One of the most important rules for prom is looking good, and feeling sexy. Looking look is about getting all the right elements in place: makeup, dress and hairstyle.
When it comes to finding the right makeup techniques for prom night, it is important to keep in mind that makeup is an art rather than a science. Even so, with some knowledge and a few basic tips, it is possible to create a professional looking makeup job all on your own.
It is of course important to first use a quality foundation. The goal of this foundation is to make the skin look as natural as possible, at the same time as masking some minor flaws and balancing out any uneven skin tones. When applying foundation it is important to avoid leaving any lines around the neck.
Eye makeup is next, and it is important to choose the right colors, those that compliment the color of your dress. Matching the color of your eye makeup to your dress could actually lessen the impact of the dress, so it is best to use contrasting colors. It is a good idea to buy several different shades of eye makeup and try each on with your dress. This will help you choose the perfect color eye makeup for the big night.
The next thing is your eyelashes, it is important to curl the eyelashes before applying mascara. Curling the eyelashes before applying the mascara will help the mascara cling to the eyelashes more effectively, while avoiding clumping and other common problems. And when it comes to eye makeup, including mascara, remember that less is more. It is important to use mascara and eyeliner sparingly in order to attain a more natural look.
Make sure to choose a natural and high quality blush, in a natural color that enhances and accents your cheekbones. The blush should be applied in a sweeping motion along the cheekbones.
Of course lipstick is a big part of any makeup regimen as well, and when it comes to prom night makeup it is best to use lip gloss rather than lipstick. The color should be chosen to compliment your natural skin tone, and the lip gloss should be reapplied as needed as the big night progresses.
Arguably one of the most important thing for looking good for prom is having the right hairstyle. There are so many different prom hairstyles to choose from – updos, half ups, side swept bangs, long and layered…etc. How do you find the best one for you? It’s all about understanding your faceshape and about being comfortable. Different styles do different things for certain face shapes – so find out what hairstyles work best for you so that when the time comes for your big day, you will be ready.
