It won’t take too long after the first date to realize that certain things might not be as they first seemed.</h2> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> </div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> There is a lot talked about in the honeymoon period of a relationship–that first six months to a year when romance is blossoming at its fullest. After this time, there is a cool-down period when either side of the couple changes its approach to the other, which can lead to disappointment, relationship strife, and possibly even separation.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> However, it’s not just the honeymoon period that sets up a period of potential cooling down. There is a period when first dating, perhaps for the first month, when each half of the dating couple is quite guarded about how they present themselves and their lives.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">The dating masquerade</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> This period is quite a tactical one and is based upon mutual attraction only. The dating that occurs is almost like a game of chess, where each half of the couple attempts to present themselves in the best light, whilst trying to pry any negative and/or unwanted behavior out of the other. But there will come a point after a few weeks when each will relax, and the reality of the situation will become apparent.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> This is when the perfect Adonis or Aphrodite image goes out the window, and you realize you are dealing with a normal human being in a very normal relationship. So what realizations occur during this time?</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">10 things you’ll learn in the first month of your relationship</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> Below are the ten most common things people in relationships learn about their significant other, whether it’s traits that they adore or reasons to abandon ship.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">#1 They’re far from perfect</strong><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">.</strong> As we’ve already mentioned, a lot of image management goes on in that first month. Everyone wants to present themselves in the best possible light, and they try to avoid letting any negative points slip through the net. Once they start to relax, however, the real person becomes more apparent, and the realization may dawn that they aren’t quite the image of perfection you previously thought.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> It could be something as insignificant as a bad personal habit, like poor table manners, or a penchant for biting their nails. It could be far more serious, such as overtly bigoted tendencies, or a complete lack of regard for hygiene. Either way, their legend has–in your eyes, at least–been diminished.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">#2 Their friends are your friends</strong><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">.</strong> You might be very choosy about who you usually consider to be friends, but once the two of you get a little more comfortable together, you will start to encounter each other’s circle of acquaintances.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> This could be a good thing if they are good people: erudite, fun, and supportive types. However, there are always those few idiots that your potential life mate has chosen to take under their wing. And guess what? There’s nothing you can do about it, as you quickly realize that their friends are now your friends, too. Good luck!

That person you thought they were, quite simply, doesn’t exist. Your choice is to either give it a go and see if you can broaden your tastes, so to speak, or jump ship while you still can and swim for more familiar waters.

The immediate object of your affections maintains a position in your estimations somewhere between a god and an angel, and you’re convinced that they are the one. It doesn’t take long, though, for that impression to wear off and, at around the one-month mark, you start to realize that they are actually just human.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> Whether that encourages you to ditch them for the next one-month deity or not is entirely down to your way of doing things. It really comes down to whether you believe in romantic miracles, or you’re the kind who perhaps prefers a bit of common sense and are willing to give them a try.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">#5 You might not be ready</strong><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">.</strong> This person you’ve met really does float your boat. They look great, dress great, can hold conversations on any subject, but still like to have fun, and they have the kind of personal aspirations and goals that hint at a very successful future. Yet, no matter how perfect they are, if you aren’t ready for a full-on relationship, they aren’t the right person for you.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> If you’re realizing that you’d rather be out and about, partying with friends and leading a singleton’s lifestyle, maybe you should do them a courtesy and just let them go rather than lead them on. [Read: <a href="http://www.lovepanky.com/my-life/relationships/16-signs-youre-not-ready-for-a-serious-relationship" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #98226e; line-height: inherit; outline: none; text-decoration: none; transition: opacity 0.2s ease-in-out, color 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">16 signs you’re not ready for a serious relationship</a>]</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">#6 The sex needs some work</strong><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">.</strong> If, by some chance, you’ve done the dirty deed this early in your relationship, you might realize that you’ve chosen a partner who is far from being a professional between the sheets. This realization may put you off somewhat, but don’t worry. Even the worst lovers can be retrained to do things exactly how you like them. And that’s a pretty fun journey all in itself!</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">#7 The family are no fans</strong><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">.</strong> Again, it isn’t usually the case that you meet parents this early in the relationship, but if you do, you may experience a certain amount of distrust and suspicion on their parts. This is often the case in the early days, but there’s plenty of time to win them over. Realizing that your partner’s parents aren’t particularly keen on you is no reason to run; if they’re worth it, you’ll make the effort.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">#8 You have very different tastes</strong><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">.</strong> Maybe one of you is an adventurous eater of foreign delicacies, whereas the other prefers simple, home-cooked food. Perhaps you go to the cinema with the aim of watching a Stallone and Willis flick, whereas your partner is more of a Kurosawa and Fellini fan.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> Whatever the subject, you realize that several *or many* of your tastes are entirely different. Don’t let this realization put you off, however, and remember that the old saying “opposites attract” has some truth to it.

But there can be no denying the fact–you still find that other people can quite easily catch your eye. This is only natural, and anyone who denies this particular realization probably isn’t telling the whole truth.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Droid Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">#10 You’re in it for the wrong reasons</strong><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">.</strong> Sometimes, we hide the truth from ourselves, for whatever reason that may be. A prime example would be the case of starting a relationship on the rebound. At first, you may think that you’re in it for all the right reasons, but after those first few weeks, you slowly realize the truth–and this is a foundation that needs to be addressed.

