final accessories and some great heels and i am out the door!

Once I figure out my outfit, I'm all set! I have specific colors of makeup that go with my favorite outfits so unless I'm wearing something really unusual, I know exactly what makeup I want to wear.

Whenever I am getting ready for a big night on the town, its always appropriate to get some of your best girls together and just have a good time, whether it's clothes swapping or helping one another out on hair and makeup. Getting ready is just as much fun as the event that you are going out to, so why not double the fun in your night!

For a big night out, I usually have a few ideas for outfits starting earlier in the week. The night before, I decide what I'm doing with my hair and makeup and start to visualize the complete outfit as I fall asleep. I like to give myself far too much time to get ready, if at all possible. Often I'll shower and shave and blow-dry my hair in the morning. Usually, if I put makeup on in the morning at all, I'll do something that I can add to later, rather than needing to start over. If I'm not leaving the house, I don't do makeup at all until I'm getting ready for the evening, so that it's as fresh as possible. Then when it's actually time to get ready, I do my hair and makeup first, going back and forth between the two, and then hope that I'll be able to leave in the first outfit I put on, though often I make a mess of my room trying on different outfits to find the one I really want to wear that night.

To get ready for a big night out the week before the event I begin eating healthier foods and working out more so that my body is in tip-top shape. I also begin whitening my teeth and drinking more water. To relax the night before I take a nice warm shower and exfoliate my body. I also apply a deep-conditioner so my hair is extra smooth. I go to bed an hour earlier so my skin is glowing and I look well-rested. The day of the event I get my nails done (or apply fake ones myself), I shower and blow-dry my hair. Then I apply my makeup in colors that accentuate my green eyes. Lastly I apply a certain kind of tanner (my secret!) for a golden glow that looks amazing. Now I'm ready to go and sure I look my best.

I don't have a lot of "big" nights out. So, I believe that getting ready for a big night out, since it is a rarity for me, and being disabled by a nerve disease, I believe it should be as fun as the night out itself. It is't a really big night out, I schedule time with my hairstylist, have her shampoo, condition and style my hair. This way, I don't spend my energy up before the big evening. I make sure that my feet are looking good, with a great color of nail polish. I then put lotion on my arms, legs, and chest. I decide what to wear based upon my feeling and the situation. I lay it out, and then do my make-up. I try to keep it natural, accenting the eyes and the lips. I then make sure that my posture is not lazy, and slip on the outfit of the evening, the jewelry to go with it, and lastly, the shoes, making for a perfect ensemble. I never try to be someone who I'm not, never going overboard. Natural beauty comes from within, and if you are confident with that, the rest will shine through to those you are with.

I take a shower & wash my hair -- the shampoo/conditioner type depending on how I want my hair to look -- then I blow-dry & style my hair while I put on my makeup. I really enjoy the getting ready process, so I'll also have a cup of coffee & listen to music, if I have the time. After the makeup comes choosing an outfit. This is usually when I kick myself for not having decided earlier, since I almost always end up putting on & discarding several before making a final choice.

I start with a mask by Clinique followed by a long shower. I like to use a sugar scrub -- especially on my elbows and knees. I moisturize and then start on my hair. For a really big night, I like to take a break after I dry and style my hair before I do my make-up -- I relax, put my feet up and think about what I am going to wear. After I put on my make-up and get dressed, I tweak my hair and then I am out the door!

I try to take my time getting ready. I'll wash my hair the night before or in the morning and let it dry fully before styling it. Then I get dressed but usually wear a baggy shirt or zip up jacket over in case of make up fall out. Then I start my make up. After that I'll take the baggy shirt/jacket off and do my hair. Add jewelry, put on lotion, spritz some perfume, make sure I have everything I need in my purse, slip on my shoes and head out the door.

