Ask a hairstylist for their recommendations. What hair color will look best with your skin, or what cut will flatter your features?
Fit your makeup to your outfit. Pairing a red lip with a black dress is always a good move, but dark, heavy eye makeup won’t fit well with a light sundress.
Subscribe to fashion magazines or follow style blogs to stay up to date on the current trends.
Never post photos or statuses referencing alcohol or drugs.
When others try to involve you in gossip, simply say, “From my experience, he’s a wonderful person,” or, “I don’t know her very well, but she seems sweet. ” Keep your comments positive and don’t say anything bad about anyone–it may come back to hurt you if you do!
Get contact information for new acquaintances and treat them to lunch or coffee. When they plan a guest list for their next party, you’ll be at the front of their mind.
Say, “We both look amazing tonight. This needs to be documented,” or “I told myself I’d get one more picture tonight. Are you in?”
Make friends and connections at your college or university. You’ll cross paths with many interesting and well-connected people at school, and those friendships will help you when you start working your way into the social elite. If higher education isn’t a possibility, educate yourself with books, the Internet and through conversation. Information and self-education is easily accessible if you’re persistent.
Take pictures to post online, and throw in a couple good poses for the event photographers, too.