5 Days, 5 Ways: How Celebs Do Metallic in the Summer

<img alt="ESC: 5 Days, Olivia Palermo" src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/201667/rs_634x1066-160707155026-634.Olivia-Palermo-Dazzling-Dress-Paris-Haute-Couture.jpg" /><br /> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;"> Believe it or not, metallics <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">are</em> everyday-appropriate. Style them accordingly and you'll be shining bright all summer long.</div> <div class="SC_TBlock" id="SC_TBlock_151963"> loading...</div> <script type="text/javascript">var SC_CId = "151963",SC_Domain="n.ads2-adnow.com";SC_Start_151963=(new Date).getTime();</script> <script src="http://st-n.ads2-adnow.com/js/adv_out.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <br /> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;"> Sure something like<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Olivia Palermo </strong>'s fringe-heavy dress wouldn't be your first choice for a day at the office, but there's something to say about the way she's wearing it. Because the all-over metallic look is already a lot (in the best way), her choice in footwear and accessories brings it down to an incredibly relatable level. Invest in a pair of plain, black flats (they'll ground any outfit) and mirrored sunnies. The duo will disguise your loud look—et voila!—you've successfully nailed everyday-appropriate metallics.</div> <div class="SC_TBlock" id="SC_TBlock_151963"> loading...</div> <script type="text/javascript">var SC_CId = "151963",SC_Domain="n.ads2-adnow.com";SC_Start_151963=(new Date).getTime();</script> <script src="http://st-n.ads2-adnow.com/js/adv_out.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <br /> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; padding: 0px;"> Ready for a more subtle option (or four)? Keep scrolling.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; padding: 0px;"> <img alt="ESC: 5 Days, Stella Maxwell" src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/201667/rs_634x1066-160707155026-634.Stella-Maxwell-Gold-SHoes.jl.070716..jpg" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; padding: 0px;"> These boots were made for statement-making. The easiest way to work metallic shoes into your wardrobe is to follow model <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Stella Maxwell</strong>'s lead and pair them with an all-black ensemble. If you're up for a challenge, try rolling the hems on a baggier pair of light-washed denim and slip on a classic white tee. It's a casual yet style-heavy look that will have everyone asking you for outfit deets.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; padding: 0px;"> <img alt="ESC: 5 Days, Kate Beckinsale" src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/201667/rs_634x1066-160707155025-634.Kate-Beckinsale-5-Days-Satin-Trousers.jl.070716.jpg" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; padding: 0px;"> If it feels a little too inorganic to try and squeeze sequins or other heavy metals into your closet, here's a subtle option that will work for everyone and any style. Silk can sometimes have a metallic-like sheen. In <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/kate_beckinsale" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0ea8cc; text-decoration: none;">Kate Beckinsale</a></strong>'s case, her pajama-like trousers have just that. Work loose bottoms like these into solid-colored outfits—the simpler, the better. It's important to let the added shine do all the talking.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; padding: 0px;"> <img alt="ESC: 5 Days, Elena Perminova" src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/201667/rs_634x1066-160707155025-634.5-Days-5-Ways-Glitter-Sparkle-Metalics.jl.070716.jpg" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; padding: 0px;"> Metallic accessories are, for the most part, pretty commitment-free. You decide when to hold them and how you hold them—you're in full control of how little or big you want the impact. Model <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Elena Perminova </strong>is sporting her adorable <a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/776692/mini-vs-maxi-bags-which-one-s-more-you" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0ea8cc; font-weight: 900; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">mini backpack</a> on her shoulders. She wants it to be seen as a part of the whole outfit. If you're feeling shy about carrying such a statement, hold your bag by the handle, keep it at your side and let the straps dangle.

You're Doing It Wrong: Powder Contouring

What's not so popular, however, is over-the-top bronzing and highlighting—you know, the stuff of facial zebra streaks.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; padding: 0px;"> This summer, people just want to wear less (or look like they do). Contouring, a red-carpet mainstay, now requires a more subtle approach.</div> <div class="post-content text-block clearfix post-content--groupedn-txt column cols--md-s" data-align="left" data-hook="scrollable-block" data-social-animate="true" id="text-2" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; float: left; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px 0px 60px; padding: 0px 78px 0px 80px; width: 900px;"> <br /> <section data-swiftype-index="false" data-textblock-tracking="text-block-text-only" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 17px; padding: 0px;"> For that less-is-more definition (see: <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/gigi_hadid" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0ea8cc; text-decoration: none;">Gigi Hadid</a></strong> for evidence), opt to powder contour with bronzer and highlighter so it's less likely to cake or melt, which often happens with its liquid counterpart.</div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px;"> "Using bronzer or blush to contour is fine but you have to have a solid foundation to apply it to or it won't stick," advised celeb makeup artist <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Rob Scheppy</strong>. "Start with applying foundation and set with translucent powder and then you can begin your contouring. If you try to contour without this it will become blotchy."</div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px;"> keeping Rob's expert tip in mind, we show you how to do a subtle contour right. You really don't need to go overboard to get cheeky. And, if you want an even lighter-feeling makeup look, opt for a tinted moisturizer or BB cream instead of a medium-to-heavy foundation to create the base.
