Prom Makeup Tips and Tricks

  • If in doubt, mimic the magazines. Look through your favorite Teen publication and copy the look of the young and famous. Your makeup artist can copy the look on you or you can try it yourself before the big night.
  • Apply blush, it’ll give you the virginal flushed look that oh so many women would kill for. If you have a cool complexion then use a rosy colored blush and for warm complexions bronzed blushes look fabulous.
  • The biggest mistake people make when putting on makeup is that they highlight both the eye & the mouth. You need to pick one or the other
  • Use a gloss instead of a lipstick, if possible, – This season it is all about the shine. Any color will do – just make sure that your lip color
    doesn’t wash your face out.
  • Remember not to go overboard by applying a lot of shadow to your eye lids by wearing a deep lipstick – the lashes will say enough.
  • Go in for long fake eyelashes to make your eyes stand out. Black or brown mascara flatters most skin tones.