As a general rule i drink plenty of water and eat fresh veggies to keep me energized i also take care of my skin with shower gel and face cleanser on a daily basis, but when i know i have a big night planned i exfoliate the day before as well give my hair a treatment so that it is nice and glossy when i straighten it or curl it(depending on my mood) night of.
I chose my outfit, shoes and accessories i have a multitude of clutches so that probably takes me the longest to chose.
I like Natural looking make up and simple up-do or down. Never leave the house without my lipgloss or powder foundation just for those touch ups during the big night.
*Note if my hair is down i ALWAYS take a lacky with me for when i am dancing the night away and get a little hot. NorthWest AUS is unforgiving with the temperature.

I usually eat a light snack so I don't get muchy while I'm out and then I'll jump in the shower to shave and wash my hair. After that I let my hair air dry out a bit, while I decide what to wear. I also apply mositurizer to both my face before I dry my hair so that it can absorb before applying makeup. After my hair has dried some, I'll blow dry the rest either with a round brush or a paddle brush depending on the look. Usually follow the blow dryer up with hot rollers, a curling iron, or a straightening iron. After that, I apply my make up, usually doing my eyes before foundation so I can clean up any smudges with out messing up my whole face. Then I get dressed, brush my teeth, and I'm out the door. :o)

If i know that im going to have a big night out i usually take a shower in the morning and let my hair do its own thing during the day. I also try not to wear lots of makeup during the day that way i dont feel all dirty and heavy at the end of the work day. When it comes to meals i try to eat healthy through the day that way i dont feel weighed down that night. Right before I go out is usually when i apply my makeup and do my hair, trying to avoid anything that will make my hair greasy or my face feel coated later that night.

I like to dress in skimpy grunge, put my hair up, and relax under a good mud or mint mask (depending on the evening). After, a long hot shower with a citrus based, exfoliating, shower gel. A fresh, all over touch up shave so I feel silkey smooth. I do a good, all over moisturizer, while I'm waiting for full effect of facial moisturizer. Make up depends on what "the big night" plans are. Anything from fresh and natural to full on glam. Then it's dress and do the hair and make up touches to finalize the mood and the look. The entire routine generally accompanied by a lovely glass of wine and music to suit the mood of the night. I'm a night out foreplay girl.....I like to design everything to put myself mentally where I hope the night to be.

I try to get all of my errands, chores, whatever needs to be fixed for any meals all done before noon, then I make sure the outfit I have chosen (hopefully ahead of time!) is ready to wear. I check the Internet for any driving directions we may need and print them out. Then on to checking the menu online, so I have an idea of good food choices I will make! I take a long hot shower, put on lotion and immediately fix my hair. Being prepared & relaxed while I get ready helps me have a good attitude and anticipate the wonderful evening ahead!!

I always take a nice hot shower first and blow dry my hair a little, then I put on my moisturizer and lotions. I like to blast my favorite songs and dance around a bit because that's always fun. I do my makeup, nothing too drastic, then I decide on what I want to wear, depending on the event. I usually play around with a couple of outfits before deciding. Then I slip on my shoes, grab a bag with lip gloss and spray, and I'm out the door!

Most of the time I'm just too busy to worry about nights out before they get there. I might glance in my closet and survey perspective outfits but my usual routine is to grab a shower at the last possible moment, and blow dry my hair(this is as fancy as I get). Once in a while, I'll add a little eyeliner or eyeshadow but not often. It's just another detail I don't have time for most of the time. The hard part is finding an outfit that I like right then. Usaully I rush into a panic of trying on tweleve different possibilities and then finally find one that is just right Grab my favorite purse, and cellphone and I'm set to go. No make up to worry about keep fresh, no fancy hairdos, just having fun!

I usually get ready for a big night out by spending extra time on my hair, which can have a mind of its own! After blow drying and curling it into submission, I also use more make up, Bare Minerals foundation, eyeshadow, eyelinerand lipstick in addition to my normal daily blush and mascara.

When I am getting ready for a big night out, I always wash the day away by exfoliating my face. Then I take a shower and finish off with baby oil right before I get out for extra moisture. I always like to go to the tanning bed before a big night out; too for a nice glow. Then I go home and straighten my hair, and do fresh make up before a night out. Sexy outfit with a few extra accessories, a small handbag, and killer heels & I'm feelin' like a million bucks and ready to go!

