BOND GIRL STYLE

by Tamsen Fadal

Bond Girl Style is the sexy, sleek, and smart style every woman should know. Feeling your best and looking your best when you date is the ultimate style must. The Bond Girl always gets her James Bond, too, so you'll want to learn her secrets. Here's how to be a Bond Girl on your next date, or at least look one...

Eyes

Bond Girl eyes will make you look alert and wide-awake, even if you’ve spent all day at the office and the last place you want to be is out to dinner with some guy you met at a bar. First, use concealer to cover under-eye circles. Then use a little eyeshadow in a natural shade and smooth it all over the crease of your eyelid. Finally, pick up some false lashes (ones that look natural) at your local drugstore and add a few to the outer corner of your eyes. Viola! Wide awake.

Hair

Guys love long, sleek hair, but don’t try to pull off that look unless it suits you. Feel free to experiment with natural-looking rinses and highlights, and definitely make regular trips to the salon if you have any gray hairs peeking through. Also be sure to get regular trims to get rid of any split ends and keep your ‘do looking fresh. A sexy head of hair will make him go gaga on your first date too, always remember the details!

Skin

Great skin is the ultimate foundation for any great Bond Girl look. Be sure to use high-quality makeup to reduce your risk of breakouts, and don’t cake it on-- wearing too much makeup actually makes you look older. If you have serious skin issues, visit your dermatologist and explore treatment options. Remember to do this before a big date night so your skin won't be sensitive on your evening out.

Lips

To give your mouth that kissable look, put a light gloss over your favorite neutral lip color. You can also explore drugstore lip plumpers, which make your lips look fuller by temporarily swelling the tissue around your mouth.

Teeth

Make regular visits to your dentist a priority. If you can’t afford expensive aesthetic treatments, check out at-home teeth whitening kits, which will cost much less and give you near-professional results. Nothing like flashing those pearly-whites to bring on a stampede of eligible bachelors. . .or just THE one!
