Know Your Dress Colors
Your dress color will give you a rough idea on what kind of makeup you should use. It does not necessarily mean that it should be the same color. You should look at your dress as a theme. For example, if your dress is dark green, then you should use darker makeup. It does not necessarily need to be green. Other colors such as blue and yellow can produce magical results if used well.
Go With Two Colors
Another technique to make your makeup look glamorous is to use two colors in your eyeshadow. It will help if you will use a predetermined eyeshadow pack that accentuates your skin and dress. This way, you don't need to experiment with color palettes.
Accentuate Your Face Shape and Skin Tone
But prom makeup is not limited to two tricks alone. You can also use makeup to accentuate your face shape or skin tone. This technique is called contouring. It allows you to make your nose more prominent or your face slimmer. All you need to do is use a powder that is one tone darker and contour on the right places. Of course, you will understand this better if you will watch it on video.
So as you can see, prom makeup is quite easy to do. These techniques will surely make your makeup extra special for your prom day. Just make sure to make it look as natural as possible because you still want your date to be dazzled by your natural beauty.
