Prom Makeup: Helping out your Pro

If you are like many,

you don't want to or don't feel like you are capable of doing your own prom makeup

Here are a few tips to make sure that you end up with the look you want:

1) Show up with a clean, MOISTURIZED face-

prepped, soft skin = faster, easier and prettier

2) Bring a picture- this helps the artist know what you like.

Just google some celebrities, and you should be able to find something you like.

Here are a few that I keep on hand just in case:

3) If you just want the artist to improvise and do what they think is best,

be clear about that.

4) Let them know what you are comfortable with-

you want to feel pretty, but still you.

Make sure they are aware before they start what you are up for.

5) Explain your skin- it will make all the difference in application,

and be much more comfortable

6) Decide on colors- especially for the eye, if you have colors you like or want,

it's super helpful for the artist to have a palette to work around.

8) Don't be afraid to correct them- it's your face, and you want to feel good.

It is their job to help make the look YOUR look.

Have SO MUCH FUN my lovelies!

And don't forget to remove your makeup after it's all over!

HAY! First post in AGES, this is Claire

Berit has been super busy, so satisfy yourself with makeup posts for now!

Guess what guys? It's PROM TIME!!!!

Which means (what else) time to start getting FABULOUSSSSS

If there is one product I would recommend for prom, it is foundation.

Flawless skin is a must for good pictures and ultimate FINE factor...

Foundation Basics

*Test on your jawbone in the store. Never purchase and hope you get lucky with the color

*Moisturize before hand-it helps the color adhere to your skin and to blend

*If you only have a few problem spots, you don't have cover your whole face.

*You can always layer if you aren't getting enough coverage

*Finish with a translucent powder so it will stay in place

And, of course,

A Few Little Tips for Prom
*Have fun with your makeup, do something you wouldn't do for school,

be a little crazy for your night out
*Use a chapstick. Nothing worse than chapped lips
*Moisturize (as always)
*Crest Whitestrips. Seriously. It will make any picture better, and smile more luminous.
*Brush your teeth before your makeup (stanky breathe is a no no).

also bring mints and meh beh floss for after dinner?
*Bring along your lip color and powder to freshen up throughout the night
*Fake eyelashes are always fun if you want to try them
*Invest in an Eyemakeup Remover Pen, and bring along some Cutips.

*Shave your legs, even if they aren't showing. its all about how it feels~

*DON'T FORGET DEODORANT!

*If you have a dress where nipple-age in the cold might be an issue, bandaids are a great fix.
*WASH YOUR MAKEUP OFF AT THE END OF THE NIGHT

Most important is that YOU feel like you look good.
Sexy is the sidewalk, not the chalk.

you are so pretty

kisses!
