Over
the weekend I visited Square One Mall for their Prom Day #SQ1Prom. Some of you
may have caught my insta stories shopping around the mall for prom dresses,
shoes, accessories and, of course, makeup! Even though I know how important it is
to find your perfect dress, I know oh too well how hard it can be. It’s always the way when I’m looking for a dress I can’t find one and when I don’t need one and the
event is long done, I find like 3 dresses! Ugh – anyways don’t stress over it, whether
it’s your prom or any other special event where you want to look your best, I’ve listed some of my favorite tried and true makeup products I love using on myself
and clients and are sure to give you that prom (or any event) ready look! And
below are some tips I thought I’d share with you that will hopefully help you with
your prom or any other big event.
1.
Sometimes if you can’t find that perfect dress, get a plain dress and find some
great accessories, like an amazing pair of shoes, a great clutch and fun
earrings.
2.
If a dress is not working out for you, try looking for a skirt and top option.
3.
Makeup and hair really pulls any look together and in my opinion it may be
the most important.
4.
Either find a makeup artist (like me J ) who can do your makeup and take the stress away
or practice doing your makeup the way you want it to look for that special night.
5.
Have a hairdresser do your hair, or again if you’re planning on doing your own hair then practice your do! Also and this is my own personal experience, if you’re going
to have a hairdresser do your hair for any event book in a trail appointment a
week or so in advance. There’s nothing worse than leaving a hair salon for your
big night hating the way your hair looks. I’m so happy I did this when it was
my prom because the first go around I looked like Shirley Temple with an up do,
it was not a cute look!
6.
Get proper under undergarments, they make a huge difference! A proper fitting
bra is so important and ladies don’t be ashamed to wear Spanx! Beyoncé and the Kardashian’s
wear them so you can too!
These
are all the tips I can think of right now, I hope you find them helpful and whether
it’s your prom or any other event, I hope you have an amazing time and look and
feel your best!