For my big night out I get a hot oil treatment on my hair. I make sure my nails and toes are manicured and pedicured. I pick out a nice outfit, shoes and accessories. I make sure my makeup is flawless. I make sure that my lipstick, lipgloss, perfume and compact are in my clutch for just in cases.

I make sure I get enough sleep and drink plenty of water so I am hydrated, rested and able to party to the max! My outfit would have been picked out ahead of time because I never want to be undecided about what to wear at the last minute--no stress!
My make-up is minimal but my eyes and brow are my best assets so I put the emphasis there. I don't wear foundation only mineral powder and blush. My hair is natural so I would make sure to get a new color or highlight. I never leave the house without a nice evening clutch with my favorite lip gloss.

A Mom's idea of getting ready for a big night out:
*A shower without having the toilet flushed by your hubby or son
*At least one outfit in the closet that DOES NOT need to be ironed
*Finding a hair clip that will look stylish while holding damp hair in place because there isn't enough time to dry & style all your hair ( just your bangs )
*Getting your teeth brushed, moisturizer on, and blowdrying your bangs all at the same time
*getting out the door and into the car with shoes on your feet
*grabbing make-up bag in car and finishing the eyeliner, eyeshawdow, & mascara
*looking in the counsel hoping there is a matching pair of earrings that you left in there the last time, bonus if there is a necklace!
*Using that good old color added high gloss lip gloss that makes you look GOOD!
*sitting back for a breather while cranking your tunes
*getting to your spot for your big night and being able to just be you with your hubby
PERFECT night out in my life!

I always start getting ready with a hot shower and some music for mood cranking. Ill then start to do my hair since its my longest task and bad hair can equal a bad night. I give most of my time to that so that i can thouroughly enjoy my next step which is makeup. I take my time being creative with my makeup, feeling out my mood and playing with colors and techniques. I swear if i could i would do my make up over and over, i find it so enjoyable. After that my mood is pretty much set and im good to go with my outfit and a spritz of perfume. Bring on the night

I get ready for a "big night" by bathing and exfoliating with a sugar scrub & shaving, washing and carefully blowing and ironing my hair (which takes forever, LOL), doing the Tooth Whitening Thing, then The Whole Skin Care Routine, followed by The Full Makeup Routine (which takes forever, too, LOL). THEN I get dressed. Hopefully I will have chosen lingerie, clothing, & shoes that actually fit and look good... NOTHING is worse than discovering at the last minute that the Chosen Outfit or shoes don't work...

How do I get ready for a big night out? Get my girls together, turn the music up! And go through each other's outfits and try everything on before of course, returning to the first outfit we tried on. Hair and makeup is done next as we are all pushing and hoggin for the mirror. Straightners, mascara wands, lipsticks and hairspray all over the place. Finally after a couple of hours we are finally ready to head out, vip style!

For a big night out...I start by making a cup of coffee. I like to be pumped and energized. I then take a long hot shower. I pull my hair into a towel to allow it to dry somewhat while I'm applying my nighttime make up. I try all different looks with my eyes. I play them up with black eyeliner and usually use a dark purple shade of eye shadow for a smokey eye look. I then decided if I'm going curly or straight with my hair...Usually straight...so turn on the straightener so it can heat while I'm blow drying my hair with a round brush for maximum volume. Then straighten and add a volumizing hairspray...toss on a hot outfit and go have fun. ;)

The first thing I do is check the whether to make sure that I am not over or under dressed for the occasion. Then I pick out my clothes, dresses are my favorite, and accessories. After that I make sure to give myself plenty of time for a long shower, must make sure those legs are shaved, you never know what the night will bring. One major tip, I always make sure I have a conditioner that comes in with hair color kits for do it yourselfers. They can make the worst of hair look fabulous. After my shower I apply lotion, face creme, make sure feet are smooth, and then it is on to the hair. Dry, straighten or curl, no chemicals! Wait a little while, dress, make-up, always keep it natural, less is more. Shoes, teeth, purse, and out the door.

