Whether you decide to go for a colorful smoky eye, bright bold lips or a subtle fresh faced glow your prom makeup is a very important factor in your overall look. Your prom makeup should be youthful, alluring, memorable and most of all, it should be a little reflection of your personality. While the weeks before prom are typically spent searching for the dress and deciding on your hairstyle, this should also be the time when you’re focusing on your skin. Believe it or not prepping your skin for prom night should start a few weeks in advance. It’s important to get yourself into a good skincare routine that includes drinking tons of water and applying a gentle cleanser, a toner and most importantly a moisturizer with SPF, because healthy skin is the perfect base for beautiful makeup. Once you’ve whipped your skin into prom shape it’s time to start thinking about what style of makeup you want to wear. There are quite a few things you can do to make choosing a prom makeup look a little easier, you can watch online tutorials, visit makeup counters and of course take a look at our top three favorite prom makeup trends.
Deep Burgundy Lips
Burgundy has been on the lips of Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, Chanel Iman and Leighton Meester recently and we love how this lips hue adds a touch of sultry drama while meshing perfectly with almost any skin color. This color is one that “pops” so it’s a wise idea to keep the rest of your makeup simple and minimal if you opt for a bold lip hue like this.
Colored Smoky Eye
This is a fresh take on a classic makeup style; the smoky eye is a go to choice for gals who want to draw attention to their eyes. Why not take this look a step further and add a color into the mix, but only one, we suggest choosing the most dominate color in your gown. If you find that the color you’ve chosen is a little on the bright side for you, just mix it with a little dark eye shadow to dim the color a bit.
Natural Fresh Face
This makeup style is timeless and will keep you looking youthful and rested. Basically all you need to do is just keep your look simple with no bold colors, ensure that your foundation is applied flawlessly and make sure that your eye lashes stand out with a few coats of mascara. The fresh faced makeup look goes perfectly with a flowy ethereal gown.
