PREP FOR PROM: 10 Beauty Tips Every Girl Should Know
As a girl, getting ready for prom can be a complicated task. Guys have it easy: rent a tux, buy a corsage and have little prep work the day of prom. But for girls it is a different story. Getting the perfect prom look could take lots of time and preparation. There is finding your dream prom dress, shoes, makeup, and hairstyle to complete your head-to-toe look. With so many things to think about, prom can be a very overwhelming time. That is where this list is here to help.
Here are 10 easy beauty tips to help get you ready for prom and have a great night!
1. Find the right moisturizer: Finding the right moisturizer for your exact skin type can do wonders to make your skin smooth and shiny. Having your skin look healthy and smooth will have you taking the best pictures.
2. Start whitening your teeth early. The perfect smile can make all the difference at prom. It is important to start whitening your teeth at least two weeks before prom to achieve those pearly whites. Products like Crest White Strips work great and are easy to use.
3. Clean up your brows: Some might get their brows done the day of or before prom but it's best to give them some time to rest after. Some girls might have sensitive skin and will get red marks that takes some time to go away. About one week before prom will give you enough time to get them done and look great for the big night.
4. Finding the best hairstyle: Months before prom, scroll through Pinterest or Instagram to find a style that would pair perfectly with your dress! If you are going to get your hair done by a hairstylist then you definitely need to schedule a “practice” session. Everything has to be perfect. If you are doing it yourself or with the help of mom or bestie, definitely test it out too! You never know if you will change your mind about the hairstyle or the accessories might not fit it as perfectly as you thought. Getting a practice run will give you an idea how your hair will turn out, saving you from a potential mistake.
5. Getting the perfect tan: It doesn't hurt to look a little bit tanner than usual on your prom night. A spray tan will have you look glowy and steer away from the winter scaries. Spray tans are a healthier option to get that perfect glowing skin for prom.
6. Hydrate your hair: Try to refresh your hair up a bit before prom! You will be putting so much product and heat on your hair that you should try to hydrate it before! You want to make sure whatever hairstyle you choose it comes out perfect!
7. Highlight your eyes OR your mouth: One of the biggest mistakes you can make is putting on too much makeup. Have a nice clean look by highlighting either your eyes or lips. You don't have to buy the most expensive makeup to look stunning (you might not even want to wear much!). Make sure you choose a stunning gloss and lipliner to match your dress though! A little eyeliner wont hurt too especially if you have light eyes! It will give you a little bit of a pop!
8. Pick out the perfect handbag: Accessories are everything to a look! Some may same it might even be one of the most important parts of an outfit, especially a special night like prom! You need to find a handbag that is the perfect size, you don't want to lug around a huge purse with nothing in it! It needs to be perfect to throw around but also match your prom vibe. Good thing is CLV has a handbag line for you to choose from!
9. Pick the right shoes: Having the right shoes is an important part of preparing for prom. Not only do you want shoes that look good but also feel good. You are going to be walking around, standing for pictures, and dancing so you want shoes that aren’t going to hurt your feet. Of course you want them to match too so look through our shoe catalog for the golds, silvers, and dazzle!
10. Have time for pictures: This is a night you want to remember forever. It doesn't matter if you are close to your date or not! You need the pictures to remember it and show your future friends and family. Or show off the dress at least! Get ready early to have time to take pictures with your date, besties, and family. You do have to post on Instagram afterall (send them to us too!), we might even repost!