What do I do to get ready for a big night out? First, I spend a lot of quality time with my 2 young daughters and my husband before taking that rare night out with my friends. Second, I put on a little Aretha Franklin or Abba to put me in the right frame of mind when getting ready. And third, make sure my best jeans and shirt is washed and clean. If those 3 things align, my night will be successful!

I think that the way people see you doesn't have so much to do with how you look, but how you feel, so before I go out I meet up with my sister and we listen to Miranda Lambert as loud as we can at her house while doing our make up and hair.She is such a feel good girl artist! I usually bring several outfit options with me to her house so that we can mix and match until we get just the right combo for each of us and then we head out on the town!

To get ready for a night out I first pick out my outfit including most importantly a 'wow' evening bag and strappy heels. Then I take a long shower. I blow dry my hair then put it in a loose updo. I sweep my face with foundation, then add bronzer and blush. A little highlighter on the brow bones and cheek bones, eye shadow and mascara, high gloss lipstick and I'm ready for a fabulous night out!

A good night's sleep before the big event is critical! So is making sure everything I'm going to need/wear that night is clean and ready to go. I wash my hair in the morning because then my curly hair has the opportunity to relax during the day and it is easier to style later. During the day, I do my nails and give them plenty of time to dry. When it's finally time to really get ready, I take a shower, shave my legs and do an extra careful job putting on makeup. Moisturizer and makeup primer is a must. Lipstick goes on after I'm totally dressed. One last mirror check and then I'm out the door.

I start the day with a homemade body scrub of sugar and honey. Then while giving my feet a nice soak in homemade lavender soak, I give my nails a soak and pick a color to match my outfit. All while having a facial with a cucumber mask. When I brush my hair, I put a touch of body spray on it to give it a nice smell. I also mix a bit of various Avon talcs with a scented lotion and rub it on my skin. It always does the trick for me!

Usually when I get ready it's to go out with all my girlfriends. We usually end up getting ready together, which means by the time we are all ready- my room looks like a tornado hit. I'll get showered and shave and use exfoliating gloves which are absolutely phenomenal for making your skin extra smooth! Then I'll start with my hair- gotta be first b/c you don't want to get all sweaty doing your hair with makeup and your clothes on! Then I'll put on a little make up. I save the clothes for last because it usually takes the longest and if my hair's all done and everything then I know what it'll look like when I'm finished! We all usually try on each others clothes and of course 99.9% of the time when you try on about 20 outfits...you end up wearing the very first one you put on! The one thing I live by- especially getting ready with 10 girls- is that it doesn't matter if they think you look good, because if you're not comfortable in it then you'll be wasting your time worrying once your out. Plus, when your comfortable, your confident- and that's the way every girl should feel when they are going out!!!!

I first pick the most fabulous outfit with matching accessories I have in my closet then I take a long hot steamy shower. After that, I dry my hair and use electrical curlers to style it. Then, I'm ready for putting my make-up on :) With a few tap here, curl there and a little puff here, I'm left with perfect looking skin and face. Then I put on my favorite perfume (I just love the smell of BVLGARI's Rose Essentielle) and then I'm all done and ready to go and have an awesome night .

Before going out for a big event, I try to get as much rest as possible so I feel refreshed. I hate feeling stressed out. Of course in the shower I exfoliate and use a moisterizing body wash and shampoo. I usually use a self tanner as well. I also listen to up-beat music to put me in a party mood. After fixing hair and makeup I would get dressed and take one last look at myself to see if my outfit is appropriate or if I need to take off a piece of jewelry. Take a deep breath and have fun.

I use moistureizer when I go to bed to soften the skin and help slow aging process, when I wake up I shower and use a wonderful smelling bodywash and if I use that I won't use perfume. I then use lotion to moisturizer the skin and again mositurze the face before makeup with a mositurizer that has SPF in it to keep away the suns damaging rays. I then do my makeup and hair and then select my clothes by mood same way I do my perfumes and last I add the jewlery and assessories to compliment the outfit.

