    Dare #1: Try a cat-eye

    If you haven’t already jumped on the cat-eye bandwagon, we’re here to tell you that you need to try it. There’s something seriously amazing about this look paired with a party dress. If you’re ahead of the game and already rock this fab look, try a bold color like cobalt blue or purple.

    Dare #2: Chop your hair off

    Having long hair is fun and all, but wouldn’t it feel great to take that leap you’ve been thinking about for months and just make the snip? Be sure to bookmark some hairspo before heading into the salon. If short hair is too much of a change, try out some bangs. Side-swept fringe is always super flattering and adorable with a messy bun.

    Dare #3: Don’t straighten strands

    If you’re the girl who turns up the heat and fries her hair until it’s stick-straight, give it a rest. Your tresses will thank you—trust us. Put down the hair tools and give your locks a quenching mask treatment. Let them air dry or braid when wet for super pretty natural waves. The improvement of texture and shine will blow your mind!

    Dare #4: Wear bold eye shadow

    Quit it already with the same old eyeliner look. Stop by your local drugstore and snag a palette or eye shadow trio you wouldn’t normally choose, like blue tones or purples. We bet everyone will compliment your exciting new look, but remember to keep the rest of your face relatively simple.
