'Tis the season to have prom! Now, while I am too old for prom (sadface), many of you are getting excited, ready, and nervous to look like a complete princess! Since we are on the subject of prom, I ended up going through some old photos that I have not gone through in years, and thought I would share my days of prom! I feel so old!
This is my best friend, Amanda. Shes pretty much a boss, and was with me through all of high school. Sadly, were in different states now, but I still love her all the same. Notice how I cut my date out of the second photo, HAHA! And thats pretty much the story of my prom! Because I graduated as a Junior, I was able to graduate the same year as Amanda (2010), but I only ended up having one prom. Moving on! Oh, I also found pictures of my "senior/junior" photos...
I don't look any different, haha! Enough memory lane. I wish I had a good photo of my makeup at prom, because let me tell you, even though my prom wasn't the best, my makeup ROCKED. Due to the many requests, I made my first ever pictorial today of prom makeup. If I had prom today, this is how I would more than likely be doing my eyeballs.

Step one: Prime your entire lid using Urban Decay Primer Potion (or the primer of your choice, but this is my personal favorite)
Step two: Using any basic white (matte or shimmer) eyeshadow, apply it underneath your brow, and to the inner corner of your eyes
Step three: Define your crease by applying "Tease" from the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. A nice alternative to this color would be "Velvet Revolver"from the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette. Blend this out as high as you would like towards your brow.
Step four: Define your crease EVEN FURTHER by adding "Busted", also found in the Naked 2 Palette. This color is actually like a burgundy, and works nicely with the other neutral colors. The higher you blend this color up, the darker your eyes will be. Be gentle when applying this color, as it IS very dark.
Step five: Using the Too Faced Glitter Insurance primer, prime your lid only (where you have not applied any color yet). This primer is a little sticky, so I suggest using a separate brush. (It wont ruin your brush or anything, it'll just cause the eyeshadow to stick weird if you forget to wipe it off). Pat on cosmetic glitter. Helpful Tip: Hold a paper towel directly underneath your lower lash line to catch fall out of the glitter. Glitter can get messy, so avoid the mess all together!
Step six: Line 'em up and add some false lashes! For this look, I used the BH Cosmetics Sassy lashes. They are full lashes, but I also love the corner lashes 305 by Ardell (that you can find at Walgreens). Corner lashes are good for those who are just starting out with lashes and don't want to struggle. Plus, these particular ones will give you more of a cat eye shape, even without the cat eyeliner.

Here is the end product! I paired this look with a lipstick from MAC, when they still had their Archie Collection out. If you ask the counter for the light pink from the Archie Collection, I am sure they could give you all a close match.
