Prom panic! Make-up ideas??

Question - (30 April 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 April 2009)

Hey,

I have my end of school Prom at the beginning of June and I still have absolutely no idea how to have my make-up. I have lightly olive skin (not dark, really subtle) and green eyes - I really have no idea what would suit me? I've looked on lots of different websites and watched 'how-to' videos but nothing really seems to suit me/look nice. Someone suggested that a nice look would be really red lipstick with subtle eye make-up (kinda like Marilyn Monroe/Christina Aguilera style) but I'm so conscious of getting it wrong and looking stupid.

My questions are then;

What make up style would suit my skin tone/eye colour?

What colours would go well?

Any useful prom-make up websites?

Thanks :)

Get some friends round and experiment on each others faces to see what'd suit you all best.

Go with what you feel comfortable with. And practice putting it on loads before you go, don't really wanna look a clown :)

With my prom I just went simple, black eyeliner and eyeshadow, pale pink lip gloss and a slight pink blush because I'm super pale it felt best on me.

Have fun at your prom :)

Desi agony auntIt sounds like i have the same skin tone and eye color as you do... I have found that midtoned pinkish purple eyshadow looks really good and makes my eyes pop! it also depends on what color dress your wearing i wore a dusty pinkish purple dress to my prom. the red lipstick thing looks better on pale skin.... i would sugest a nutral lip gloss youll be having to much fun to go put your lip stick on 50 times through the night anyway. but if all fails go with a color around your dress color or a shimery mix of browns and beige it will look elegent and still hot.
