Whether you’re planning a romantic date night, or you have friends with your best friends this Valentine’s Day, the occasion calls for looking and feeling at your best. So where do you start with finding the perfect date night lipstick? And when it comes to perfume is subtle and alluring best, or should you make a statement? The truth is, looking great on a date is all about feeling great, so the first thing to keep in mind is to pick something you feel comfortable wearing. If you never wear red lipstick, a first date is not the time to try it, or you’ll feel twice as nervous! But if you’re comfortable wearing a bold pink matte colour, maybe elevate the look and try a gloss (just remember to take it with you for touch ups). Likewise, you might be most comfortable wearing your signature scent on a date night, but it’s also a good opportunity to try something a little stronger and more seductive. Not sure where to start? I’ve picked out five gorgeous date night lipsticks and five date perfumes for you to try on for size.

Love is in the air…
