Get Yer Prom Face On

Inspiration, recommendations, and what you need to get these prom ready looks.

You’ve got your dress, you’ve got your shoes, now let’s choose your makeup. There are gonna be a lot of cameras flashing! Choose a look you love – these photos will be around pretty well as long as you are.

BRONZE BOMBSHELL

Keep it monochrome with Blake Lively’s bronzed look. This 70’s-esque look is all about subtlety and glow – but careful, because the shimmer you put on does not pair well with oily skin. To keep your face from looking over-lustrous, make sure to tote Clean & Clear® Oil Absorbing Sheets. They’ll help you keep your skin matte all night – and won’t remove any makeup.

CLASSIC GLAMOUR

Kristen Stewart channels 50’s Hollywood glam with bold, red lips and delicately darkened eyelids. Use a warm brown eyeshadow instead of black to avoid looking too harsh – and highlight the inner corners and around your eyes with a soft white powder to illuminate your look.

IMPRESSIVE EYES

If you’re sporting a black or cream dress – why not pop some colour on your eyelids? If you make the bold move like your girl Jessica Alba – be sure to keep it subtle with a mauve coloured lipstick. Also, be sure to pack a really good eye makeup remover – because there’s nothing classy about sporting turquoise smudges around your eyes the morning after. We recommend Clean & Clear® Soothing Eye Makeup Remover. The name says it best!

EYE CATCHING LIPS

Looking to step it up a notch? Go orange! (If you dare).  If you sport a bright orange lip like Kat Graham, make sure you balance it out with a burnt orange / brown eyeshadow. We love this look – and if you’re the brave one to do prom in orange-lipped glory, PLEASE SEND US PICS!
