Follow these easy step-by-step directions and you will have one "to-do" checked off your Prom list!

For foundation, the last thing you want is a cakey face. You want to look

fresh and glowing. Try using a small amount of foundation and a moist Beauty Blender, this will keep it very natural looking while evening out your skin-tone. It will not cover all blemishes, so you may have to go in with a separate concealer for those!

For under-eye concealer use something light and light-reflecting with good coverage.

*Before you start, prime your eye and apply a cream shadow base to ensure

that your shadow will last! I used NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Milk

Step 2: Take a fluffy blending brush and sweep a purple shadow through your crease-

it doesn't have to be super neat!

Step 8: In highschool, I certaintly wasn't a lipstick wearer, so a neutral lip is a great option for

formals and will go with any combination of eye shadow you choose.
