1. 6 Tips for Perfect
Prom Night Makeup

2. Makeup is a very important part of your prom
night look. Prom is a special night and
therefore your makeup should reflect that.
With a little know how, makeup can take
you from ordinary to extraordinary. Look
enchanting and radiant on your prom night
with these makeup tips.

3. Keep it Simple: At the mere mention of
Prom, many girls assume they need to
layer on the makeup to get that
fashionable, special occasion look. In
reality it's quite the opposite. Keeping
your makeup simple can be the best
way to achieve elegant beauty that will
look great in prom pictures. The best
way to keep it simple is to strike a
balance. If you want to wear vibrant and
elaborate eye makeup, choose a simple
lip stick and vice versa. Simplicity will
leave you looking radiant and refreshed
without looking over done.

4. Moisturize: Moisturizing is the key to
successfully applying makeup for any
occasion. Make it a point to moisturize
in the weeks prior to prom so your skin
will be primed for application.
Moisturized skin will serve and a base
for your makeup and will prevent things
like caked or flakey foundation allowing
for a more even appearance.

5. Look to the Red Carpet: No one does
glamor better than the celebrities on the
red carpet. Not only do they generally
dress in the latest fashions, they also
know (or at least have makeup artists
that know) the tricks of the makeup
trade. Check out celebrity based
magazines and look for makeup
applications that you think would
compliment your dress and your style.
Use these as a guide when applying
your makeup or take them with you if
you a re having it professionally applied.

6. Practice: Don't wait till the day of your
prom to apply your makeup for the firs
time. In the weeks leading up to the
prom practice putting your makeup on
experimenting with different color
combinations and techniques until you
discover what works best for you.

7. Stick with Your Style: The prom is a one
night occasion but that doesn't mean
you need to find a one time style. If you
tend to look better or feel more
comfortable in brown eyeliner don't feel
you need to switch to black for the
prom. The same is true for your eye
shadow and lip color. This doesn't
mean you need to wear the same
makeup you use everyday. Instead, use
your daily makeup as inspiration for
your prom night makeup. Choose colors
that are similar but add a little extra to
your appearance. For example, if you
love a tawny eyeshadow, look for
something in a similar color but with a
shimmer to it. Play up what works best
for you and you will be more than happy
with the end results.

8. Bring the Essentials With You: Even the
best of makeup can get smudged on an
action packed prom night. Take a few
essentials with you to make sure you
don't have a makeup or hair disaster.
Be sure to put these items in your purse
before you set foot out of the house:
lip gloss/ stick
extra bobby pins
small bottle of hair spray
blotting papers
mascara
mini mirror
