Makeup That Perfects Your Prom Look

The right makeup always can perfect your prom look!
Just like there is no prom dress that looks magical on every girl, there is no particular makeup look that can be your perfect prom go-to. Simply gravitate toward the makeup look that blends best with your personal style and the vibe you crave to ensure you feel like the belle of the ball.

Sweet&Simple
If you're the type of girl who goes for a subtle, almost natural look, illuminate your features with barely-there makeup. Start by applying brown eye liner along your top lash line to gently define your eyes. Add one coat of black/brown mascara to top lashes only. For a sun-kissed look, sweep a bronzer free of orange tones over the apples of your cheeks. 

Romantic&Retro
Whether you chose a tea-length dress or a cinched-waistline reminiscent of the '50s or '60s, a retro look is just right. Go for a classic black cat eye and soft cheeks and lips. Dip an eyeliner brush into black gel or cream liner and line your top lash line all the way across. At the outermost corner of your eye, angle your brush up at a 45 degree angle toward your temple. Extend the line out just a bit at this angle to create a gentle cat-eye effect. Sweep sheer hot pink blush over the apples of your cheeks -- this universally flattering color will create a baby pink glow when you use a sheer formulation. Apply berry tinted lip balm to your lips and you're done.

Super Smoky Eyes
If you're wearing a neutral dress, reach for a colorful eye shadow, such as cobalt blue or peacock green. With a colorful dress, go neutral but not boring with a metallic dark chocolate or deep silver. Or, if you've chosen a dress in soft color, such as antiqued green, go tonal with a muted green that's a shade darker or lighter than your dress color. Line your inner rims with black liner and apply the shadow to your top eyelid just above your crease. Apply shadow beneath your lower lashes, as well. Finish your eyes with two coats of black mascara on top and bottom lashes. Sweep a bit of sheer blush along your cheeks in a color that matches your lips and swipe on clear lip gloss.