Before a big night out, I like to make sure I feel pretty from head to toe! I start out with a mani/pedi and may even splurge on a 10 minute shoulder/back massage at the nail salon. Next I do a 'little shopping' to find that PERFECT OUTFIT or 'going out' top, or dress to make sure I look as special as I want to feel - my motto is Look Good, Feel Good, Do Good!
When I get home I lay out my new outfit and hop in the shower with my IPOD blaring my favoritre songs (loud enough so I can hear them in the shower!). Then I let my hair towel dry while I do my moisturizing routine (that I neglect M-F), using my favorite Bath and Body Works aromatheraphy lotion in Jasmine Vanilla. No need for perfume - this is strong enough to serve as both mositurizer and heavenly scent! Next step: Hair! I blowdry my hair which is nearly dry being up in a towel for a bit, and style with my big round brush (for smooth blow out), then add finishing touches with my Babyliss Large Curling Iron - for lasting waves and curls. Last steps include: Make-up (not too much! just enough! Throw on some fun jewelry, shoes and grab my smallest, cutest purse that can fit my cell, my ID and mints - and I'm off!

If it's a big night out sometimes I like to go shopping for a new top or dress, because it gives me something else to look forward to (it's also a plus if its on sale!) :) Once I'm home I make sure to pluck or wax my eyebrows hours in advance, so I don't have the 'freshly' waxed/plucked eyebrow look going on. Then I like to freshen up my nails with a polish that pairs with my outfit. About 2 hours before I go out, I make sure I have a nice shower with a thorough leg shave and of course brush my teeth. I moisturize my face and body and apply my makeup. I get dressed with all the right accessories and make sure I pack my emergency beauty needs in one of my 'big night out purses', i.e. lip gloss/lip balm, powder, etc. (you girls know the drill!). Lastly, I spritz on a perfume that fits with my mood, flash a quick smile in the mirror to make sure there's no food/lipstick on them and I'm out the door in a big rush. It's okay to be fashionably late though, right? ;)

To get ready for a big night..frist I would make sure I had a good nights sleep the night before. I would pamper myself throughout the day. A wonderful flavored coffee would begin my morning. I would eat right during the day..no extra salty foods or soda's that might affect my waistline that evening. I would put my cell phone on silent and enjoy the afternoon preparing for my evening. I would take a cat-nap during the early evening to be fully rested for my big evening. Next would be a luxurious aromatic bubble-bath, "sitll in the pampering mode". If it was going to be a while before dinner..I would eat a light snack...certainly don't want my stomach growling taking my attention away form the big night. I would take time to moisturize, whiten my teeth, and pick out my favorite perfume. I would take my time applying just the right make-up for the occassion. I don't like to decide what I am wearing for a special occasion at the last minute..so those preparations would be made in advance..totally ready to deck myself out. Then..it would be time to dress and adorn myself with the accessories I had previously decided on..Now..I am rested...ready..pampered..and dressed for the big night..after all..everything begins with attitude!

Whenever I have a big event coming up, I plan ahead. WAY ahead. I usually have in my head what im going to wear, how I am going to do my makeup/hair, etc. But let me tell you... more times than not I change everything last minute. Througout the week I do face masks and do an exfoliator 2 days before the event. Glowy skin is a must!!! I get my eyebrows threaded, and make sure my hair is freshly colored and also deep conditioned for the big event. I always give myself plenty of time to do my makeup and love listening to a mix of my favorite songs while getting ready. (ok I MIGHT dance around a little and sing into the mirror. maybe.) But really, I have learned that the better I feel the more fun I have. As long as I am comfortable and confident in how I look... I will have a blasty blast =)

I like to get in a nap in the early afternoon, shower, then lay on my bed with a cooling facial cloth and prop my feet up... the higher the better. Who wants swollen legs and feet? after 20 to30 min I Crank up the music and start primping....

