EASY PROM Makeup Tips: Choose The Right Colors and Have Fun Making Your Prom Look The Best in The Crowd

Prom night is the most awaited incident in high school when you get to party in school with all your school mates for the last time as a class. Once the night is over, you don’t know when and where you will be and if you will ever see those friends again. Thus prom is when everyone wants to look really good, with their best outfits, footwear, accessories and makeup.
Looking good is not at all rocket science, but it does need some sense of judgment. If you wear smokey makeup over a beautiful pink or blue dress, it’s obviously not going to make you look good. Hence there are a few tips which you can follow while putting on your makeup for the prom night. Mentioned below are some such useful prom makeup tips for you, so take a look!

Prom Makeup Ideas

When you decide to wear a particular dress, you will have to decide, what shoes you will wear with it, the accessories to go with it and what you will do with your hair. And once you have decided all this, then think of your prom makeup. It doesn’t have to be the most glamorous but a simple look which will go with the color of your dress and make you look pretty and ladylike. For this reason, we have put together some prom makeup tips which you can follow to help you get ready the pretty way! More on prom hairstyles.

Foundation
To start with these prom makeup tips, first of all, you will need to use a proper base for your makeup. To set that base, use a foundation which matches your skin tone. If you are fair, use a lighter shade of the foundation and if you are on the darker side, use a slightly lighter shade than your skin tone. The reason for this is when you use a lighter shade, the makeup is more accentuated and you look more attractive. Apply the foundation all over the face in a uniform way, specially under the eyes to cover your dark circles. Foundation often covers all the flaws on the face and gives a plain and uniform surface for the application of makeup.

Blush
After the foundation is applied, it’s time for the blush! Use a thick haired makeup brush for this, since the thicker brushes give more volume cover to the face area and spread the blush evenly over the applied area. Put a darker shade of blush on the cheeks as they look lifted up and prominent. Use only those colors and shades of blush which match your skin tone and not a complete contrast, as this may sometimes make you look comical. Blush has a slight shine to itself, so when you apply it, don’t make it too dark. Then even it throughout the face, like on the forehead and the chin, with a slight dash.

Lipsticks
You have to be very careful while choosing a Lipstick or a lip gloss as many a times, you might end up misjudging your look. Use natural and simple colors for your lips. If you have a dark colored dress, go for browns, beige, light pink and purple (depending upon the dress color). But if you are wearing black or red, you can use bright cherry red lipstick as that looks very attractive and fresh. For lighter shaded dress, preferably go with light pinks, orange, peach and light chocolate colors. If the lipstick is brown or red, only then opt for a matte lipstick. Other wise, glossy looks the best.
Eye Makeup
For the finale touch of your prom makeup tips, your eyes should look the best on your face. They are the first things a person looks at and thus you have to leave an impression through them. Hence make sure you are choosing the right colors for your eye shadow. Always apply the eye shadow first and then the liner on the tips of your lashes. This way the effect of the shadow doesn’t go and they look defined. After this, apply your mascara (preferably transparent and waterproof). Curl your lashes and make sure the eye makeup is uniform for both the eyes. If you are wearing a dark and bright dress, the smokey eyes look great.

With those prom makeup tips, I am sure you would look very beautiful and elegant on your special day. Thus, choose the right colors and have fun making your prom look the best in the crowd.
