Pretty For Prom

This year is going so fast and before we know it the most popular event of the year will need to be penciled in your diary…PROM NIGHT!!!

Preparing for your prom night is pretty daunting and you will want originality and glamour the last thing you want is your best friend turning up in the same dress as you!

Your make-up needs to be flawless, you don’t want to turn up looking like a drag-queen on prom night. If you are lucky enough to have a beautician to apply your make-up make sure they do not go overboard on your eyes in smoky grey and cape on to much black mascara and eyeliner, not a pretty look for a prom. If you are going to be applying your make-up yourself go for a more natural look. All you need is a natural base and use concealer to cover up dark circles under your eyes and any blemishes. As you are going to be up on your feet all night dancing I would recommend using a powder to hold your foundation onto your face. On your eyelids use a lavender shade (very 2009!) not only is lavender bang on trend it is also a flattering colour for everyone and add a touch of black mascara to give you longer, fuller lashes. Your cheek colour should be a light pink, start at the apple of your cheeks and blend down giving the effect of striking cheek bones. Don’t forget to leave your house without lipgloss. Lip-gloss will give your lips and sexy look making all the men want to kiss you!

When it comes to prom night your hair plays a major part! Your hair will complete your outfit and has to be looking its best for your night. I would recommend going for an updo as it is a classic look and is ultra elegant. The prettiest updo has to be the pony loop at the back and every hairdresser will now what you mean if you ask for this look. If you want to create the look yourself you need to scrape your hair back with a paddle brush to style the hair into a pony and use hair pins to pin the pony back.

Now the exciting part…your dress! Getting the most beautiful prom dress you can find is vital. Choosing prom dresses is a once-in-a-life time experience so you want to spend time and effort.

Before picking your prom dress make sure you tick these boxes:

Are you going to be able to eat and drink in your dress and also have a good dance?

Will the colour flatter your figure?

Do your accessories match?

Your prom is the opportunity for you to look and feel your best and if your hair and make-up is to perfection your dress needs to be equally as good.

Now all you need to do is find a drop-dead-gorgeous prom date and coordinate there clothes with your outfit!
