1. that dress really pretty ya you can do gold eye shadow a smokey eye or a dark blue eye shadow and smoke up those two looks. with a eye shadow crease brush
2. -smokey eye with shades of grey, blue or both -eyeline top and bottom regularly, lots of mascara to bring out eyes -regularly foundation, blush, and bronze -pink lipstick and lipgloss
3. I think this would look great! You don't want to do blue eyeshadow, but pick something that will compliment your eyes and features. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYbhyFqEpeo She has drugstore dupes on her website, but actually this eyeshadow palette from Wet'n'Wild has all the same colors in it: http://wnwbeauty.com/Product.php?Pid=912 The one called comfort zone is the one I'm talking about, you can find it at walmart, walgreens, CVS, Rite-Aid, etc. Good luck! Your dress is beautiful by the way :)
4. thanks for including so much info - def helps!! ANYWAY- First use your favorite foundation, this will even out the pinkish tone so the blush will all be in the right places! (I would use MAC tinted moisturizer) and be sure to set this with a powder (MAC mineralized skinfinish?) :) Second I would do a gray/silver smokey eye here's a tutorial for smokey eye: (products in the bottom bar if you expand it) and then some black eyeliner on the lashline with a bit of a wing (I would use MAC gel liner in blacktrack) and of course mascara (any drugstore waterproof kind :))! I would also add some white eyeliner on the inner corner and below the brow, be sure to blend it out after you apply :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opYqYAZQpDg Then I would use a little bit of a pink blush (apply lightly - smile and apple on the apples of your cheeks! I would use MAC Well Dressed) And a pink lip (I can't suggest anything here because the one I would use is limited edition :P) Hope you enjoy your night!! :) xoxo -Christie
5. Id use a MAC foundation they are really good and stay on for a long time, alot of department stores that have make up stalls will do a demo for you, but you can also book in for your prom day i think its around 25 pounds for full make up! You have pretty much the same features as me, but your hairs abit longer, and your prom dress is also the same colour as mine was! I used a MAC foundation, and used mac eyeshadow to do my eyes, I went for the smoky look, but its so easy to do yourself. Use an eyeliner to outline all of your eyes, making points at the inner and outer corner, and then use a eye make up brush with MAC eyeshadow to gradually fade out the darker colour, there are loads of tutorials on youtube! As for hair Id say down, loose curls and a middle parting :) Have fun!
