For the gal who wants to capture the beauty of a Hollywood
starlet, a sexy and glamorous palette is a necessity. To create a sexy siren look, follow these tips:

* Eyes: Apply a nude or ivory eye shadow
allover eyelid.

* Liner: With a steady hand, draw a sweeping cat eye from rim to rim. For more information on how to create this look, check out our cat eye makeup article.

* Mascara: Curl eyelashes and apply several coats of jet black mascara.

* Lips: Plump lips with a lip plumping product such as Too Faced Lip Injection in Techno Kiss.

Chic Ideas

If you wish to capture a chic and polished look with minimal effort, you’ll need to keep your palette simple and clean. To create a modern and timeless palette, follow these tips:

* Eyes: Apply a white or ivory eye shadow liberally across both eyelids.

* Smoke: Once the white or ivory shadow is applied, create a smoky eye by sweeping gray or black shadow into the crease of the eyelid.

* Line: Line eyelids with a dark brown or black eyeliner and smudge the line, blending with your eye shadow brush.

* Blush: Keep blush sparse and minimal. For a universally flattering shade, check out Nars blush in Orgasm.

* Lips: For a polished look, lips should be chic and neutral. Line lips with a neutral lip liner, and top with a nude lipstick such as Nars lipstick in Belle de Jour.

Once you’ve gathered all the supplies to create your prom makeup palette, spend a few nights practicing the application to ensure you’ve worked out any kinks. Techniques such as the smoky or the cat eye can be tricky to master. If need be, seek out a family member or friend that can help create your look, and rely on their expertise while dressing for your magical night.
