I'm going over to have dinner with my boyfriend's family and I want to make a good impression. So far, I blowdried my hair with volumizing mousse, so it's dry and pouffy. Where do I go from here? I need a classy put-together look...please help! Also, what should I do with my makeup...PS> i have dark brown hair and eyes, medium skin tone, and shoulder length hair.

keep to a natural look - not too heavy, smile and be polite.

If I have gotten to you in time, a cute way to style your hair would be to make one of those little poufs in the very front(take the front section of gather it together and then push it forward a little and secure with a bobbypin) the take the rest of your hair and pull it up to a high pony. Do not make you hair into a full pony, but make a sort of floppy bun in the back then pull certain pieces out and spray the heck out of it. This will be very cute and sophisticated.
Now onto makeup. Brown eyes look good with a lavender eyeshadow. Use a light base for the entire eyelid and a light shimmery color on the browbones. Use a slanted brush or applicator and use the darkest shade and apply to the outer corner of the eyes and blend. Line eyes with a darker liner and line the bottom of the eyes too. Then 2 coats of great mascara and you are beautiful.

Straighten it, maybe pull it back, a ponytail might be to casual.. maybe half up half down or just some side clips.. DO NOT HAVE IT IN YOUR FACE!!!!! Keep makeup simple with neutral colors. Even if a mom wears a lot they will immediately notice if you do. Show off your features but reamember you should not try to make them thing you look good, you're going for respectable (which should really be the same but is often not!) Keep earrings simple and classic.

A French twist is always classy...pretty hard to do if you've never done one before though. They have combs you can use that take all the effort out of achieving a french twist, but again, if you haven't experimented with one, then don't start now.

Maybe you can french braid instead (starting at your crown), and tuck the end underneath at the nape. This would end up looking smooth and sleek...a look that is always sophisticated.
Or you could use your curling iron and just turn the ends of your hair under. This would also give you a sophisticated look, if you can get your hair to behave (with hairspray).

Step 5 Finishing creme by John Frieda, it's AWESOME. Gets the frizziness down while leaving the volume. Looks very sleek without looking oily. Great, great stuff. You can get it at any drugstore, supermarket, etc.
A loose french braid is really classy.
Smoky brown eyeliner, go light on the shadow. I also really recommend the long-lasting new lipsticks like Outlast. (I never want to go back to the kind that comes off, now that I've tried them!) Since it's his family, maybe only a medium color, slightly darker than your natural lip tone.

Less is more...just some basic foundation and a little powder, a thin under liner and earth tone eye makeup with black mascara; leave your hair down and wear a nice pair of classy, dangling earrings;

I would say put some BIG curls in it, let in just hang so that its natural, if the curls don't turn out right just put it half up with a clip. Make-up very natural-browns, and tans, maybe a pale pink for shadow blend with a tan color right below the brow. you'll be gorgeous. Good luck!

Put it in a nice classy ponytail, that way when your eating it won't go up all in your face and don't put too much make-up, keep everything nice and classy, and for cloths, well you know what to wear. Good luck and have fun.

Part your hair on the side and wear it in a low ponytail. Wear light pink lips w/ pale beige shadow with dark liner and mascara. Elegant and pretty.

Rastaman da hair expert is here: go witha high poofy ponytail, like one of the above posters said.
But most important: RELAX, woman, you are beautiful no matter what. You'll do fine
