There is no doubt that prom is a very important day in every girl’s life. One of the most important things, to any teenage girl, is knowing that she looks amazing when the night comes. Although your prom dress is one of the most important things when it comes to looking extravagant on the night of prom, two of the other things which you are going to need to think about are your hairstyle and your makeup. Here, we will take a much closer look at some of the things that you will want to consider when it comes to both of these things. Read on to learning some useful tips which could make you look your finest on prom night.
Choosing a Hairstyle
Another one of the most crucial things that you will need to think about is the hairstyle which you will be wearing to prom. It is good to decide beforehand, and to give it at least one practice run with your beautician (or whoever else may be doing it for you), before you decide that you want to wear it to prom. This will ensure that you are going to be completely happy for it on the big night.
The first thing that is going to determine what type of hairstyle you will want to wear to prom is the dress which you have picked out. Until you have found the right dress, you will not be able to choose a hairstyle that will go completely good with it. Although it might depend on your personal opinion of what looks good with your dress, a general rule of thumb is that up-do’s tend to look the best with dresses that have straps, while down-do’s tend to look the best with dresses that have no or very small straps.
Another thing that is going to determine which hairstyle will be the most suitable for you on prom night is the shape of your face. Since people with round faces often tend to look better with longer hair, you might want to opt for a down-do hairstyle, or a half up-half down hairstyle. If you have an oval shaped face, wearing an up-do will make you look more elegant, so you might want to consider doing so. If you have a square shaped face, hair that reaches your chin tends to be flattering, so you might want to consider wearing some of your hair loose on the sides if you are going to opt for an up-do.
If you are not sure what type of hairstyle you are interested in, you should consider asking your beautician what he or she thinks would suit you best.
Applying Eye Makeup
Since eyes are the window to the soul, choosing the right eye makeup can be very important. While many girls automatically assume that you should match your eye shadow to your dress, the truth is that this is not always the case. One of the main things that you are going to need to take into consideration is what the color of your eyes are. Typically, if you have green eyes, your best eye shadow color “matches” are purple, dark brown and smoky gray. Blue eyes tend to go the best with light colors- including purple, blue and white. People with brown eyes often look the best with eye shadow that is copper, light brown, and even green.
Another thing that you are going to need to take into consideration is how much eyeliner you want to apply. Although you might normally use a lot, chances are that you probably will not want to overdo the eyeliner on prom night. Most people will recommend you to use very little, if you should decide to use any eyeliner at all.
Whether you decide to apply your own eye makeup or if you choose to visit a beautician, these are just some of the things that you will want to take into consideration.
Applying the Rest of Your Makeup
Aside from eye makeup, you are also going to need to think about the rest of your makeup. There are a variety of different other types which you will need to consider that can have a huge effect on how you look, including your lip makeup, concealor and blush.
When you decide to choose what you will wear on your lips, chances are that you will not want to overdo it. Going soft is the best idea, for anybody. What does this mean? Well, you can either decide that you want to wear a very light colored shade of lipstick, such as light pink, light brown or light peach. For some people, however, sometimes the thought of wearing lipstick is not always very appealing. If you want, you can also opt for a clear or light colored lip gloss instead.
One of the most important things when it comes to applying concealor is that you want to make sure that you choose the shade that is closest to your skin color as possible. Otherwise, you will end up looking orange or as though your makeup is caked on. If you cannot find a color which is identical to your skin color, you can decide to opt for a shade lighter or darker. When you blend your concealor, make sure that you blend it in well – especially around your neckline and your hairline. If you do not, you will look like you are wearing a mask.
Last, but not least, you are going to want to consider the color of blush that you decide to choose. Once again, like any other type of makeup that you apply, you will want to make sure that your blush looks natural. What this often means for most people is a soft shade of pink or even a peachy color. You should never apply red blush, even though you may be able to pull it off. Looking natural is key and you cannot do this when you wear shockingly red blush.
As you can see, there are a variety of different things that you will want to take into consideration for prom night, apart from wearing the right prom dress. Each of these things are very important in their own way, and all will help you look the best during the night of your prom.
