From Runway to Prom

The first look is from the Betsey Johnson Spring 2010 show. I love the smears of red glitter on the eyes and lips. This look would be perfectly pulled off at a Valentines Day party or, of course, PROM!!! This look is very played up for the Betsey show, but it could be easily toned down but applying a natural lip color, rather than the vampy one used in the show.



These next looks are all about the hair and comes from the Badgely Mischka Spring 2010 show. Their inspection? The futuristic Jetsons meets the red carpet. They have a nice mix between sky-high poofs and sleek knots. You are bound to find som inspiration from this video.

Valentines Day Makeup

I know that Valentines day is coming up, so now is the time to spice up your makeup and try a little something new. Why not find a cute new makeup look for Valentines Day regardless if you have a date or not. I searched threw a ton of Valentines Day inspired tutorials to find some of my favorites. I bet you girls will enjoy these videos as much as I do.

Ok so I know this video technically doesn't have anything to do with Prom, but it does have something to do with prom dresses. I read the title and I laughed out loud. I now think it would be fun to try and do all sorts of sport in a prom dress...perhaps I will actually will.

The New Smokey Eye

Who said smokey eyes only come in black? I don't think we should limit our creativity when it comes to make up, and these girls seem to agree with me. Here are a few girls that think the smokey eye can go beyond the matted blacks and grays. They are using metallic and colors to really make their smokey eyes POP! These looks will be brilliant for this prom season where colors and natural beauty are the trends.

The pink smokey eye: This look can be easily worn during the day without looking over done, but it can also be amped up for a more dramatic night time look. Pinks, even though they are a color, often come across as very natural. Think slightly sun kissed. So this smokey eye is very diverse, don't be afraid to experiment before so you can get it just right on prom night.

The metallic smokey eye: Who knew silver could make such an amazing base for a smokey eye? Well I guess if your thinking metallic then silver would be the obvious choice. That is exactly what this girl thought when she set out to create this brilliant metallic and blue smokey eye.

The smokey brown eye: A little more subtle than the black smokey eye, the brown smokey eye is used for a more natural look. Again feel free to make this darker or lighter depending on what will fit your prom look.

Exfoliate! This could very well be the most important part of you pre prom preparation (ok after buying the dress and planning prom out, but you know what I am saying). Make sure you remember to exfoliate the night before. No one like unexpected zips popping up the day of the big event. My tree favorite exfoliating scrubs are as follows (in no particular order):

Ocean Salt Cleanser by LUSH $19

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant $30

Clinique Exfoliating Scrub $18
