Prom Makeup for that Special Night
Easy Prom Makeup Tips to Enhance Your Look
You’ve probably got an idea in mind of how you want to look on the night of your prom. But have you really decided how to apply your prom makeup? Have you practiced? While most girls love to look at makeup, talk about makeup, buy makeup- the combination isn’t always pretty. The night of the prom you’re likely to be jittery and nervous; a bad combination for prom makeup.
Luckily, prom trends for the upcoming 2008 prom season predict a simple, natural face, with just a bit of glamour. And the best part about it is that you can easily create this look with some simple prom makeup tips. Here a few prom makeup ideas that will help you create a gorgeous face for the event of the season.
Natural Beauty and Simplicity Reign in Prom Makeup
When deciding on your makeup plan, consider your hairstyle and dress. You don’t want the color of your dress to clash with your makeup hues. Also, think about your skin tone. Perfecting your skin tone can be almost as important as lipstick and mascara. You may choose to follow the natural Hollywood trend and apply it so subtly that it looks like you are wearing no makeup at all.
If you do- keep this prom makeup tips in mind. If you’re plagued by acne, redness or large start with pores fillers and a concealer to create a smooth surface for your prom makeup. To avoid that “caked” look, only apply foundation on the areas of the skin that have blemishes, or are discolored. It is essential to find a foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly, and blend it smoothly along the jaw-line. The natural and simple look complements prom trends like the silver on black princess dresses.
Its regal elegance and embroidered flared skirt don’t call for more than basic prom makeup. In this case, less is more.
Prom Makeup Tips that add Drama
Hollywood makeup artists recommend that you choose a specific feature to highlight with your prom makeup.
Select your eyes or your mouth. I recommend you pick the feature that you are complimented on most. If you choose to accentuate your lips, you will want to go with a bright color. Reds and dark pinks are favorites for the upcoming prom season.
What if you want to forget the natural look and really play up your eyes for a dramatic presentation on prom night? Smokey eyes are a great look for the prom. Popular on the red-carpet, this look adds depth to the eye; and it’s a great accent with the starlet inspired off-the-shoulder and plunge v-neck lined dresses. Really want to emphasize your eyes? Then go all out. Liner, mascara, shadow, and even false eyelashes can accent a great set of peepers. Black or brown mascara flatters most skin tones and natural shades of shadow such as gold and beige can really make eyes pop.
Prom Makeup for a Festive Touch
There are a few prom makeup suggestions that can add an alluring effect to your look, without compromising that natural glow. If you’re going strapless, dust some shimmer powder on your cheeks and shoulders. Also, try some sparkling silver or gold shadow on your eyelids. As for the lips? Gloss them to a high shine for a glamorous, wet look. One of the best prom makeup suggestions is to look magnificent without going overboard. In other words, be yourself, but just add a bit of dazzle for that special night.
