10 Prom Make Up Tips ...

Prom is so exciting! I remember planning my prom dress, my hair, my jewelry … the hardest thing to plan – even harder than your prom date i think – though, is make up! Do you choose smoky eyes or bright lips or go with a bold eye makeup? It’s a mine field! I’ve gathered my favourite prom make up tips to ensure you look like a star in your photos!

1. Pick your eyes or your mouth

Make up products needed: Red and pink lipsticks, mascara, eye liner, eye shadow, false eyelashes, lip gloss
Tools needed: Mirror, eyebrow tweezers, eyelash curlers
Practice for best results: None!
Clear your diary for an hour, and wash your face. Then apply your eye makeup really carefully, and keep your lips understated with a clear gloss. If you aren’t sure on eye makeup colour, choose your favourite at the moment, since you can always change it later! Then take a picture. Wipe your face, and give it five minutes to dry and calm down. Then apply minimal eye makeup, and focus on your lips. Avoid brown lipstick, and try different pinks and reds. Take a picture again! Use these to decide whether you want to focus on your eyes or your lips, and to choose colours!

    Help! I don’t know what to do with my make up. The prom theme is masquerade and I was thinking of going with the red lips and winged eyeliner. But I don’t know! My dress ... See more is black, one shoulder and has a ruffled/bubble skirt to it. Any suggestions?

    Alright I am going to prom this year and I need help! I already have a beautiful dress. It is a long, light purple dress with a sweet heart neckline. It has some ... See more embelishment. My problem is I don’t know what to do with my hair or makeup. I have naturally curly brown hair that is medium length. I’m not a very fussy type of girl so I don’t really want a big updo. As for makeup, I don’t wear any normally and have a very limited supply. I would like something that is easy to do. Do you have any sugestions?

      Yes, prom is VERY big here in the U.S. in my opinion, it’s all about spending money, all the girls go out and buy REALLY expensive dresses, and all the guys go out and rent ... See more suits.

      I have 1 question though; Why do we BUY and they RENT??? It’s not fair!

      Well, I guess so our daughters can use it??

      Hey Beester,

    When it comes to doing makeup for something like prom it is really important to pick either the eyes or the lips. If one’s eye makeup is done really well she should go soft on ... See more the lips so people appreciate those eyes.

    Rosy cheeks and red lipstick is another wonderful idea.

    Whatever people pick they should stick to long lasting water proof makeup because of all the dancings!

      Hey Fatima,
      the waterproof makeup tip is actually a great one. It does help a great deal if after dancing and sweating you don’t start resembling zombies :P
      And as for the eye or lips ... See more – i do hope a lot of the girls read this and realise that.

      When somebody talks about Prom I’m always thinking about what I’ve seen in the American movies, limousines, girls making a big fuss about it, princess dresses, the night when they loose their virginity ( I ... See more think this is not updated yet)….here we do make a party at the end of the high school or we choose to go on a 2-3 days trip with the whole class :)It’s always fun

      Hey Tavia,
      I think movies and nowadays blogs (and a couple of friends for me too) have been my source of prom information too.. though the 2-3 day long trip does sound like fun!

    I stay by the firm belief that nothing beats good skin. I mean, no one can help their skin status especially in teen/college years but it’s definitely a plus. I’m not big on hot hot ... See more red lips because I love playing around more with eye makeup. Nothing can beat a good mascara and flawless smoky eye for prom night! A little glitter never hurt either but not too much -just a hint of sparkle! :)

      Hey Theo,
      as much as i agree that no makeup is a substitute for good skin, sadly (as you mentioned) it isn’t often in our hands – specially in the teen years – to make ... See more sure we have good skin. Oh and the glitter – totally agree. A dash of glitter is great!

    I’m embarrassed because I’m a guy, but NEED YOUR ADVICE!!!
    My girlfriend wants me to help her pick out a dress for our prom. She asks me what looks the cutest, But I think everything ... See more looks cute on her! I really don’t know what to say when she comes out with the most expensive dress there is!!! I told her maybe she needs her mom’s opinion, but she really wants me there! What do I tell her??

      Hey Crazy8Man,
      Don’t worry hun, you’re not the first clueless guy to get stuck with a girl. If you really don’t want to go shopping with her, it’s up to you to convince her. Maybe ... See more you could take her best-friend along too if you do end up going. And if you do go, I think there are a couple of things you can do to help you decide what dress looks the best on her.
      a – if there is a dress that you just KNOW she looks the hottest/cutest in, then that’s it
      b – take pictures of all the dresses she tries on. Once she’s done trying them out, compare the pictures and decide
      c – Remember, the key in this is – the first thing you notice about her when she firsts walks out of the trial room is the key here. If you notice her legs, then the dress brings attention to her legs. Similarly for the tummy, breasts, hands (guys seem to have the toughest time getting the hands), etc
      d – If a particular dress highlights something about her/her body, keep that in mind. If you notice something good about her in the dress, it’s definitely shortlisted. On the other hand, if the dress makes it look like she’s got a big tummy/fat thighs/etc, that’s most definitely a no!

      Hope those points help.
