Black Tie dinner.....


Need help.......

Anyone know what kinda style of dress I should wear for a black tie dinner? I dnt rly like the strapless dresses on me as I always end up looking like a rugby player but it seems I might have to go for one of those?

Also I'd like my make-up done all nice......silly question but can I just walk in to debenhams/boots and get them to do my make up at one of the counters?

I'm rlly stressing now, its a week today and I'm soooooooo not organised, I can see myself not going as I cnt find any clothes??

HELP!!!!

Id go for a pretty strapless one personally. Im pretty sure you can walk into Debenhams and get your make up done, may be better to ask beforehand.

dunno if you mean to pay them to do your make up or a free trial if a free trial-
watch out some of the make up places will do a make up trial for u and do one eye one color and one eye another color just so you cant use it as a freebie for a night out

enjoy

I had this trouble a while ago, I just hate my upper arms so I didn't want a strapless dress and in the end I found a really pretty one from Monsoon with quite short sleeves but still covered the bit I didn't like! I don't think you have to wear strapless at all as long as its appropriate for the occasion.
As for the make up thing, you can walk into boots or debenhams and get it done, I'd be very suprised if they do one eye one colour and one another! Just say that you're interested in their products and they'll do it all for you. Or say that you have the products but you're going out and you'd like them to show you how to make it look good. A teeny weeny white lie never hurt anyone! lol
Have a nice time

How about a cocktail dress with thin straps and perhaps a lightweight shawl over your shoulders?

Boots Bernefit team love to make people up, if you ask them to make you up i'm sure they would, thou it may mean you might have to by a product.
I'm a benefit fan and i've always had them try new things. Its worth finding out

wear something formal but make sure it suits your body shape. If you don't like your shoulders maybe get a dress with short floaty sleeves?
