Prep the Skin
Before you even think of applying makeup, be sure to invest a good skincare routine based in your skin type. Whether your skin is dry, oily or acne-prone, there's a regimen for everyone. From cleansers to exfoliators to moisturizers, we've got all the basics from your favorite brands like Urban Decay. Go the extra mile with a hydrating or illuminating sheet mask to lock in extra moisture.
The Foundation of Any Flawless Look
Help create an even complexion using primer and foundation. From tinted moisturizers to full-coverage liquid or powder foundations, there's something for every preference. Add extra glow using bronzers or self-tanner. Use a setting spray to keep everything in place.
Work Those Angles
Contour, highlight and conceal. This is a super-important step that can elevate your entire makeup look. It's a special occasion after all, so why not take the extra step to look your best. Find a bronzer or contour palette that matches your skin tone.
Play Up the Eyes
All eyes will be on you! Going for a smoky eye or dramatic cat-eye? A cream or powder eyeshadow combo will add dimension to either look. Something more natural? Peachy eyes with long, lushes lashes are a must. Finish any eye look with a coat of volumizing or lengthening mascara and tame those brows with a brow pencil—Anastasia Beverly Hills has great picks!
Longwear Lipcolor is Essential
Make sure your lipcolor stays in place with a longwearing lip shade. Whether you prefer a nude lipstick or bold hues, you're sure to find options for almost every taste. Liquid lipsticks and matte lipsticks with staying power are sure to last you from trips to the punch bowl to another round on the dance floor.
Nail Your Look
The little touches are what complete your perfectly polished appearance. Round out your pre-prom beauty routine with nail polish. Coordinate the color with your dress or make your nails pop in a vibrant hue. Complete your primping process with a spray of your fave perfume and take along a rollerball for touchups throughout the night.
