on you on the big night.
Primping for Prom: a Soft Look vs. an Edgier Look
It's okay to go for a classic look for the prom. It's classic for a reason-it looks flattering on everyone. Starting with your eyes, line the upper and lower lashlines with a moistened deep purple eyeshadow in powder form. Make sure to get from the inside corner to just beyond the outside corner of the lid to form a sleek cat-eye look. Repeat again, only this time, apply dry powder in the same color over lids, and then lightly smudge. Brush a bright pink shadow from the inside of your lid to the center, being careful not to go above the crease. Blend a lavender eyeshadow over your entire lid, sweeping some just beyond the outside corner. Coat top lashes with a volumizing mascara in black to make your peepers really pop. Use a cotton ball to dab a soft pink blush over the apples of your cheeks. Finish up by using an opaque pink lip gloss to make lips glisten.
For those girls not afraid to try something different, apply a soft, cool green eye shadow over your entire lid, from lashline to crease, then swipe on two coats of black mascara. To soften the look, line the inside rim of the lower lashline with a white eye pencil. This look is all about using earthy, natural colors, so create dewy cheeks by using a liquid blush in an apricot shade and apply to the apples of your cheeks. Have your lips subtly match your cheeks by gliding on an apricot-colored lip gloss.