In order: I take a warm shower, exfoliate with a sugar scrub, shave my legs, and moisturize everywhere. Then while my lotion, etc. is absorbing, I brush my teeth and towel dry my hair and put it in braids. Then I do my makeup and put on my outfit. Then I take my hair out, spray some texturizer in it, blow dry it a bit, and use a straightener to touch it up. Lastly I stick on my glossy black pumps, and I'm ready to go! :)

I wash my hair with my favorite Fructis shampoo + conditioner to make my hair clean and voluminous. I spray on heat protector and leave-in conditioners before my hair dries to make it soft and sleek. I dress in something stylish, but comfortable, before I style my hair or put any makeup on. While my hair air-dries I apply light foundation under my eyes and on my cheeks and nose; just enough to cover up, but not too much so that it will look flaky and fake later in the evening. I then like to put on a little powder foundation to keep the liquid foundation from wearing off. I use soft pencil eyeliner on only the upper rims of my eyelids so that it won't melt or get smudged, making me look tired and worn-out. Smudge-proof L'oreal mascara tops off my look. I also love to listen to fun, upbeat music while I get ready! Some of my favorites are Hawk Nelson and Thousand Foot Crutch. When my hair's done, I'm ready for my night out!

I usually wear something black and slinky, and use color in the accessories as well as my makeup. I love glittery green, purple and grey shadows to play up my green eyes and red hair. I always wear high heels , and love couture shoes with every outfit. This would be fab to win, thanks for the contest.

My hair & makeup are my trademarks, so I make sure to choose an outfit that goes with my "character" for the night (flirty, sexy, diva, retro, etc...). Of course I take a nice shower. I love Chloé's Bath and Body Collection so I start off with the shower gel, then body lotion & finish off with the perfume. The scent makes me feel luxurious. I listen to fun music while getting my MAC makeup done. My hair must be off of my face so that I can dance the night away, so I use Redken's Forceful 23 super strength finishing spray since I live in humid South Florida. I get dressed, accessorize & complete the look with some fabulous heels.

I love planning my outing! The day before I will make sure everything is ready my outfit accessories and shoes. Remembering to drink plenty of water, eating a sensible meal so that I am not bloat and hydrated for the next day! Feeling lean with the touch of a smooth glowing skin is key to looking and feeling your best! Taking my time preparing for my glamourous night feeling no pressure but keeping a smooth schedule always helps!

When I have a big event coming up I make sure to take a long shower the night before, with yummy smelling silky shower gel, shave my legs, exfoliate all over, deep condition my hair, get out and apply my sunless tanner all over to let it soak in over night, brush my teeth, add an extra moisturizer on my face, then get some good sleep. In the morning jump in the shower to rinse off that self tanner smell, then go through my day routine until the evening when I apply a shimmer body lotion, throw on a great outfit, put my hair in an up do with great make-up and my favorite perfume. Ready to GO! :)

To prep for a big night out I start early and take a nice long hot bubble bath to relax and beautify. In the bath I exfoliate all over with body scrub, and I shave legs and underarms. Then I shower and wash and condition my hair. While getting dressed and putting on makeup I listen to some really good "psych-up" music to get me going.

The very first thing I do is make a checklist of everything little thing in advance so that I'm prepared. On the actual day, I carefully plan my time so that I'm not rushed and can take my time. While getting ready, I use all my favorites; big thick hot towels, big thick robe, favorite soaps, shampoos, etc. I can relax and anticipate the event without being rushed and savor the moments!!

I exfoliate my entire body, make sure to shave my legs and arm pits, I wet my hair and apply a deep conditioning treatment, then rinse that out and apply a leave in conditioner. I also give myself a manicure and pedicure by buffing my nails and applying cuticle oil (I put polish on the day of the big event). Before bed, I wash my face and use a peel off mask. Once the mask is removed, I apply a deep moisturizing beta-carotene and pomegranate night cream and make sure to brush and floss (like I do every night).

I go through my closet and figure out what to wear. This usually results in a myriad group of clothes and shoes all over the room until I narrow it down to two or three things. Then I take take a oil based bath the night before because my skin is so dry. Shave, exfoliate, soak.
Body butter after wards. Cleanse my face and use a mask to tighten my pores and get some color in my face. Night fluid on my face after wards.
Next morning, wash and style my hair. Frizzy and dry so i use the dryer sparingly, and let the air do the rest. An hour before I need to leave, I put apply some foundation, set it, and use a sheer bronzer blusher. Eyes get shadow, liner, mascara. Into my outfit, put on the jewelry, one last go over on my hair, some lipstick or gloss (depending on my outfit and look) and I am out the door. Whew!

