Prom 2010 Makeup Tips & Tricks

By Zena B.

Say goodbye to the smoky-eyed look this prom 2010. With the return of Spring comes a newfound respect for pastels, so toss out that ancient black eyeliner. Instead, blend a creamy powder blue or pistachio matte shadow outward on your top lid. Tone it down by pressing a high impact mascara at the base. This will brighten up your look in under 30 seconds.

Make prom 2010 your night to remember. Pastels brighten your eyes and make them appear bigger and brighter. Your makeup will also match with just about any dress! Very neutral and makeup that is barely there is also really hot for prom this spring. Here below, is a guide to help you remember all the basics of putting together the freshest face for prom 2010.

Hair: Pull your hair away from your face while doing your makeup. This helps keep mascara and powders out of your hair and prevents colorful stains.

Eyebrows: Brush your eyebrows with an old toothbrush and hold them in place with clear mascara or clear gel. Be sure they are neatly groomed, and any spaces in between your brows can be filled in with a brow pencil.

Eyes: Use eyedrops to elimate redness and make your whites whiter. Do this before applying any makeup. Next, brush a light pastel color all over your lid and browbone. You can go a little bit darker on the actual lid after applying the lighter color. Apply mascara, and if desired, carefully apply a dark eyeliner on bottom lashline to outline your eyes.

Cheeks: Apply a cream based blush to your cheeks. This helps the color on your cheeks to last longer. If you do not have a cream based blush, apply powder blush after applying foundation to your entire face.

Lips: If you have a lip stain apply it first and add gloss or lip balm after to make your lips smooth and shiny. No lip stain? use a long lasting lipstick or pencil lip liner first all over you lips. Then apply the gloss or lip balm.

Face: Apply concealer under your eyes and over any acne spots. Then mix up your foundation with a little bit of moisturizer for a smoother application. Apply all over face with clean hands or a makeup sponge. Once blended in perfectly, apply powder to eliminate any shine or simply use oil-blotting sheets. -SZ
