| How to Approach a Girl in a Group at a Bar Posted: 13 Sep 2021 05:00 PM PDT Approaching a girl who catches your eye at a bar can be intimidating, especially if she looks busy having a great night with a bunch of friends. Of course, you don't want to let that make you miss an opportunity to meet someone who might end up becoming someone special in your life. Anytime you approach a woman, be polite and respectful if she doesn't seem interested in talking to you. More importantly, don't listen to any of the "pickup" advice online—it can steer you in the wrong direction. This list will give you some ideas for how to approach a girl in a group in a healthy, respectful way. [Edit]Make eye contact with her. - This lets her know you might be interested in talking to her. Glance over at the girl and try to make eye contact before you approach her.[1] Don't stare or hold eye contact for too long or it can come across as creepy. Just glance over, make eye contact, maybe flash a little smile, and go back to talking to your friends.[2]
- If you make eye contact and the girl looks uncomfortable or turns her back to you, those are probably signs that she's not interested in talking to you.
[Edit]Walk over and say hi to everyone. - A simple hello is much better than cheesy lines or superficial compliments. Walk up to the group, say "hi," and introduce yourself. Make sure you're saying hello to the whole group and not just zeroing in on the girl you're interested in. Saying hi to everyone may help you make a good impression.[3]
- For example, say something like "Hi ladies, my name is Josh, how's your night going?"
- Always approach a girl from the front so she can see you coming. Coming up from behind is creepy and threatening.
[Edit]Engage everyone in conversation. - You want to win the favor of the whole group, not just the girl you're into. Make sure to keep talking to different people in the group or the group as a whole. If you hyper-focus on just the one girl, her friends might not approve and won't accept you into the group.[4]
- For instance, you could ask everyone to introduce themselves instead of focusing on 1 person.
[Edit]Practice respectful body language. - Show that you're interested without being aggressive. Stand close enough to the group so you look interested and open to a conversation, but not so close that you're violating their personal space. Keep your palms open and your head raised so you look relaxed and approachable, too.[5]
- Try not to cross your arms when you approach—this can make you look closed off.
[Edit]Be confident, not cocky. - There's a fine line between being confident and coming across as a you-know-what. If you're feeling it, you can work an appropriate joke or a nice, non-superficial compliment into the conversation.[6] Just be you and try your best to let your normal personality shine without trying too hard to impress the girl.[7]
- There's no "rule" for how to show confidence. If you're normally a pretty funny person, you might try to make the girl and her friends laugh. Just stay away from topics like politics, religion, etc.
- If you're a naturally more reserved person, you can show confidence simply by carrying on a conversation with the girl.[8]
[Edit]Invite a friend over to the group. - Having a friend there can take some of the pressure off you. They can talk with the girl's friends while you focus on having a conversation with the girl who caught your eye. If your approach seems to be going well, as in the girls aren't ignoring you and seem interested in talking, wave at one of your friends and motion them over to join you and the gang.[9]
- Say something to the group when you do this, like: "Hey you guys should really meet my friend Ben, he's right over there." Then give Ben the signal to come on over!
[Edit]Direct your attention to the girl. - Try to flirt with her in subtle, charming ways. Flash her a smile and continue maintaining eye contact as you talk. Also, try taking up a little more space throughout the conversation—according to some researchers, this is an effective, nonverbal way to flirt.[10] Offering a compliment is another classic option you can try.[11]
- You might say, "You look absolutely stunning tonight" or "I feel so lucky that I was able to bump into you tonight."
[Edit]Ask if you can buy her a drink. - That way, it's clear which girl you're interested in. Politely ask if you can buy her next drink. If she says no, leave it at that and don't push the matter. It's normal for girls to be apprehensive of receiving drinks from strangers because, unfortunately, there are a lot of dirtbags out there who might slip something in their drinks at a bar.[12]
- Try saying something like: "Hey, what are you drinking, a margarita? Can I buy your next round?"
- You can also offer to buy her friends some drinks, too. If they say yes, ask what they want to drink. If they say no, well, you saved some money![13]
[Edit]Try to break away from the group. - If the conversation is going well, break away with the girl to talk 1-on-1. If the bar has activities, like a pool table, darts, or another bar game, ask her if she wants to play with you. Or, if the bar is too loud and you're having a hard time hearing each other, ask if she wants to go to a quieter part of the bar with you and talk.[14]
- For example, you might say something like: "Hey, do you like pool? I just noticed there's a table over there, want to play a match with me?"