To get ready for a big night, I actually start the day before, by washing and straightening my hair, second day hair always looks better!! The day before a night out I will also take my time to exfoliate, shave, and do my own nails. I make sure I have a special outfit and accessories picked out that will make me feel comfortable and look sexy. On the big night, will crank up my ipod, shower, moisturize, take extra time with my hair and makeup.

For me, the most important thing to do before a big night out is to make sure that I am well rested and well hydrated. I work out a little extra the week before to get the blood flowing, which seems to add some color and a glow to my skin (face). Before I do anything the day of the event, I first apply teabags to my eyes for about 15 minutes, followed by chilled cucunbers. Finally, I apply a washcloth that I had soaked with ice cold water and put in the freezer for an hous and let it sit until it becomes room temperature. All these things reduce any swelling to the eyes and face as well as get the curculation started, giving my face great collor from better blood circulation and an alertness and slight skin tightening from the caffeine in the tea.
Next, I do a treatment of an exfoliator/peel, using Prescriptive's Instant Gratification. because that will remove any dead skin from your face leaving the skin soft and silky. I follow that with a 15 minute treatment of Skinmedica's hydrating lotion which is absorbed beautifully by the skin after a good exfoliatiation.
Then come the serums and moisturizers, whatever products you personally prefer.
Before applying makeup to the face, but after you've applied your serums and moisturizers, I always apply Urban Decay primer to the eyes and lips, I use and love Prescriptive's primer for the face but also love Stila's Illuminating primer, which definitely lights up the face even when covered with foudation. Apply foundation, blush and eye make up as desired.
My last step is to apply YSL illuminator in #2 to the sides and beneath eyes, on nasal folds, sides of mouth, in the hollows of face just beneath cheekbones and above cheekbones. This will add the finishing touches to your makeup and will definitely brighten your face, masking any issues one might have like lack of sleep or puffiness.
Have a half a glass of wine to unwind and you're good to go for the night.

I wash my hair and deep condition it for extra softness. I make sure to exfoliate everywhere, using a loofah on my body and facial scrub. I moisturize all over with Aveeno or Cetaphil lotion. My trick to having nice-smelling hair is that I put some got2b Smooth Operator Luxury Mousse in it... it smells amazing all night! I spray myself with vanilla body splash from Victoria's Secret. I definitely put some dark black gel eyeliner on, with a bright-colored lipstick.

The night before the big night out, I soak in a hot bubble bath with candles all around the bathroom. This helps me to get an amazing nights rest. When I get up I make sure that I already have my outfit, shoes, and accessories ready. This way there is no rushing when it is time to go. Time has to be on my side, so 2 hours prior to going I was my face with Noxzema blemish control foaming wash and them apply my Freeman facial cucumber peel-off mask. Hair and make up and then get dressed.. taking time is the key to looking your best.

I think I like to take a shower, exfoliate my skin, shave, and then use a self tanner when I am all dry. I don't like to fake and bake like I use to when I was younger, so my skin looks just as good when I use a self tanner. I also exfoliate my face, gently, and add a moisturizer with a self tanner in it, which gives me an all over glow! I don't overdo it with the makeup, since I already have that glow going on, but add mascara, golden or pinkish eye shadow, and a lipgloss. I spritz my hair with a volumizing hair spray, and tease it a bit at the roots. I put on my favorite jeans, that I can roll up at the bottom, put on my heels, and wear a cute top, and am ready to go!

Up here in Maine we do things a little bit differently, if its a night out thats on the horizon then its taking care of the "girls" first. After the hair, and makup is at its finest, and before the stillettos, its knee high rubber boots. Yup, thats right, rubber boots!!! Waiting in the barn is three 1,000lb Quarter Horses. And if you end up sipping cocktails with a piece of hay snagged to your shirt, then brush your shoulder off (literally), I'm a country girl and thats how we do it.

