Prom Makeup – Part 2

Once you’ve determined whether your dress is flirty and fun, romantic and old fashioned, sexy and shapely or chic and polished, you’re ready to create a cosmetic palette that will continue this look from head to toe.

Flirty Ideas
Cosmetics are fun and festive. Certainly not a wallflower, you’re ready to dance the night away. For a flirty makeup look, follow these tips:

* Eyes: Keep the eyes flirty with a bright
and sparkly eye shadow. Glitter shadows are a must! Shop for a pearl or ivory shimmer eye shadow and layer it liberally on your lids.

* Lips: Flirty lips should be glossy and
kissable. A lip stain will provide endless hours of color, while a clear lip gloss will add the shine that you’ll love while out on the dance floor.

Lip & Cheek Stain

* Blush: Keep your cheeks rosy and cheerful
with a cream blush.

* Glitter: Lightly brush glitter allover
your shoulders, chest, and cheekbones for a festive and playful look.

Romantic Ideas

For the true romantic, prom night is the perfect occasion for showcasing your feminine side. To create a romantic palette, follow these tips:

* Eyes: Sweep a taupe eye shadow over eyelids. Use a deeper shade of brown or taupe to lightly fill in the crease of the eyelid.

* Lips: A rose tinted lipstick is universally flattering and sure to highlight your romantic side. Line lips with a neutral lip liner and fill in lips with a mauve or pink-brown lipstick.

* Cheeks: Keep cheeks sweet and peachy with an apricot blush. Apply blush liberally on the apples of the cheeks.

* Shimmer: Add a touch of feminine sheen to your look by sweeping a subtle shimmer cream or lotion across your cheekbones.
