Don’t overstep yourself. If you’re not comfortable walking in heels, work your way up to them, rather than going straight to 6-inch heels. Use a blow drier to mold plastic shoes to the shape of your feet. Soften the plastic with the warm air, and slip the shoe on when it is pliable but not hot. Use your hands to gently mold it to your foot, and let it cool. Look for the most comfortable heels you can find. Heels are by nature not the most comfortable shoes in the world, but your feet will thank you if you keep comfort in mind as you shop.
Neon colors and lace are always good choices. Not many real strippers wear G-strings, because many state laws require a certain amount of skin to be covered. Of course, no one is going to call you on that if you’re just dressing up for fun. Erotic dancewear, which is more durable and flexible than underwear or bathing suit bottoms, can be purchased from websites like Spurst, BodyKandi, or Yandy. Incorporate your personal taste—wear what makes you feel sexy!
Fit: The biggest priority is to pick something flattering. Tight-fitting things are great, as are low-cut tops, and short bottoms. Color: Neon colors are always popular, and black or red can be very dramatic. You should of course take into consideration which colors look best with your skin tone and hair color. If you really plan on stripping in a club, avoid white. Most strip clubs have black lights, and white clothing can be problematic. Fabric: Distressed denim is a classic, whether you’re wearing Daisy Dukes or a denim miniskirt. Jersey, lycra, or other fabrics that allow you to move without restriction will make dancing easier. You might also consider wearing something see-through. Style: Dresses are the most natural choice, as they are easiest to remove quickly. You might also consider wearing a low-cut shirt with a miniskirt, leggings and a crop top, shorts and a bikini top, or a leotard with a garter belt and garters, if you’re looking for a more burlesque look.

Piercings can be fun, as long as they don’t get in the way. Consider getting one in your navel or nose. Studs or very small hoops will be the least likely to get caught on things. Glitter adds sparkle to you look without adding clunky jewelry. [2] X Research source Hair extensions will let you flip your hair around in a sexy way.

Fishnet stockings are a sexy classic.
Dark, smoky eyeshadow Cat eyes Thick mascara, or fake eyelashes[7] X Research source Thin, highly arched, penciled eyebrows Glossy lips Liberal layers of foundation and concealer to hide any flaws in your skin (consider applying these to your body as well as your face—one thing that sets strippers’ beauty routine apart from that of other women is the extent to which they apply makeup to their bodies)
If you do have facial hair, use an eyebrow pencil to give it definition. Apply a neutral foundation under your cheekbones to exaggerate their shape. Line your lips with a neutral foundation. You may also want to apply some lip balm to keep them from drying out. Brown eyeliner can make your eyelashes appear thicker. Stop before you get to the corners of your eyes—if the lines meet, the effect will be too obvious. Lightly mist yourself with a glitter spray to draw eyes to your muscles.
To get extra smooth skin, exfoliate your body before shaving. Remember, when shaving your legs, shave against the grain; when shaving your bikini zone, shave with the grain. You will probably want to keep your bikini zone close to hairless, so it may be better to skip shaving and get it professionally waxed. A little oil goes a long way. Don’t use too much.
Wash your hands first. You can’t get your face clean with dirty fingers. [12] X Research source Use makeup remover to ensure you skin is totally clear. [13] X Research source Exfoliate gently. Scrubbing aggressively can damage your skin, rather than cleaning it. [14] X Research source Rinse with warm water. [15] X Research source Dry your face with a clean towel.

Wear perfume. Find something subtle and sweet. Most importantly, it should be something you like. You’ll be inhaling more of it than anyone else, after all. That said, pay attention to people’s responses. If you get a lot of wrinkled noses, retire that perfume. If you are allergic to perfume, or just plain don’t like it, moisturizing with coconut oil and washing your face with a fragrant soap will give you a more subtle sweet smell. [18] X Research source Make sure not to overdo it with the scents, as this can be incredibly off-putting. [19] X Research source
Leave it to a professional. Unless you are very good at doing your own, go out and have a professional work on your nails. Remember your feet. This is especially important if you wear open-toe shoes. Treat yourself to a pedicure every so often. If you are a real stripper, however, make sure not to let them remove the callouses on your feet—you need them! You don’t need to go crazy; you don’t want your nails to be a distraction. A neutral color with French tips will do just fine.