When I get ready to go out first of all I think about what I'll be wearing and that happens before I even start to get ready to go out. By the time I start to get ready I've already planned in my head what it is I'll be wearing and I pretty much have myself in the I'm going out mood. I then take a bath where I relax and shave my legs and just devote time to me. I then usually get up from the tub and take a shower to wash my hair and remove any oils from my bath. When I'm done with the shower I brush my teeth and check my eyebrows(good time to pluck if they need it) I powder myself,put on lotion and then start to put on my makeup. When that is all done I get dressed and check myself out lots of times in lots of different poses in front of the mirror. After I give myself the seal of approval
after all that I am ready to start my night out....

When I have a big night out, I usually like to go shopping for a new top or dress. It always makes that night something more to look forward to :)...The day of I make sure to pluck or wax my eyebrows hours in advance so that I don't end up with the 'freshly waxed/plucked red eyebrows' thing going on. To freshen up my nails I pick a polish that pairs with my outfit. That night I take a long shower with a thorough leg shave (I don't want to miss a spot!) and brush my teeth. After that I decide what to do with my hair, which usually takes me forever, because sometimes my hair doesn't like to cooperate with me! Then I apply my make up and get dressed. I like to do a more dramatic look with my makeup when I'm going out, because normally I don't wear very much makeup, so I like to feel special every once in a while. Once that's done I figure out which accesories look good with my outfit. I then gather up all my emergency beauty needs for the night, i.e. lip gloss/lip balm, powder, mints/gum, etc. (You girls know the drill!). I then pick out a 'going out purse/clutch' of the night and throw all my things inside. Then, I spritz on the perfume I'm feeling for the night, grab a quick glance in the mirror and flash a smile to make sure there's nothing on/in my teeth and I'm out the door in a huge rush. It's okay to be fashionably late though, right? ;)

I like to drink plenty of water and have a good meal. I get my eyebrows waxed at least one day, preferably two days before the event.

I start getting ready about 3 hours before going out, I take a shower, blow dry my hair. I put moisturizer on my face and body, that's very important! Sit on the bed and think about the evening, who I will see, what to wear, how to wear my makeup, smokey eyes, are just natural color eye. I like my eyes, I wear contact, my daughter picked them out for me.
I am a plus size women but i see myself beautiful. I apply my makeup to show my beauty not my size. It is not about being a size 2 or a 20, its how you present youself. When you see me you see the woman that I am not my size. There's one think i would really like to fix and that's my teeth, I love to give people smiles.

for a night out, I get ready very fast. My make-up is very natural but sexy, with smokey ey-shadow, mascara, lip gloss. the style of my hair will depend on my mood, it could be loose with some curls, or straight, or in a fancy ponytail. Y would wear a nice top, colorful or with beads, something to give emphasis to my face , neck and shoulders ( best assets). I would wear jeans or a skirt, it depends on the weather. High heels ,wedges, sandals or boots (something cute but comfortable too).
And I am ready to have fun!! :) the secret is to be yourself, and you'll look your best!

How do I get ready for a big night out? When I get the chance to get away from work, it begins with trying to decide on what to wear, what my hair should look like (if it will do anything at all), and making sure my skin is looking its finest. Unfortunately, I wasn't blessed with the best complexion, so the first two have to be perfect and that takes the majority of my time when getting ready.
Being fashion challenged doesn't help either. Any of the above products alone would be a welcome addition to my ensemble and I hope to win so very badly. Thank you for consideration.

I usually start off with a long shower, followed by some naked stretching to realx my body, then lay out my outfit on the bed while i sit @ my makeup/hair dresser carefully picking out shades of makeup that match best with my outfit. After i'm dressed i'll sing/dance in front of the mirror while i try on jewelry/ accesories/ shoes to pump up my ego/ energy level. Most of the time i'll have a pre-game cocktail while all this is going on, but if i don't have time i'll ususally take a shot right before i leave to loosen me up into the social butterfly i am!
