Tips and Tricks // Perfect Prom Makeup!

It's prom season and everyone wants to look great for the pictures, (you know your mum will be showing them to everyone for at least the next year!) so here are my tips on looking prom perfect.


First things first you want to make sure your skin is the best it can be so you have a nice base for your makeup! So in the weeks running up to your prom start doing deep cleanses, face masks and cleansing your face everyday. Products like Elemis Melting Cleansing Gel (£28.50) and the No.7 Skin care ranges are great!

For foundation and Primer you want to find some with no SPF in them to avoid the white cast you can get in flash photography, so products like Mac face and Body (£28.50), though it is quite sheer, you can built it up, or just conceal the areas you need more coverage, and it leaves a lovely finish to the skin. Also Nars Sheer Glow looks great in pictures (£30.50), the best primer that I've used it Smashbox Photo Finish Primer (£25.00), it creates a lovely smooth base for you to work on and isn't geared towards a certain skin type.


Another thing is to not close up your eyes, so I wouldn't recommend using a black eyeliner on your water line as that will close up your eyes, an alternative for this is using white eyeliner and that will open up your eyes and make them look bigger. I love the white eyeliner by MUA (£1.00) and it so cheap! I set it with a light eyeshadow to keep it on my water liner longer.

Lashes are also a good way to open uo your eyes and draw a lot of focus to them, for the most natural look individual lashes are your best bet but for more of a dramatic look strip lashes are great and their are loads of different styles to choose from, some of my favourites include Ardell Demi Wispies (obviously!) (£4.99) and Katy Perry Oh Honey Lashes (£4.69), both are quite natural but just add the right amount of length and volume and I love them!


Lips can make or break a look so, for prom I'd go for a pinky/nude! That way you can tell you have colour on your lips it finishes off a look if you make your lips look perfect with lip liner and really define the outer edges to they look clean, and with a lighter colour you don't have to worry about fading!

However sometimes a red lip is just the thing to finish off a look so, if red is what you're going for then I would recommend using a lip liner and a matte finish such as Ruby Woo by mac (£15.50), I know a lot of people hate how this feels on the lips but it lasts for ages which is really important for prom as you're going to be having a lot of pictures taken and don't want to be worrying about what your lipstick is getting up to!

To finish off I would use a powder, I like mac mineralise skin finish natural, but just use whatever is your favourite. This will keep your make lasting longer and make sure you're makeup doesn't look shiny in pictures!

Thanks for reading I hope this helped, and if its your prom I hope you have a fabulous time! :)