- Or, you could say something like: "Hey I really want to keep talking to you but it's hard to hear you right here by the bar, want to go sit at that table over there with me for a bit?"
[Edit]Leave if the interaction feels forced. - It's hard interacting with a group of girls, and sometimes an exit is the best option. If the conversation turns awkward or, even worse, there's just awkward silence, wish the group of girls a good night and leave. If the girl is interested in you, she'll probably look for a way to come talk to you later.[15]
- Remember that not everyone goes out to a bar to meet potential love interests. They might be having a reunion between close friends, celebrating something special, or consoling a friend over a breakup, for example.
- If at any point during the interaction the girl says "no" to something, respect that. If someone says "no," it means "no," plain and simple.

| How to When Do You Put on Concealer Posted: 13 Sep 2021 09:00 AM PDT Are you confused about when to put on concealer, and what products you should apply before and after? Are you just getting started building a makeup routine, or have a feeling you've been doing it wrong all along? We've got the answers for you, so read on to learn all about using concealer! [Edit]Do you apply concealer before or after foundation? - Most makeup artists say to apply foundation first. Foundation is meant to form the base for your look—it evens out your skin and reduces any blemishes or discoloration—so it makes sense to start with it. If you apply concealer first, you might just end up smearing it away from the spots you originally applied it to when you add on foundation![1]
- You can go in with concealer first if you have really dark circles or look tired. After that, you'll still want to apply foundation and if necessary, even another light layer of concealer.
[Edit]Can you wear concealer without foundation? - Yes, if you're going for a more natural, no-makeup look. If you don't have too many spots to cover up and don't want to do a full face of makeup, you can just apply concealer to the spots where you need some extra coverage. This can help your face feel lighter and cut down your makeup routine time.[2]
[Edit]Should concealer be lighter or darker than foundation? - Both, to account for sun exposure and different usages! Daily sun exposure causes your skin tone to shift slightly on a regular basis, so having two shades of concealer handy helps you account for this. Another reason to make sure you have both lighter and darker concealer is that different shades are used for different effects.[3]
- For instance, use a slightly lighter shade for under eye circles or as a highlight for contouring.
[Edit]How do you apply concealer? - Use your fingers to dab or pat concealer on the spots where you need it. Start under your eyes, then around your nose, mouth, and the center of your forehead—these places tend to have more discoloration. Use gentle tapping or stippling motions, rather than smearing or rubbing, to blending your concealer into your skin. Resist the urge to use too much concealer, since this may cause your look to become cakey and less natural.[4]
- If you have more acne-prone skin or other skin conditions, you can cover your whole face with concealer if you need it.
- If needed, you can use a concealer brush or sponge for extra blending.
- Make sure to set your concealer with powder over your entire face after to keep it in place.
[Edit]Do you put on moisturizer before applying makeup? - Yes—use a moisturizer to hydrate your skin so you have a clean canvas. Starting with a clean face before applying any other makeup is important for smoothing out product application. It also keeps your makeup in place with minimal creasing or smudging.[5]
- Apply moisturizer after exfoliating—like after you've washed your face or used a cleanser.
[Edit]Do you need primer before makeup? - Not necessarily—it depends on factors like skin type and the kind of foundation. If you have more sensitive and oily skin, for instance, primer could cause irritation and breakouts. You could also choose to skip primer if you don't need your makeup to last the whole day. Since some functions of moisturizer and primer overlap (both create a barrier to prevent foundation from clogging your pores), you might be able to get away with just using a moisturizer to prepare your skin—but it depends on your desired look.[6]
- Some types of moisturizers are better substitutes for primer than others; others are even designed specifically to double up as primers!
- Some foundations can actually work better without primer, while others might rely on primer to last longer.
- Moisturizer isn't always the perfect substitute for primer, which might have additional effects like mattifying and color correction.
- If you keep your concealer clean and well-sealed, it can last up to a year and half before it needs replacement. You should also replace your concealer if it changes color or begins to smell.[7]
