For my last Prom Prep series, I will be talking about the
hair and makeup. Not only is finding a great dress important, but making sure
your hair and makeup complement the dress is equally as important! Different
style and cuts of dresses will need different hairstyles so the dress doesn’t
overpower your face and vice versa.
If you have a low cut dress or a strapless dress, I
recommend leaving your hair down, whether it is curly, wavy, or straight. This
way you can still see the details on the dress but also have voluminous hair to
complement it so there isn’t a lot of bare space showing. If you have a high
collar or a dress with a lot of details, I would recommend putting your hair up
or just pushing it all to the back. If the hair is down on a high collared
dress, it covers the detailing on the dress and we want to see all the beauty
of the dress! If your dress is one shoulder, I recommend either putting it all
up or pushing it all to one side that doesn’t have the strap.
Quite often, many girls schedule someone to do their hair
for prom. If you like doing your hair and feel pretty confident you can do it
well, I recommend just doing your own air for prom! That way you can be sure
you have the hairstyle you want, plus you can save money! If you do decide to
do your own hair for prom, like I am, be sure to practice beforehand so you
know exactly what to do on your special night.
For how you want to do your makeup, that is truly up to you.
If you want to go all out and be dramatic or go simple and sweet, the world is
oyster! But to make sure your makeup looks perfect all night, here are some
makeup products I recommend using:
1)
Any kind of primer will be your best friend.
Primer can allow your makeup to stay on night, especially after all that sweaty
dancing. I swear by all of the Urban Decay Primers, whether it be the Stay All Night
Spray or the Primer Potions, all of their products act like a glue to your face
2)
False eyelashes are something I always use for
special occasions because it can really open your eyes (especially for
pictures!), but since it is only prom, try finding more natural looking lashes
so it just looks like you used great mascara. I recommend any of the Ardell
natural false lashes because they are extremely lightweight so you don’t feel
like you’re wearing any!
3)
Be sure to bring powder with you! You don’t want
to have any oil face all night! With the bright lights from taking pictures and
the dancing, you will be sweaty and gross. So to freshen up, make sure you
bring some powder to matte your face up again.
Hope you enjoyed my prom prep series, I hope your special
night is one you never forget!
